'Yellowstone' star Kevin Costner’s ex marries new man a year and a half after divorce
Kevin Costner’s ex, Christine Baumgartner, has married her fiancé, Josh Connor.
The couple tied the knot on Saturday, October 18 at a private vineyard in Santa Barbara, California, according to People Magazine.
Christine wore a custom Mira Zwillinger gown with hand-embroidered flowers, changing into a white satin strapless dress by Lihi Hod for the reception.
“It was magical—truly,” a wedding guest told People. “The setting was gorgeous, but what made it special was the intimacy of it all. This wasn’t a big production. It was authentic, heartfelt, and so very them. Everyone there felt like they were witnessing something really precious.”
Their marriage comes a little over a year and a half after Christine’s divorce from Costner was finalized in February 2024. They had been married for 18 years and share three children.
Christine and Josh got engaged in January of this year.
Josh was a neighbor of Christine and Costner, and ended up being mentioned in the divorce proceedings.
Christine filed for divorce from Costner in May 2023, and in July, was spotted with Josh during a trip to Hawaii with her and Costner’s kids, per The New York Post.
The outlet reported that in August 2023, during a child support hearing, Christine’s lawyers insisted that she and Josh were just friends and “nothing more than that.”
Costner allegedly had “strong suspicions” something was happening between the couple before they went public with their romance, according to Page Six.
“Christine doesn’t think Kevin has anything to complain about,” a source told the outlet. “Josh has been Christine’s rock throughout the divorce ordeal. If Kevin has a problem with that, that’s on him.”
