'They’re together': Kevin Costner's ex-wife Christine Baumgartner dating her financier friend after denying rumors earlier
MONTECITO, CALIFORNIA: The former wife of Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner, is seemingly in love again after she was spotted multiple times with her apparent new beau, Josh Connor.
The 49-year-old man is reportedly a financier and also a divorced man, who shares three children with his former wife, Patricia.
Christine Baumgartner earlier denied dating Josh Connor
Daily Mail reported that Christine Baumgartner has previously dismissed dating rumors with Connor but on Friday morning, January 12, she was spotted dropping him off at his residence in Montecito, which is just a few minutes away from Costner's ex’s house.
The alleged new couple also went on a holiday to Hawaii together during Christmas time.
Not only that, the two went to Hawaii in July 2023 also. The 'Yellowstone' star's ex-wife even reportedly took a $20,000 loan from her apparent new boyfriend.
But during an evidentiary hearing in Santa Barbara in August as part of Costner and Baumgartner’s divorce process, the 49-year-old refuted being in a romantic relationship with Connor.
The former couple’s divorce was finalized in September last year.
Christine Baumgartner and Josh Connor met through their daughters
According to tipsters, Baumgartner and Connor have been dating for quite some time after reportedly meeting via their 13-year-old daughters, who are pals.
A source spilled, “They’re together and they have been for a while. They spent time before Christmas together in Hawaii while Kevin was presumably in Aspen with the kids.”
“They also made a trip to New York together. She hasn’t been doing much to hide what’s going on from her friends,” they added.

Besides, another insider spoke about their last July vacation as they reportedly shared, “She sat with the guy at a corner table. He was handsome.”
The source continued, “She was showing him photos from her phone, and he moved to the seat next to her so they were both facing the water."
“It’s hard to say if there was anything going on with them, but he did put his hand on her leg at one point that I saw. That was the only actual physical interaction.”
“Her suite is right next to the guy’s suite. He had the drinks charged to his room and they left together right before sunset,” the source asserted.
