also in the midst of a divorce after spending 18 years with estranged wife Christine Baumgartner, 49, has previously stated that he’s wanted to make “Horizon” for decades, and he made a personal investment to finance it. “I’ve mortgaged 10 acres on the water in Santa Barbara where I was going to build my last house,” he told Deadline in May. “But I did it without a thought.

It has thrown my accountant into a f–king conniption fit. But it’s my life, and I believe in the idea and the story.”Costner is just coming off of his five-year stint starring as patriarch John Dutton on Taylor Sheridan’s Paramount ranching family drama hit, “Yellowstone,” which will end after the second half of Season 5.

Rumors have flown about Costner and Sheridan allegedly feuding behind the scenes, as Costner’s interests have shifted from “Yellowstone” to “Horizon.” While he was making “Horizon,” there were rumors that Costner and Sheridan, 53, were having friction about the “Yellowstone” shooting schedule.

A source told The Daily Mail that Costner, who is also an executive producer on the show, felt dismissed when he raised concerns about the direction that the story was taking — and that he was told to “stick to acting.” The source also said that Sheridan had developed a “god complex.” “Only Taylor truly knows what is going on,” a source told The Post in April. “Taylor spent years not being truly appreciated in Hollywood, and now that he’s the top of the heap, there’s definitely some ego to all of this.”Amid the drama, Costner officially announced his exit from the show.
