Kevin Costner flippantly told kids about divorce on 10-minute Zoom: estranged wife
“The Bear” heartthrob Jeremy Allen White was left “blindsided” when his estranged wife Addison Timlin posted about being a single mom, sources tell Page Six.
White, 32, is now starring in the hotly anticipated second season of his Hulu hit, which debuted Thursday, after winning a Golden Globe for the first season.
But behind the scenes, he’s been dealing with the heartbreak of his marriage split.
“Californication” actress Timlin, 31, filed for divorce in LA after just under three years of marriage back in May. She gave no reason for the break-up.
Friends say he definitely did not cheat, and suggested his filming schedule in Chicago had put pressure on the relationship.
In an Instagram post on Mother’s Day, she called herself a “single mom,” while detailing the difficulties of raising children without a “witness” by her side, and posting photos of their young kids.
“Being a single mom is not how I pictured it. It is so f–king hard,” Timlin wrote. “It is all out covered in s–t crying on the floor kick you in the shins screaming with no sound coming out hard.”
Hours later, however, she updated the caption to read, “Co-parent is not how I pictured it”, as followers quickly picked up on her emotional message, and one said: “There is a difference between being a single mom and being a mom that is single.”
In her initial divorce filing, Timlin asked for primary physical custody of their daughters Ezer, 4, and 2-year-old Dolores, and asked the court to award White visitation.
But just last week, White responded by asking for joint custody in his response to the filing, in court records seen by Page Six.
A source who knows the couple confirmed that White was “blindsided” by the Mother’s Day post, saying: “Addison changed her Instagram post because it wasn’t accurate, a lot of people were like ‘what are you talking about?’.
“Jeremy had no control about where he was filming. He filmed ‘The Bear’ in Chicago and any time he could, he came home. He is so involved in those girls’ lives, he adores his daughters.”
Both White and Timlin, who met as teens, have been working in Hollywood for years; White rose to fame as bad boy intellectual Phillip “Lip” Gallagher in Showtime’s “Shameless,” while Timlin also appeared in the films “Little Sister‘“and “That Awkward Moment.” The pair even starred alongside each other in the 2008 drama “Afterschool.”
Only weeks before filing for divorce, Timlin praised her husband online when he won his Golden Globe in January.
“When we were 14 years old and I saw you perform for the first time in drama class, I couldn’t take my eyes off of you, She gushed. “Daddy winned another trophy, we’re so proud,” to which White responded: “Love you.”
White is now promoting the new season of his FX show, in which he plays Carmy Berzatto, a prodigious young chef who returns home to Chicago to assume control of his dead brother’s sandwich shop.
Due to the writer’s strike, he won’t be filming anytime soon, but he has two movies coming out soon; “The Iron Claw” with Zac Efron and Harris Dickinson and “Fingernails” with Jessie Buckley and Riz Ahmed.
Page Six has reached out to reps for both actors.
