Christine Baumgartner Has Allegedly Moved On With One of Ex-Husband Kevin Costner’s Buddies
While Kevin Costner may have officially moved on with songstress Jewel, it seems his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner may have found love too (and with one of his buddies)!
In details and photos obtained by DailyMail, it seems Baumgartner’s reported new man is financier Josh Connor, who is a divorced father of three and best buddies with Costner.
Now, if that name is familiar to you, there’s a reason why: Baumgartner was actually accused of dating him right after she filed for divorce from Costner. Costner accused her of having a new boyfriend, but she denied, under oath, back in Aug 2023.
It’s unclear when Baumgarter’s alleged relationship with Connor started, but DailyMail did shed a few reported details about the two. For instance, Connor flew her to Hawaii on a private jet to spend Christmastime together, and they even went on a trip to New York together. Along with that, they were first spotted together in July 2023, but it seems as though the pair may be confirmed as of Jan 2024.
An insider said, “They’re together and they have been for a while. They spent time before Christmas together in Hawaii while Kevin was presumably in Aspen with the kids. They also made a trip to New York together. She hasn’t been doing much to hide what’s going on from her friends.”
The pair allegedly met through their daughters, who are close friends. Connor and Costner are allegedly pals, who started hanging out after they realized they were neighbors. Along with Connor and Baumgartner’s relationship time being hazy, many don’t know if Connor and Costner are still pals.
For those who don’t know, Costner and Baumgartner were together for four years before marrying on Sept 25, 2004. They share three children together named Cayden, Hayes, and Grace. However, Baumgartner filed for divorce on May 2023, and the pair finalized their divorce within months, despite their contentious back-and-forth dominating headlines.
