Christine Baumgartner'S New Chapter: Weds Financier Josh Connor In Intimate Ceremony - BABEOfficial 2025

A New Beginning for Christine Baumgartner

Christine Baumgartner, renowned former model and handbag designer, has stepped into a new chapter of her life. The ex-wife of Hollywood star Kevin Costner recently said "I do" to financier Josh Connor in an intimate ceremony held in the picturesque setting of Santa Barbara. The wedding, a cozy affair with 100 guests, was a celebration of love and new beginnings.

Details of the Lavish Ceremony

The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, October 18, at the exclusive Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard nestled in the heart of Southern California. Baumgartner, radiating elegance, wore a custom Mira Zwillinger gown, while Connor looked dashing in a custom-tailored black tuxedo. Their children, along with close family and friends, joined them in marking this special day.

"It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage," shared Costner's representative, Arnold Robinson, during their high-profile split.

From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After

Baumgartner's journey to happiness has not been without its challenges. Her split from Kevin Costner, finalized in February 2024, was a public spectacle. The couple, who had been together since 1998 and married in 2004, announced their separation in May 2023. A heated court battle over child support ensued, with Baumgartner initially requesting $175,057, though the final order was set at $63,209 monthly.

Despite the past hurdles, Baumgartner and Connor's love story blossomed. The couple, who began their romance in July 2023, got engaged after a romantic beach proposal in January. Now, as they embark on their new journey together, they do so with the support of their blended family, including Baumgartner's three children with Costner, and Connor's three children from his previous marriage.

A Family Affair

This wedding marks a fresh start not only for Christine and Josh but for their entire family. The couple’s children played a significant role in the celebration, symbolizing the unity and love that bind them together. As Baumgartner and Connor look to the future, they do so with optimism and joy, ready to embrace whatever comes their way.
