Christine Baumgartner and Josh Connor Reportedly Move On With Each Other, Sparking Dating Rumors
Christine and Kevin had been married for nearly 19 years before they announced their separation. However, the divorce was not as easy as pictured since her husband questioned Christine’s loyalty throughout the marriage. Christine initially demanded a sum of $248,000 per month as child support for their three children together, however, the court ruled in favor of Kevin Costner, setting up the ex-couple for $63,209 per month.
Despite the turmoil, the ex-couple agreed to be civil for once, meeting on the same grounds. However, this does not signify a reconciliation between them since both appear to have moved on. Christine, Baumgartner, and Kevin Costner are currently on speaking terms. Like Christine, the 69-year-old actor and filmmaker is, at the moment, dating singer Jewel.
Kevin Costner Questioned Christine’s Loyalty Throughout Their Marriage
Kevin Costner already had strong suspicions about his wife’s growing bond with Josh Connor. Josh had been Christine’s rock throughout the divorce process, as reported by an insider. Josh Connor, a father of three and a financial specialist, filed for divorce on January 3, 2023, five months ahead of Baumgartner, a move that shocked Costner. According to sources reported by Us Weekly, Costner, who is currently dating Jewel—had a hunch about the bond between Christine and Josh. The new couple’s “close bond was a real elephant in the room,” the source added.
