Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner’s Ex-Wife, Marries New Love

Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner’s Ex-Wife, Remarries in Intimate Vineyard Ceremony

Christine Baumgartner has found love again. The 51-year-old handbag designer and former wife of Kevin Costner tied the knot with Joshua Connor on Saturday, October 18, in a romantic ceremony held at Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard in Santa Barbara, California.

Baumgartner looked stunning in a strapless gown by Mira Zwillinger, featuring a delicate floral lace overlay and a subtle train that flowed elegantly behind her. The dress also showcased an open-back design, adding a modern twist to the timeless look. Connor complemented her style in a classic tuxedo, with his hair slicked back as he joined her at the altar before a gathering of nearly 100 guests.

Following their vows, the bride changed into a second gown for the reception—a glamorous strapless Lihi Hod dress with a daring leg slit, channeling vintage Hollywood charm.

The couple got engaged in January, marking a new chapter in their lives two years after beginning their relationship. At the time of their early courtship, Baumgartner was in the process of finalizing her divorce from actor Kevin Costner, 70. She filed for divorce in May 2023, ending their 18-year marriage. The split was finalized in February 2024. The former couple shares three children: Cayden Wyatt, Hayes Logan, and Grace Avery—all of whom were present to witness their mother’s new beginning.

Connor, who also shares three children—Lily, Abigail, and John—with his ex-wife Patricia, had his kids in attendance as well, making the event a heartfelt union of two families.

“The energy was pure joy from start to finish,” a source shared. “Christine and Josh were beaming all weekend. There wasn’t a dry eye during the ceremony—it was a truly emotional and beautiful moment.”
