Instagram<\/a> page to show off his new family member!<\/p>\n\u201cNewest addition to the family,\u201d the 69-year-old actor captioned the short series of photos.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m already in love with this special guy,\u201d Costner very relatably expressed.<\/p>\n
The photos themselves show Kevin Costner and his adorable new puppy.<\/p>\n
One pic shows the actor\u2019s new dog darting through the short, trimmed grass in front of him. The bright sunlight and shade make for some dynamic lighting.<\/p>\n
It looks like someone had beach plans that day, as Costner poses by a vehicle that has a surfboard on the roof.<\/p>\nKevin Costner attends the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 07, 2024.

Se see Costner holding the puppy, who is dozing off. The contentedness is palpable.<\/p>\n
As we know, puppies (and the babies of other species, including humans) may fall asleep and wake up very quickly. Being alive can be exhausting, but the wee ones are able to fall into unconsciousness to rest and grow.<\/p>\nKevin Costner speaks onstage during the Pre-GRAMMY Gala & GRAMMY Salute to Industry Icons Honoring Julie Greenwald and Craig Kallman on February 04, 2023.

He is wearing a bone-shaped nametag.<\/p>\n
While Costner is clearly putting all of his self-control into not spamming his 1.2 million Instagram followers with hundreds of pics, he has shared more.<\/p>\n
His Instagram Stories show his newest companion enjoying life with him and visiting the beach. Fun!<\/p>\nKevin Costner arrives at the Paramount+ UK launch at Outernet London on June 20, 2022.

The two met in 1994, but after another chance meeting in 1998, they began dating.<\/p>\n
Costner and Baumgartner married in September of 2004. Their marriage spanned 19 years, until Baumgartner filed for divorce in September of 2023.<\/p>\nKevin Costner speaks onstage during the 94th Annual Academy Awards at Dolby Theatre on March 27, 2022.

They welcomed two sons, Cayden Wyatt in 2007 and Hayes Logan in 2009.<\/p>\n
In 2010, they had a daughter, Grace Avery. All three children are teens and all three are minors.<\/p>\nKevin Costner speaks onstage during the 26th annual Art Directors Guild Awards at InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown on March 05, 2022.

Now, that ugly battle is over. Hopefully, for good.<\/p>\n
Costner, and the rest of us, can focus our attentions on a very lucky puppy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
