Kevin Costner’s wife, Christine Baumgartner, files for divorce after 18 years of marriage
LA TimesKevin Costner, with his wife, Christine Baumgartner in 2015. Baumgartner and Costner reportedly met on a golf course in the 1980s when Costner was rehearsing for his role in the 1996 film “Tin Cup.” The actor was married to his first wife at the time and didn’t start dating Baumgartner until 1999. The couple split briefly in 2003 — Baumgartner wanted to have children and Costner wasn’t sure he should have more — but the two ultimately worked it out, tied the knot in Aspen, Colo., in 2004, and welcomed three children over the next several years. Costner’s response, filed by divorce attorney to the stars Laura Wasser, says, “Spousal support to be payable to petitioner pursuant to the terms of the parties’ Premarital Agreement.” Which basically means: A prenuptial agreement was signed.
