A Secret Scandal
After the divorce proceedings, Costner briefly went out with Bridget Rooney. She is best known for being a part of the family that operates and owns the NFL team, the Pittsburg Steelers. You might have also seen her in the 2011 horror flick Zombie or Not Zombie. The relationship was believed to have spanned from 1995 to 1996, though this remains unverified. It seems like Costner would have liked to keep quiet about this fling, though a scandal eventually surfaced and forced him to change his plans.

Bridget’s Secret Revealed
Bridget Rooney gave birth to Liam Costner in 1996. He is the fourth child of the actor, though rumor has it that Kevin and Liam have always had a rather difficult relationship together. Apparently, Costner only started recognizing that the child was his after Rooney told him to take a paternity test for proof. Once the paternity results were sent to the actor, he created a trust fund for Liam. A reliable source informed People that Kevin paid Liam visits “occasionally but not on a regular basis”.
