Sharon Stone showed her support to Kevin Costner amid his divorce

The flirtatious exchange between the two A-list stars happened months after the ‘Basic Instinct’ actress publicly defended Costner amid his divorce battle with Christine Baumgartner.

After getting $129K a month in child support from the ‘Yellowstone’ actor, Baumgartner demanded more and asked for $161,592.

She shares sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and 13-year-old daughter Grace with the 69-year-old filmmaker.

The 50-year-old showed images of her children’s lifestyle in the court as she mentioned, as per Hello!, “It’s so much more than this — it’s an experience. We’ve created quite a community.”

Besides, her lawyer supporting her added in the court that luxurious life is “in their DNA at this point”.

Mocking the claims, Stone reportedly wrote below an Instagram post that gave details of the court proceedings, “My ex thought the same.”

Meanwhile, Costner and Baumgartner had been married for nearly two decades before the latter filed for divorce last year, citing "irreconcilable differences”.

Costner's representative shared in a statement, as per PEOPLE, “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.”

“We ask that his, Christine's, and their children's privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time,” they added.

Also, a source revealed at the time, “It was not anything that [Costner] wanted or sought, and if he could change the situation, he would.”
