Kevin Costner has been showing off his family more than ever over the past couple months, once again posing as a proud dad at the Los Angeles premiere of his film Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 on Monday, June 24.
The actor and filmmaker, 69, brought five of his seven children to the premiere of the long-awaited western epic and took photos with them on the red carpet.
Kevin was joined by daughter Annie, 40, and son Joe, 36, shared with ex-wife Cindy Silva, and his three youngest, 17-year-old Cayden, 15-year-old Hayes, and 14-year-old Grace, shared with his second ex-wife Christine Baumgartner.
The event marked the first red carpet appearance for Kevin's oldest son Joe since 2008, having been accompanied instead by his daughter Lily, 37, when Horizon premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Annie wore a metallic tie-dye dress with ombré earth tone shades, paired with a pastel yellow blouse, and youngest Grace wore a dress in the same shade. Joe wore a blue suit and tie, while brothers Cayden and Hayes twinned in black.
The former Yellowstone star embraced his five children, with his two daughters on one side and his three boys on the other, and his striking sons stood taller than their impressive 6'1" dad.

The actor appeared on a recent installment of The Kelly Clarkson Show and spoke with the host (and fellow parent) about working with his children in the movie business, considering Hayes makes his big screen debut in Horizon.

"Mine have just grown up in this world that I have actually kept them from," he explained. "So I don't give these parts out like candy to my children, knowing that they have a value."

He shared, though, that he was proud to have his youngest son by his side for the project, and even went into detail on his pivotal scene in the epic, which he termed "debilitating."
