Christine Baumgartner, the former wife of actor Kevin Costner, has tied the knot with Josh Connor, a friend and former neighbor of Kevin, in an intimate ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. The wedding, held at a 100-acre vineyard, was attended by about 100 guests, including Christine’s three children with Kevin.
The event was described as magical and intimate by a wedding guest, emphasizing the authenticity and heartfelt nature of the celebration. Christine, who wore a wedding gown by Mira Zwillinger, changed into a Lihi Hod dress for the reception to dance the night away.
The couple’s engagement in January led to a surprise proposal by Josh on a Santa Barbara beach, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their relationship. Their friendship, built over years of being neighbors and close friends with Kevin, laid a strong foundation for their love.
Christine’s marriage to Josh comes after her divorce from Kevin in February 2024, following 18 years of marriage. Their legal proceedings included disputes over financial matters, with Christine denying allegations of extramarital relationships during the divorce proceedings.
Despite the past, Christine’s focus is now on her new life with Josh, while Kevin reportedly enjoys casual dating with filmmaker and actress Kelly Noonan Gores. The couple’s journey from friendship to marriage reflects a new beginning filled with love and support, setting the stage for a bright future ahead.
