After a Tough Divorce, Kevin Costner’s Ex-Wife Finds New Love – You’ll Recognize Him

After enduring a difficult divorce and a bitter custody dispute, both actor Kevin Costner and his former wife of nearly 19 years, Christine Baumgartner, appear to be finding their footing in new relationships.

Rumor has it that Yellowstone star, Kevin Costner, has been spotted spending time with singer Jewel. The two reportedly attended a tennis event at Richard Branson’s Necker Island for the Inspiring Children Foundation.

According to insiders, the pair took a Caribbean vacation together, as suggested by the details released by TMZ. An informant indicated, “There was definitely something going on,” affirming that the two indeed spent time on this exotic holiday.

For Kevin Costner, coming to terms with the end of his marriage hasn’t been easy. Close associates mention that when Christine Baumgartner filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences,” it came as a complete shock to Costner. While he was aware that his prolonged absences might affect their bond, he remained under the impression that they were managing well.

Following the announcement of their separation, Costner’s representative stated, “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have resulted in Mr. Costner having to face a dissolution of marriage.” The statement further requested privacy for Kevin, Christine, and their children during this challenging period.

Christine Baumgartner was pursuing a hefty child support amount of $161,000 monthly, meant for the well-being of their children, Cayden Wyatt, 15, Hayes Logan, 14, and Grace Avery, 13. A court hearing to finalize this matter led to an outcome deemed favorable by Costner’s supporters, although the actor expressed that “no true victory” existed in such disputes.

In a courtroom decision made in Santa Barbara, Baumgartner’s expected monthly child support was significantly reduced to $63,000; a substantial decrease from both the $129,000 she received initially and the $161,000 she sought.

Costner reflected on the situation with Fox News Digital, mentioning, “When you’ve shared a life that long with someone, there are no winners… It’s life, and how quickly it unravels.” He further elaborated, “One moment it feels like you’ve conquered the world, then suddenly you realize how vulnerable we can be.”

Kevin also testified during a later court hearing, vocalizing his concerns about needing to take on jobs he wasn’t comfortable with to meet Baumgartner’s child support expectations.

He remarked, “I want to help, but the notion of inflating it to a point where I can’t do what truly matters to me is daunting,” and, acknowledging his failed marriage, stated, “In this unusual world, we didn’t succeed, and for that, I’m sorry.”

Recently, Christine Baumgartner has reportedly found a new romantic interest. As reported by the Daily Mail, she appears to be seeing financier Josh Connor. Observers noticed the couple together as she dropped him at his residence in Santa Barbara.

Another instance linking the duo was their sighting during a Hawaiian summer vacation last July. This led to Baumgartner being questioned about their bond during the divorce proceedings. Christine addressed the inquiry by stating, “No,” when asked if Connor was her new partner.

Furthermore, Baumgartner’s lawyer disclosed that Connor assisted her with a $20,000 loan amidst her turbulent divorce from Costner.

Josh Connor, like Christine, is also divorced and shares parenting responsibilities for three children with his former partner.
