Kevin Costner’s ex-wife Christine Baumgartner officially has moved on from the “Yellowstone” alum following their contentious divorce.
The handbag designer is dating financier Josh Connor, who was a neighbor and friend to the former couple, according to People.
“Josh was initially just a friend,” a friend of Baumgartner told the publication.
“[Christine] likes hanging out with him. He is a divorced dad and understands what she’s been going through.”
Baumgartner, 49, and Connor have bonded over “the ocean and beach life.”
“It’s something that makes Christine happy,” the pal added.
A rep for the former model didn’t immediately return Pvnew’s request for comment.
In July, Connor and Baumgartner vacationed together in Hawaii as she and Costner were embroiled in their bitter divorce proceedings.
Photos of the pair showed them going for a stroll along the beach, but a source denied the two were involved romantically.
“They have been good friends for years,” an insider shared.
about a month later, the “Bodyguard” star, 68, claimed in court that Baumgartner’s “new boyfriend” gave her $20,000 in cash, and alleged he shouldn’t have to pay her more than $129,000 per month in child support given her financial infusion.
However, Baumgartner and her attorney denied she was dating Connor when she took the stand.
Costner and Baumgartner, who share three kids, finally settled their divorce in September. Although the details of the agreement remained sealed, sources said she’d walk away with more money than their prenup initially stated.
“Kevin and Christine Costner have come to an amicable and mutually agreed upon resolution of all issues pertaining to their divorce proceedings,” the exes shared in a joint statement to Pvnew.
The “Field of Dreams” star reportedly since has started dating singer Jewel.
