Amid a tense legal dispute over their shared assets and child support, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner's 18-year marriage came to an end due to "irreconcilable differences."
The aftermath of their separation has been marked by disagreements and legal wrangling.
The primary point of contention between the former couple centers on their common property. As the legal battle unfolds, another significant point of disagreement is the matter of child support for their three children: Cayden, aged 15, Hayes, aged 14, and Grace, aged 12.
Initially, demands for child support were set at a staggering $248,000 per month for their three children. However, the judge intervened and subsequently established child support at $130,000 per month, recognizing the extraordinary lifestyle shared by Kevin and Christine and its impact on their children.
In her legal documents, Christine acknowledged their privileged lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of providing their children with a comfortable home and imparting family values and gratitude.
With a legal settlement now in place, recent reports suggest that Christine Baumgartner is taking a well-deserved vacation on Hawaii's Big Island. Interestingly, she is not alone on this trip; she is accompanied by Josh Connor, a millionaire financier and a longtime friend of Kevin Costner. Notably, Josh resides in close proximity to the Costner family home in Carpinteria, California.
Sources close to the situation have emphasized that Christine and Josh share a strong friendship and that there is no romantic involvement between them. As per these sources, they have been close friends for many years and are enjoying their time together in Hawaii as friends.
