It's official, folks! Hollywood legend Kevin Costner, 69, is flying solo once more, having emerged victorious from a bitter divorce battle with ex-wife Christine Baumgartner, 49. TMZ has the scoop that the dust has finally settled, with both parties signing off on the court documents to seal the deal.
Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner were married for 19 years; the couple separated last year.
The split came as a shocker in May 2023, after 19 years of marriage, spiraling into a no-holds-barred showdown. The tug-of-war involved a hefty prenup, alimony for their trio of kids—Cayden Wyatt, 16, Hayes Logan, 14, and Grace Avery, 13—and Costner's sizable fortune.

The fight saw jaw-dropping demands and offers thrown across the battlefield, but a startling compromise was reached by fall. From a staggering demand of almost $250,000 a month, Baumgartner had to settle for a modest sum of just under $65,000. Yet, both parents are set to keep sharing the kids' custody.
Insiders whispered that Costner had the upper hand in court, with a pal of Baumgartner spilling to the Daily Mail that pushing her luck could have meant losing it all.
TMZ reports that the judge has given the thumbs up to Costner's prenup, a significant plot point in the divorce saga.
But wait, there's more! The “Yellowstone” icon isn't nursing his wounds alone; rumor has it he's struck up a romance with music sensation Jewel, 49. With over 30 million records to her name, it looks like Costner's not just winning in court but in love too, snagging a chart-topping beauty as his latest companion.
