Kevin Costner’s ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, has remarried, according to People. Baumgartner and her fiancé, Josh Connor, tied the knot on Saturday, October 18, at a vineyard in Santa Barbara, California, close to where Baumgartner grew up.
About 100 people attended the sunset ceremony, including children from both of the newlyweds. Baumgartner has been engaged to Connor, a financier, since January.
The couple has known each other for years. In fact, Connor was Baumgartner’s neighbor when she was married to Costner. The two men were friends, which fueled media rumors of an affair between Connor and Baumgartner during the divorce proceedings.
Those rumors intensified in July 2023 when Baumgartner and Connor were spotted together in Hawaii. However, Baumgartner denied dating Connor the following month, stating they were just friends. A friend of the couple later confirmed their relationship to People in January 2024.
### When Did Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner Get Divorced?
Costner and Baumgartner married in 2004 and share three children. She filed for divorce in May 2023 after 18 years of marriage to the Oscar-winning actor and director. The divorce was finalized in September 2023.
