Regarding the entertainment world, unless you have been living under a rock, you are undoubtedly aware of the recent high-profile divorce of Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner.
After around 18 years of marriage, the couple filed for divorce, claiming “irreconcilable differences.” According to reports, Costner was taken aback by his ex-wife’s choice to file, and that sparked a back-and-forth dispute that dominated news for the majority of 2023.
After the divorce was finalized in September, it seems that both parties are moving on. While Baumgartner recently acknowledged her supposed relationship with her old neighbor Josh Connor, Costner is apparently dating US artist Jewel.
It’s safe to believe that Costner and Baumgartner are still in love after their legal disputes and the way they ended their relationship.
Sons Cayden, 15, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 12, are the couple’s three children together. Costner’s days of being a happy family seem to be long gone, even though a judge ordered him to pay $63,209 in child support each month.
It’s interesting to note that, up until this point, neither partner has acknowledged the other’s desire for a romantic connection following their divorce.
Following up on last week’s stories that suggested Costner had suspected his ex-wife of having an affair with their neighbor Josh Connor, the 69-year-old actor responded curtly to questions from the press over Baumgartner and Connor’s current public dating status.
Entertainment Tonight was able to secure a video in which Costner was asked about his thoughts on his ex-wife dating their neighbor.
In response, the star of Yellowstone said, “I don’t have a next-door neighbor.”
The Daily Mail released several photos of the 49-year-old couple earlier this month, one of which showed Christine—a fashion designer by profession—seeming to drop Josh off at his house.
Baumgartner was compelled to respond to a query on her relationship with the other person while going through her divorce court proceedings after the two were spotted together last July while on summer vacation in Hawaii.

When asked where Connor was her boyfriend, Baumgartner said, “No.” Then, the 49-year-old said that during their vacation together, Connor had slept in a different room. But according to The Mail, Baumgartner and Connor went to Hawaii again in December.
“They’re together and have been for a while,” the person continued. While Kevin was probably in Aspen with the kids, they spent time together in Hawaii prior to Christmas.
