The divorce between Kevin Costner and his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, has been challenging. After many years of marriage, the couple recently separated, with Baumgartner filing for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Although the news came as a surprise to Costner, it was not entirely unexpected.
Baumgartner had been living in the family home that she and Costner shared throughout their marriage, even after the divorce announcement. However, recent events suggest that she has now officially moved out. Witnesses spotted a U-Haul truck outside the house, and boxes containing Baumgartner’s belongings were visible. It seems that she is following legal advice and relocating to a smaller house on the same property.
The new house was previously used as staff quarters, but Baumgartner will make it her temporary residence while she searches for a more permanent home in the neighborhood. The decision to stay nearby is driven by her desire to maintain stability for their children and avoid any disruptions.
Meanwhile, Costner has been enjoying a vacation with his three kids at his luxurious $250,000 per week estate in Aspen, Colorado. The lavish property, featured in YouTube videos showcasing its breathtaking views and amenities, includes six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and ample patio space where Costner and Baumgartner tied the knot. The estate can accommodate a total of thirty-six people across its three separate houses.
Despite the challenges of their divorce, Costner continues to support Baumgartner by providing $129,000 per month in child support. While he enjoys his Aspen retreat, he remains committed to his kids’ well-being.
The divorce settlement negotiations between Costner and Baumgartner also involve dividing their extensive property portfolio, which includes homes in Santa Barbara and Aspen, along with a restaurant in South Dakota and a condo in Los Angeles.
As this chapter in their lives unfolds, both Costner and Baumgartner are navigating the changes with the best interests of their family in mind.
