Hey there! Let's dive into a juicy bit of Hollywood drama. Remember that old saying, "All's well that ends well?" Not so much in the case of Kevin Costner (70) and his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner (51). Despite their divorce in 2023, it seems the animosity still lingers.
recently attended their son Cayden's graduation in Santa Barbara. The kids sure grow up fast, huh? But where was the happily ever after? Nope, substitute that with a chilly vibe that could freeze an ice cube. Apparently, both Costner and Baumgartner kept their distance, staying far from each other on the school grounds. Awwkward!
Now, you might be wondering how much this cold shoulder costsola. Well, according to TMZ, ol' Kevin had to fork over a lump sum of $1 million as part of their divorce settlement, and to top it off, he's dishing out $63,000 a month for child support for their princes and princesses. Again, kids grow up fast, but those bills don't!
This breakup tale started back in May 2023, when Baumgartner, Costner's partner since 2004, filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." Kevin himself described the split as a "devastating moment" that left him reeling like a clownfish in a tsunami.
Costner: Still Dancing on the Silver Screen
While Kevin's love life might be catching more heat than a summer barbecue, his career's burning brighter than ever! In a recent chat with People, the man himself revealed he's not even considering retirement. "Never seen that exit sign," he said, adding, "I move on to the next project that rocks my world."
So, no plans to ditch the dancing shoes and stroll off into the sunset anytime soon. Instead, he's busy ticking off items from his personal "To Do" list - though he's not calling it a "bucket list." Ambitious guy, ain't he?
