LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kevin Costner's ex-wife is ready to marry again and is taking her romance high with the actor's former financier friend per Hello Magazine. 

Christine Baumgartner is reportedly set to walk down the aisle a second time, barely a year after her divorce from actor Kevin Costner.

Christine Baumgartner plans to marry again 

The mother of three, Baumgartner plans to tie the knot with her boyfriend, Josh Connor and was spotted dining with the financier in Montecito over Memorial Day weekend.

Baumgartner's children, whom she shares with the 'Yellowstone' actor, joined the lovebirds for dinner after recently attending the Cannes Film Festival with their father for the premiere of his film 'Horizon: An American Saga.'

Baumgartner and Connor intend to get married shortly and advance in their romance. Even before Baumgartner and Costner's divorce was official, the two were intimately involved. Though the two were seen together before Baumgartner's divorce, Baumgartner denied dating Connor then.

It is unclear if the couple has selected a date, but it is thought that the billionaire has already told his friends about his plans to marry Baumgartner. He believes the blonde beauty is "worth it," and he's cool with their two families getting together.

"Josh knows he can give her what Kevin didn't, even though he is a high-powered executive with his demanding career," said an insider, per Daily Mail. 

They added, "He also knows how important her children are to her as his are to him. Trying to blend two families isn't easy, but she's worth it."

Baumgartner shares three kids with Costner: Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 13. Connor also has three children with his ex: Lily, 20, John, 18, and Abigail, 13.

Most of the family was seen getting together over the weekend at the elegant Coral Casino Beach and Cabana Club; Lily and John were the only ones missing. In addition to his obligations to his children, Costner was deeply involved in his Western picture franchise, 'Horizon: An American Saga,' during the divorce proceedings.

The actor told GQ about his divorce, "So much. Very serious stuff and those things are very important. I have to deal with them," adding "And I have to deal with them daily, emotionally, historically almost. And then there's the immediate needs of children."

He added, "I'm not going to list the things I will stop with them. That is my job, looking at that and dealing with that."
