Christine Baumgartner Marries Joshua Connor After Kevin Costner Divorce

Christine Baumgartner, the former wife of actor Kevin Costner, has married family friend Joshua Connor just over six months after finalizing her divorce. The couple exchanged vows on October 18, 2024, at the picturesque Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard located in Santa Barbara, California.

The intimate outdoor ceremony was attended by approximately 100 guests, including family and close friends. Baumgartner and Costner share three children, while Connor has three children from a previous marriage. One attendee described the event to People magazine, stating, “It was magical – truly. The setting was gorgeous, but what made it special was the intimacy of it all.”

Guests reported that the couple radiated joy throughout the celebration, which began with a welcome event the night before. “Christine and Josh were glowing,” another guest remarked. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd during the ceremony.”

Rumors of a romantic relationship between Baumgartner and Connor began in July 2023, when they were seen together in Hawaii. Their relationship was confirmed shortly after Baumgartner finalized her divorce from Costner. The divorce process began when Baumgartner filed for separation on May 1, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences, with April 11 noted as the date of separation.

The divorce between Costner and Baumgartner was finalized in February 2024, following a legal dispute over child support and the terms of their prenuptial agreement. Ultimately, the former couple reached an agreement for shared legal and physical custody of their children, allowing them to co-parent effectively.

While Baumgartner has embarked on a new chapter with Connor, Costner has been busy promoting his latest project, the film ‘Horizon’, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. The actor has been open about his emotional journey following the end of his marriage and shared his feelings during the film’s debut.

As Baumgartner and Connor begin their life together, the couple seems to be embracing their fresh start, surrounded by the love and support of their families.
