Kevin Costner reflects on his Thanksgiving with his family.
On Monday, Dec. 2, the actor marked the recent holiday with a touching post in which he spoke of being “grateful” to spend time with his children as he shared recent photos of himself with six of his seven children.
In the first photo, a smiling Kevin was seen on the beach joined by daughters Annie (40), Lily (38) and Grace (14), plus sons Joe (36), Cayden (17) and Hayes (15). The actor stood in the middle as they hugged each other as they posed for a photo together.
“I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the people you love the most,” Kevin, 69, wrote in the caption. “At the top of my ‘thank you’ list are the many really, really special memories I’ve had with my kids this year.”
“Here’s to a holiday season dedicated to creating more,” he concluded.

Kevin shares Annie, Lily and Joe with his first wife Cindy Silva, and Liam with ex-partner Bridget Rooney. His three youngest children – Cayden, Hayes and Grace – are with his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner. The couple finalized their divorce in February.
At the premiere of the film in LA Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1 in June, Kevin spoke with PEOPLE about how proud he is to have his kids support a film he directed, co-wrote and starred in, as well as his film career in general.
“It’s quite comforting to understand that my kids are looking out for me somewhere, which they always do – you can imagine the feeling,” he said.
Speaking to PEOPLE in 2022 about son Hayes’ appearance in the film, the actor said, “I did it on purpose, so he could hang out with me… I’m like any other parent, trying to figure it out, like, ‘This is really convenient. You should come and be with me.’ ”
