Kevin Costner’s Wild Love Life

BBG News

Smiling brightly, Christine Baumgartner (Kevin Costner’s former partner) has been proudly displaying her large, new piece of jewelry in the areas she frequents in California.

Regardless of whether she’s taking her teenage daughter Grace to run errands along Coast Village Road in Montecito or going out with a friend for shopping at the K. Frank boutique nearby, Christine seems more content than ever.

And why shouldn’t she be?

At fifty-one years old, she’s been finding plenty of reasons to grin ever since her engagement to financier Josh Connor two months back.

The ring’s quality is so exceptional that it can reflect light even from a distance of 50 feet, as these unique photos on DailyMail.com clearly demonstrate.

On March 5th, Christine momentarily touched her head while strolling with Grace, aged 14, both of them sporting a cap emblazoned with ‘Montecito’.

Simultaneously, Costner has been openly embracing his single life and making the most of it by attending some high-profile entertainment gatherings.

Baumgartner was spotted in public, accompanied by a female companion, both of them grinning widely upon exiting the high-end retailer K. Frank.

Her left arm casually rested on her expensive $4,500 black Celine ‘Classique Triomphe’ handbag, drawing attention to its prominent large diamond.

A jewelry expert based in Los Angeles, upon viewing the images on DailyMail.com, expressed his amazement by saying, “Wow, that’s really impressive! It appears to be a 5-carat square-cut diamond mounted in platinum.

If this isn’t a cultured diamond, I’d roughly guess its value to be around $50,000.

Previously, the handbag designer found herself getting engaged to Connor, a 49-year-old financier, during an apparently ordinary outing in Santa Barbara on January 26, which turned out to be no ordinary date.

As reported by People.com, he brought her to the beach for the proposal and knelt on one knee. A source shared with the publication that it had been about to rain, so there were hardly any people on the beach at the time of the romantic event.

Connor has been through a divorce and has three kids, while Christine co-parents Cayden (aged 17), Hayes (aged 15), and little Grace (age 7) with her partner, who is 70 years old (named Costner).

The proposal arrived about a year and some months following the official conclusion of her turbulent divorce with the actor from Yellowstone.

A month ago, Connor put up for sale his luxurious five-bedroom, five-bathroom Montecito bachelor house by the sea for a staggering $7.3 million. However, rather unexpectedly, he removed the property from the market on March 4th.

Christine was renting a home for $22,000 a month just two miles away but has since downsized.

During the extended divorce process, a court ruling in 2023 mandated Kevin to pay Christine $63,209 monthly as child support, which is significantly less than the $248,000 per month she initially asked for.

As a dedicated supporter, I anticipate that the current allocation may decrease when young Cayden Wyatt Costner reaches his eighteenth birthday on May 6th. The backing I’ve provided is set to conclude in June 2028, marking Grace’s official transition into adulthood.

It’s possible that Christine’s financial troubles stemming from the child support dispute continue to be a concern for her. At some stage, it became known that Connor had lent her $10,000 because of his own financial difficulties.

Besides reducing her living space three times following the separation, it’s also evident that financial struggles may be affecting Christine individually, as indicated by other telltale signs.

Throughout their nearly 20-year long marriage, both of the kids attended exclusive private schools. However, currently, those same two children are enrolled in the Santa Barbara public school system.

This school doesn’t have a reputation for high academic achievement and, at present, falls within the lowest 50% among all public schools in California.

Another method of cutting costs is evident in Christine’s use of a two-year-old Range Rover whose registration tags are overdue by ten months, as well as her driving with nearly bare tires.

She frequently handles tasks such as school drop-offs, grocery shopping, doctor visits, and after-school activities, which means our car tends to spend a great deal of time traveling.

Costner recently dropped a carousel of photos on Instagram showing what he’d been up to last month.

The event started by sharing pictures of him attending the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where he mingled with director Quentin Tarantino, aged 61, and discussed his movie titled Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2.

Costner escorted his three children whom he co-parents with Christine to the gathering, and this wasn’t the solitary occasion that month where he enjoyed some freedom.

In addition, he was present at the Super Bowl held in New Orleans and the 50th anniversary special of Saturday Night Live in New York City.

In this article, I shared a thrilling video clip from an unforgettable football match, where I had the chance to hang out with my fresh acquaintance, 31-year-old Pete Davidson. Later, I showed some snaps of us at his stand-up show, and surprisingly, I was featured on camera during one of his comedic acts.

Despite his ex-partner appearing to have moved forward, it’s been reported by someone familiar with the situation that Kevin Costner is not actively seeking a serious relationship at this time. However, there have been rumors connecting him to several individuals following their separation.

In November 2023, Kevin and singer Jewel sparked rumors when they were spotted together at Richard Branson’s Necker Island, an occasion for a fundraising event organized by Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation.

In an interview with Howard Stern back in June, I, as a seasoned showbiz veteran, set the record straight and dispelled a persistent rumor about a past involvement with Jewel.

He told the longtime radio host, ‘Jewel and I are friends. We’ve never gone out ever.’

He expressed, “She holds a unique place in my heart, and I can’t bear the thought of gossip damaging our bond, as it’s precious to me. To me, she’s extraordinary. She’s captivatingly attractive, worthy of any relationship.

Costner has been more recently associated with actress Sharon Stone, but she herself debunked those speculations.
