In 2004, Hollywood’s master actor Kevin Costner married his girlfriend of 4 years, Christine Baumgartner, a bag designer and a former model, in a dream wedding at his magnificent farm in Aspen.
THE MARRIAGE THAT STARTED LIKE A DREAM ENDED LIKE A NIGHTMARE
The famous couple’s happy home, with their two sons born in 2007 and 2009 and their daughter born in 2010, fell apart before their 20th wedding anniversary. Baumgartner went to court in May 2023 to divorce Kevin Costner.
The divorce case ended in February this year. While the ex-spouses were making serious accusations against each other in the most contentious case that Hollywood has seen in recent years, the fortune that Costner had acquired throughout his long-term Hollywood career could not be shared by the couple.
SHE STARTED SPREADING SMILES WITH HER NEW LOVER
Christine Baumgartner was seen walking around Los Angeles with her boyfriend Josh Connor, whom she started dating after breaking up with Kevin Costner. The fresh lovers looked very happy, walking as if they didn’t care about the crowd around them.
Christine Baumgartner had moved away from the situation she was in during the divorce case and quarrels, her face was smiling and, judging by the comments of those around her, she was shining with the happiness of the relationship in which she had just had the “sweetest months”.
THE MASTER ACTOR SAID, “I SUSPECT OF BEING CHEATED”
Baumgartner, 50, began dating Connor in September 2023, after her split from Kevin Costner, but while her divorce proceedings were still ongoing. Kevin Costner, 69, said he had “strong suspicions” about his ex-wife and financier Josh Connor, who was their neighbor when she was married to him.
Costner claimed in court documents that he received $20,000 from Baumgartner’s new girlfriend, who he said broke up with him and left him penniless, but did not reveal the identity of the mystery donor at the time.
THEY WENT ON A HOLIDAY TOGETHER WHILE THE DIVORCE CASE CONTINUED: SHE IS JUST MY NEIGHBOR AND MY FRIEND
While Christine Baumgartner’s contentious divorce case with Costner was still going on, there was a lot of talk about her going on vacation with Josh Connor, who was only known as her neighbor in those days, and posing on the seaside laughing and having fun.
Baumgartner said that Josh Connor was their neighbor and that they had nothing but a good friendship…
Kevin Costner told the court that he believed his ex-wife was having an affair with Connor, with whom she vacationed in Hawaii in July. However, Baumgartner and his lawyer later denied the relationship when they took the stand in court.
ALLEGED HE IS SLANDERING IN ORDER TO NOT GIVE ALMOST.
Christine Baumgartner said that her ex-husband Costner made this claim in order not to increase his monthly alimony, which is 129 thousand dollars, or even reduce it by half. The ex-spouses battled in court for months over the division of Kevin Costner’s estate and alimony payments.
In one of his previous statements, Kevin Costner said that he tried very hard to inherit the wealth of his previous wife, Christine Baumgartner, and the other women with whom he had children, and admitted that he and Baumgartner had a very solid pre-nuptial agreement for this reason.
THEY COULD NOT EVEN SHARE THE POT AND PAN AND CAME INTO A FIGHT
Costner sent a court order to his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, who went to court for divorce, and sent a notice to his wife, the mother of his three children, to collect all their belongings and leave their property.
According to allegations in the press during this period, the separated couple even had a fight while sharing pots and pans in their home. Kevin Costner claimed that his wife was trying to increase the alimony to an unreasonable amount in order to constantly extort money from him.
THEY AGREED, BUT THEIR TERMS REMAINED SECRET
The couple’s months-long lawsuit finally ended with them reaching an agreement. Details of this agreement were kept secret from the press, but it was claimed that Baumgartner would receive much more money than stated in their prenuptial agreement.
During the divorce case, Christine Baumgartner wanted to get as much alimony as possible from her husband and presented herself in a financially difficult situation. Kevin Costner, on the other hand, claimed that throughout the process, he gave his ex-wife more money than the amount stated in the marriage agreements and that the alimony of their children was sufficient.
“MY CHILDREN CANNOT GIVE UP THE LUXURY THEY ARE USED TO”
Baumgartner accused Kevin Costner of tormenting him and trying to prolong the trial to put him in a difficult situation. According to Christine Baumgartner, the high compensation and alimony she demanded from her ex-husband Costner were necessary for her and her three children to live the luxurious life they were used to…
