Kevin Costner’s Friends Are Reportedly Concerned About His Ex-Wife’s Motives After This Relationship Update

After finalizing their messy divorce in September, Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner‘s back and forth is reportedly not over yet — much to the dismay of their friends. According a source, Costner and Baumgartner, who were married for 18 years before she filed for divorce in May, are back on good terms after battling it out in court over their prenup and child support for their three children. “Christine is seeing the positive side of being friendly with Kevin again since she walked away with much less than she bargained for,” a source told the National Enquirer, as reported by Radar Online. “They’re being cordial, which is a relief to Kevin. Even after all this bad blood, he still has a sweet spot for her.” “But the feeling is Christine’s using that to her advantage — getting him to drop his guard in the hopes he’ll give her more money,” the source continued.Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner David Longendyke/Everett Collection. According to the outlet, Baumgartner’s repeated attempts to get more money in the divorce have left pals with a sour taste in their mouths. In the end, Baumgartner and Costner’s divorce was honored and she received a $1.5 million payout and Costner was ordered to pay $63,000 a month for their kids Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13.
