Christine Baumgartner has remarried, two years after her divorce from actor Kevin Costner. On Saturday, she exchanged vows with financier Josh Connor at the picturesque Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard in Santa Barbara, California. The intimate ceremony was attended by over 100 guests, including Baumgartner and Costner’s three children.
The couple’s relationship has been under public scrutiny since they were first spotted together in July 2023 during a trip to Hawaii. While Baumgartner testified in August 2023 during her divorce proceedings that she and Connor were merely friends, their romantic involvement appears to have blossomed shortly thereafter.
Baumgartner and Connor’s wedding marks a new chapter in her life following a high-profile and tumultuous split from Costner. The divorce, which attracted extensive media attention, was characterized by allegations and emotional testimonies concerning their marriage. Despite the challenges, Baumgartner has found happiness again with Connor, who is not only a friend but also a former neighbor of the couple during their time together.
In the months leading up to their wedding, Baumgartner and Connor were often seen enjoying each other’s company, signaling a significant shift in Baumgartner’s personal life. Reports suggest that Connor has ambitions in the entertainment industry, potentially shopping around a television series inspired by his newfound interests.
The ceremony, described by attendees as “magical,” reflects Baumgartner’s journey toward a fresh start. As the couple begins their life together, they are hopeful for a future filled with joy and companionship, away from the public eye that has closely followed Baumgartner’s previous relationship.
This new union not only symbolizes personal growth for Baumgartner but also represents a return to happiness after a difficult period. The support of family and friends during the wedding underscores the importance of community in navigating life’s transitions.
