Overview

  • Kevin Costner and estranged wife Christine Baumgartner sat on opposite ends of the school field as they watched their son Cayden accept his diploma at his June 13 high school graduation.
  • The couple finalized their split in September 2023 after Christine contested the terms of their 2004 prenuptial agreement and a Santa Barbara court ordered Costner to pay $63,209 in monthly child support.
  • Baumgartner became engaged to financier Josh Connor in January 2025 following a private beach proposal in Santa Barbara.
  • Costner has been linked to several women since the divorce, including singer Jewel, though he insists they remain friends.
  • They continue to share parenting responsibilities for their three children—Cayden, Hayes and Grace—while Costner also fathers four older children from previous relationships.
