Kevin Costner is one of the most cherished actors, directors, and producers in the Hollywood industry, with tons of experience both on and off-screen. The actor debuted in the industry in his mid-twenties and rose to prominence quickly with movies like The Untouchables, Bull Durham, and many others. Apart from acting, Costner is also well-versed in the field of music and founded a rock band.
While Kevin Costner might have won the hearts of many with his eccentric and versatile acting, for which he was also awarded several awards and accolades, he just couldn’t keep winning the heart of his wife. As it turns out currently, even after their divorce, she is running the Yellowstone actor dry
Kevin Costner Files a Lawsuit Against His Costly Ex-Wife
Kevin Costner is a very fine actor and throughout his days in the industry, he has given a number of quality performances. During his childhood days, although he was not very academically inclined, he had a drive toward extracurricular activities like sports, singing, and other stuff. He stepped foot in the industry a bit lit if compared to others, but he rose to the upper echelons very quickly, winning countless awards and accolades.
Costner was determined to pursue acting when he was returning from a honeymoon with his then-wife Christine Baumgartner, and it was her wife who pushed him to do so. Hollywood relations are not a bit easy to maintain as the industry is a place where people easily make relations with others or break them without a second thought. It was the same for Costner as he has been having some trouble with his divorced wife, Baumgartner.
“Christine Baumgartner has shown a disturbing propensity in the last several months, both before and after separation, to take Kevin’s property without his knowledge or consent, especially since this case was filed.”
Kevin Costner has filed a complaint against his ex-wife claiming that she kept on taking his property, especially money from his credit cards without his knowledge or permission. Moreover, his lawyer claim that she had planned for the divorce months before bringing it up and had planned accordingly, buying expensive stuff, even a brand-new vehicle. Even though the actor has already paid a lump sum of $1.5 million to the lady, it looks like she is waiting for some more.
The Couple’s Divorce Caught the Public’s Attention
Hollywood’s culture is frequently characterized by its fair share of tumultuous marriages and quicksand loves. The divorce of well-known actor Kevin Costner and his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner was one such recent event that piqued the public’s curiosity. It was discovered throughout the divorce procedures that Costner had a great desire to reconcile with his estranged wife before things seemed hopeless. But things just did not go that way.
According to court documents, Christine Baumgartner’s attorney, and Laura Wasser, Kevin Costner‘s attorney, were unable to arrange their compromisations and as a result, their marriage fell apart. According to sources, Baumgartner just agreed to leave the actor’s estate outside of Santa Barbara, California, in exchange for his agreement to pay the court-ordered support that has not yet been set.
