Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner settle their divorce in 2023, and they both move on to new romances. The 69-year-old actor is reportedly dating singer Jewel, while his ex-wife is enjoying the company of financier Josh Connor. However, things seem to be a little complicated regarding Baumgartner’s chosen boyfriend and Costner reportedly has some ideas in mind.
This is strange because Connor and his ex-wife were Costner’s neighbors, and the two couples were friendly in the past following their daughters’ relationship. So, it is natural for anyone to react to this situation, especially when there are unfounded rumors of an affair.

The insider made some unverified allegations against Costner’s ex, saying, “Kevin just hopes Josh has deep pockets because Christine’s like expensive.” “Christine is training her new man for her lavish lifestyle. He’s paying for everything, dinners out, vacations, gifts.” This news sounds like Costner and Baumgartner’s leftover resentment from their lengthy court battle over the prenuptial agreement the former purse designer signed before their 2004 nuptials. The prenuptial agreement was challenged.
Costner was ordered to pay Baumgartner $63,209 a month in child support for their three children, Kayden Wyatt, 16, Hayes Logan, 15, and Grace Avery, 13. This was a significant reduction from the $175,057 per month she was asking for. People, and prenups were strictly enforced. California family law attorney David Glass spoke to the media outlet about how this financial situation was not working out in Baumgartner’s favor.
“People go to court and then if one party doesn’t perform well, which Mrs. Costner didn’t do well, they get a third of the (child) support she wanted. He did not receive any reward in exchange for his fees. They were told that the prenuptial agreement would be upheld,” he said. “Then she starts to consider, do I really want to litigate over the rest of this?” As for Costner, Glass believed that the drama surrounding the divorce was likely “just a money situation.” How much will it cost for him to undergo testing? How much time, how much pressure and distraction from his career and his kids, versus what he can pay for it?”
With those legal issues ironed out, Costner isn’t looking back since the court has spoken out. RELATED STORY Sophie Turner’s new chapter after Joe Jonas divorce didn’t turn out the way she expected, source says
