'Broke' Kevin Costner 'Fuming' Over Ex-Wife Christine Baumgartner's 'Plan to Get Hitched to Boyfriend': 'After His Film Flop It Hurts!'
Costner and Christine Baumgartner's split played out in the media.
Aug. 20 2024, Published 6:49 p.m. ET
Kevin Costner's ex-wife Christine Baumgartner is set to tie the knot with new beau Josh Connor — but it’s the Yellowstone cowpoke who is fit to be tied.
Costner's ego has taken a beating as his blossoming romance with singer Jewel has tanked, and his epic movie Western, Horizon: An American Saga — which he's sunk millions of his dough into — is bombing with critics and at the box office, insiders told RadarOnline.com.
Costner reportedly shelled out $28 million to fund the four-part project.
"Now he's hearing Christine is firming up plans to marry Josh, who used to be his friend, and it hurts," said a source.
"Kevin thought he was over Christine, who apparently blindsided him with divorce papers. But the combination of things including his rotten luck with Horizon and getting the brush-off from Jewel has got him fixating on where everything went wrong."
The couple divorced last May after 18 years of marriage.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Christine pulled the rug from under the star when she filed for divorce in May 2023 after 18 years of marriage and three children, Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14.
Following a brutal court battle, Costner won a small victory when the judge ordered him to pay Christine $63,209 a month in child support instead of the $161,592 she wanted.

The actor's rumored romance with Jewel reportedly ended earlier this summer.
Now, she has moved into a new $22,000-a-month rental in Montecito, two miles from Josh's home.
"They are together all the time and the talk among their mutual friends is that they're moving toward an official engagement and wedding," dished the insider.

Costner was 'feeling sorry for himself' in the wake of his embattled movie project and unlucky developments in his love life, an insider said.
"It makes Kevin sick. He feels like he's been stabbed in the back and never got an apology from Josh.
"Kevin's craving closure but finding it difficult, especially as he's hearing how happy Christine is and rumors of a wedding.”
