Actor Kevin Costner has reconnected with his ex-wife Cindy Silva Costner to help him get through the pain of his divorce from Christine Baumgartner.

That's according to sources who spoke to Daily Mail, which described the actor as heartbroken by his second divorce.

Costner and Silva were married from 1978 through 1994, People reported. The divorce cost him $80 million, according to People.

"Kevin and Cindy have stayed close friends and she has been guiding him in recent months over his heartbreak from Christine as she is a wise woman," the source told Daily Mail.

According to Daily Mail, Silva is remarried to a business executive named Larry Ameen and has been for 20 years. She lives in California.

"He (Costner) really appreciates that their sad split has led to such a beautiful friendship. She is an ally and offers great advice. He leans on her quite often," the source added to Daily Mail.
