“Christine wanted a child, but I was afraid I couldn’t be an effective father,” he told Parade in 2008. “[One day] I woke up and thought, ‘Am I going to lose a beautiful woman who is willing to be with me to my very last breath because I am afraid to say yes to a child?’ That’s all it took. … I decided that I was not going to miss out on love.”

A few years after the couple tied the knot, they welcomed sonCayden Wyatt Costnerin L.A. on May 6, 2007. Costner was 52 years old when Cayden was born and he admitted to PEOPLE that he had concerns about being a father over 50, adding that it also came with perks, too.

He continued, “So poor little Hayes, who’s in the middle, is having to play with 8 and 9-year-olds and he’s like [7], and he can hack it. So there’s gonna be this point where he’s gonna go ‘Why was I always forced into leagues?’ "

When Hayes and his siblings are not participating in everyday kid activities, they’re attending their dad’s movie premieres.
