Despite having a great acting career, Costner’s private life has unintentionally drawn attention due to his ongoing divorce from Christine Baumgartner. The two were married for 18 years and share three kids. Their marriage took a turn as Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. While the ongoing divorce between Kevin Costner and his ex-wife experienced a little pause from the news cycle, it appears to be heating back up as the handbag designer demands more money from the Yellowstone star for child support.
Kevin Costner’s divorce from Christine Baumgartner takes a dark turn
Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner’s divorce has taken a dramatic turn. The model filed for divorce from the Costner, citing irreconcilable differences as the basis for their split. Since then, the Oscar winner has been in a custody and living arrangement dispute with his ex-wife. He was ordered to provide $129k in child support to the handbag designer each month. However, Baumgartner filed divorce papers asking the judge to reconsider the amount of money Costner was ordered to pay as child support.
The model demands more money from the 68-year-old so their children can have the same level of comfort with her as they do with him. Baumgartner is seeking to raise the child support payments from $129K/month to $175K/month. The source provided the justification for the increased finance saying,
“So that the children can go on comparable vacations when they are with her. This is true even if the child support payments also improve Christine’s lifestyle.”
Kevin Costner’s ex-wife is shifting to a rental located in Montecit in September, which will set her back upwards of $40,000 each month. It is not a coincidence that her latest request for the Let Him Go actor to boost the child support payments by $46,000 each month has nothing to do with her new rental place. The former couple tied the knot in September 2004 and after 18 years of marriage, decided to split up in May 2023.
