After Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner finalized their divorce in February 2024 after 18 years of marriage, the duo moved on with their life and found happiness and love in new people.

While Costner started making reported headlines for his association with Jennifer Lopez, Baumgartner recently got engaged to Costner’s former friend Josh Connor.

As per People, what Christine Baumgartner thought was going to be a simple intimate dinner for two in Santa Barbara, on January 26th, ended up being the ground for Josh Connor to pop the question.

While the duo are now said to be happy, sources confided in Radar Online, that Kevin Costner is reportedly fuming and is looking for the right time to pounce.

Kevin is watching the situation very carefully and hopes to pounce once they become man and wife.

He’s paying Christine a monster sum each month in spousal support but surely she won’t need that when she becomes someone else’s spouse.

During their divorce settlement, Christine Baumgartner sought $161,592 in child support.

Thankfully, Kevin Costner gained a small victory after the judge ordered him to pay $63,209 a month.

But now that Baumgartner is engaged to Josh Connor, Costner is reportedly looking forward to their marriage so that he can renegotiate the terms of his divorce settlement.
