It was previously reported that Christine had asked him to quit filming the popular TV series as his incredibly busy schedule was impacting family life.
Kevin himself told Metro.co.uk in a red carpet interview that the biggest challenge of making the show is being away from his family.
‘The challenges aren’t what you really think,’ he explained.
‘They’re from being away from home, that’s a challenge. The kids are growing up and you want to see everything they do.’
Kevin and Christine were married in 2004 after a four-year-long relationship.
She is his second wife, with the Bodyguard actor previously married to Cindy Silva from 1978 to 1994.
Kevin is also a father to four other children from other relationships: two daughters and a son from his marriage to Cindy, and a son from his brief relationship with Bridget Rooney, born in 1996.
