Kevin Costner’s daughter Annie Cox shared how her past struggles led her to take a leap of faith.
Cox shared a candid post via her Instagram on Thursday, April 17, and reflected on how she had been “battling some mid-life demons” in recent years as well as how it motivated her to visit France.
“Last year when I turned 40 I decided to go to Paris. I had never been. It felt a little wrong in the moment actually. I wasn’t feeling my best, or very confident after having taken a couple years off to take care of our kids,” Cox, who is based in Santa Barbara, California wrote. “I was, in retrospect, battling some mid-life demons, but I knew I needed something. I’m thankful I trusted my gut and ‘took the trip’ because it was absolutely the spark to remind me who I was and am.”
Cox added that the trip was just the breath of fresh air she needed in her life, sharing how the Paris experience was also beneficial once she returned home.

“I jumped into work as soon as I got back and this last year just burst wide open for me. Everything unfolded as it should have,” she wrote. “Today I’m 41 and more confident than ever that life is unfolding as it’s meant to. Convenient I guess when your gut tells you to go to Paris and drink wine all day and look at art and get a tattoo. But who am I to argue 
”
The real estate agent, who is the daughter of Costner and his first wife, Cindy Silva, shared a series of images from her vacation alongside the pithy caption. The carousel included photos of herself posing in the streets of Paris and one of herself getting a tattoo.
Cox shares two kids with her husband Dr. Danny Cox, who she married in 2016 at her father’s private estate in Carpinteria, California.
Prior to swapping the bright lights of Hollywood for her real estate career in Santa Barbara, Cox made appearances in several of her dad’s films: Dances with Wolves, Waterworld and The Postman.
