The former couple got married in 1998 and later adopted a son Roan.

Things only intensified after it was revealed that Baumgartner requested $248,000 a month in child support.

Costner called the amount “highly inflated and unsubstantiated” in court documents obtained by People.

Following the court’s order for her to move out, Costner offered $51,940 per month in child support, which Baumgartner deemed “completely inappropriate.”

Her attorney, John Rydell, stated that living a luxurious lifestyle was “in their DNA,” referring to the children.

Baumgartner also became emotional in court.

Ultimately, Costner was ordered to pay $63,209 per month in child support.

In February 2024, the couple reached a divorce settlement, with both receiving joint custody of their children.

Following the split, Costner was rumored to be involved with a singer-songwriter, Jewel, though he denied the rumors.
