“Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner’s Ex, Marries Their Former Neighbor Josh Connor”
Sure! Here’s a rewritten version of your text, keeping the original meaning and key details but with refreshed phrasing and improved flow:
Christine Baumgartner is officially a married woman again, having tied the knot with longtime friend and former neighbor Josh Connor on October 18, 2025. The couple said “I do” at the picturesque Santa Ynez Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, surrounded by just over 100 guests. The celebration began with a welcome party on October 17, followed by an intimate and heartfelt ceremony the next day.
Baumgartner, who finalized her divorce from actor Kevin Costner in February 2024, filed for divorce in May 2023 after 19 years of marriage. The two had been together since 2000 and married in 2004, sharing three children: sons born in 2007 and 2009, and a daughter born in 2010.
Romance rumors between Baumgartner and Connor first surfaced in July 2023, when they were spotted vacationing together in Hawaii. Although they initially kept their relationship private, their romance was confirmed later in 2024. A source close to the couple shared, “Christine and Josh’s relationship began as a close friendship, which gave them a solid foundation. They share the same core values, and Christine feels deeply supported and happy with him.”
For the wedding, Baumgartner wore a strapless gown by Mira Zwillinger for the ceremony, later changing into a sleek satin Lihi Hod dress for the reception. Guests described the event as “magical,” noting the emotional and authentic nature of the day. “The setting was stunning, but what made it truly special was how personal and genuine it felt,” one attendee said. “It wasn’t flashy or over-the-top—just full of love.”
Another guest added, “Christine and Josh were absolutely glowing. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house during the vows.”
Meanwhile, Kevin Costner has also moved forward in his personal life. Just two months before Baumgartner’s wedding, he was reported to be “casually dating” director Kelly Noonan Gores. A source noted, “It’s nothing serious at the moment. She finds Kevin fascinating and truly enjoys spending time with him.”
