“Kevin Costner Set to Release Diss Track Aimed at Ex-Wife Christine Baumgartner, Sources Say”
The road to Hollywood is often marked by shattered dreams and heartbreak, a reality even the most successful stars can’t escape. Kevin Costner, known for his role in Yellowstone, exemplifies this truth as he navigates the aftermath of a challenging love life. After what he thought was a fairytale romance, Costner is struggling to move on from his marriage to Christine Baumgartner.
Costner and Baumgartner were together for nearly two decades before she filed for divorce in 2023, a move that caught him off guard. Just two months later, their divorce was finalized, with Baumgartner seeking $248,000 per month in child support. Costner contested this amount, ultimately agreeing to pay $63,000. Following this tumultuous split, Costner turned to his creative passions, completing his film Horizon: An American Saga. However, according to Life & Style magazine, he’s channeling his emotional turmoil into music.
An insider revealed to Life & Style:
“He’s got quite a musical following, and people will be interested to know his heart hasn’t healed. He’s got a ton of built-up angst to release. This is his chance to let off some steam and share his thoughts without coming across as a total jerk.”
For now, it seems Costner is trading in his cowboy hat for a microphone and a whiskey bottle, using his musical talents to process his heartache. This new project could be the beginning of his healing journey, perhaps leading to a heartfelt track that resonates in jazz clubs and bars.
Meanwhile, the quick divorce proceedings left Costner feeling blindsided. As he grappled with the loss of his family, Baumgartner appeared to have moved on with Josh Connor, Costner’s former neighbor and best friend, further deepening his sense of betrayal.
An insider shared:
“Kevin never wanted the divorce, but that’s the hand he was dealt. Seeing his ex prepare to marry his old friend, along with his breakup with Jewel, has left him feeling bruised.”
This dual betrayal has affected not only his emotional state but also his romantic prospects, as his relationship with singer-songwriter Jewel fell apart. Now, Costner is left seeking closure, and perhaps this diss track will help him find it.
