On May 8, People magazine shed some light on what went wrong between Kevin Costner and his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, following nearly two decades of marriage, prompting her to suddenly file for divorce on May 1: According to multiple sources, the actor's hectic work schedule played a role in the breakup. "Christine wants them to spend family time at their Santa Barbara home [in California]. During filming, Kevin is not around very much. His absence has been very hard for her. … Christine doesn't want him to throw himself into another project. He has been obsessed with filming [the upcoming movie] 'Horizon' since last year. She wasn't happy about it," one source said, adding that although the Oscar winner "knew" his wife was "unhappy," her decision to file for divorce nonetheless came as an "unpleasant surprise" to him.
Echoed a second source, "At times, his career has taken precedence over his home life. … Kevin hasn't been home very much for quite some time due to filming, the popularity of 'Yellowstone,' and the time necessary for his other projects. He has been in demand. … All of this success and excitement over the new project probably took his attention away from his family more than he realized. Since it didn't look like that would change and likely could get worse, it caused tension at home."

During an interview with Rolling Stone that debuted online on May 7, Dianna Agron artfully dodged questions about the nature of her relationship with Taylor Swift. When asked point-black to address rumors they were "in a relationship" about a decade ago, the "Glee" alum replied, "That is so interesting. … I mean, there have been many stories about my dating life that are so wildly untrue. That's funny." She also addressed rumors she inspired her gal pal's 2012 hit "22," demurring, "Me? Oh, if only! That's more because of a friendship than being the inspiration for the song. But I would not be the person to ask about that. I cannot claim that!" Some Swifties have theorized that Dianna actually inspired several of Taylor's more romantic love songs. Neither Taylor nor Dianna have every publicly dated a woman or identified as members of the LGBTQ+ community, and the Grammy winner is currently rumored to be dating a different former friend: The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.

On May 8, TMZ broke the news that Kim Zolciak recently filed to divorce her husband of more than a decade, Kroy Biermann. She reportedly noted in divorce docs that the marriage is "irretrievably broken with no hope of reconciliation" and listed their date of separation as April 30, 2023. She's asking for primary physical custody and joint legal custody and their four minor children with visitation rights for her estranged hubby, plus spousal support. (Back in 2013, Kroy adopted Kim's two daughters from previous relationships, Brielle Biermann and Ariana Biermann, who are both adults now.)
The following day, TMZ reported that Kroy's own petition for divorce indicates that he and Kim are gearing up for a fight: He's asking for sole legal and physical custody of their kids, plus possession of their marital home. (He wants the reality star to vacate the property.) He's also asking Kim to maintain all financial documents — a clear sign that they're at odds over who's responsible for their recent financial issues.
According to a People magazine source, "money has been a huge issue" for the former professional football player and the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum, who are currently on the hook for more than $1M in taxes. "[It] was just way too much pressure on them," the source said, adding that Kim has been planning to end the marriage for "a long time," though she "didn't tell anyone" a breakup was imminent.
Said a second People source, "There's no cheating on either side. The money has a lot to do with the split, but there were other factors. He's been managing [the family] for a long time, so he technically did have a job. They're not on good terms right now."
