Christine Baumgartner’s Mixed Emotions as Kevin Costner Moves on with Jewel Post-Divorce

In the aftermath of their recent and acrimonious divorce, Kevin Costner’s ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, shares her candid sentiments about the swift entry of the Yellowstone actor into the dating world.

The revelation that Costner, 68, is romantically involved with singer Jewel, 49, emerged just three months after the finalization of his divorce from Baumgartner.

Mixed Feelings Unveiled:

Baumgartner acknowledges that witnessing her former husband in a new relationship is a “bittersweet” experience. In a conversation with a close friend, she expressed relief that Costner’s new partner, Jewel, appears to be a grounded and down-to-earth individual.

However, the visible display of affection in recent photos has left Baumgartner with conflicting emotions.

Relief in the Choice:

The friend revealed that Baumgartner is relieved that Costner isn’t involved with a “fame seeker” and appreciates Jewel’s seemingly genuine personality.

While expressing happiness for Costner, Baumgartner admits that seeing her ex with someone new is still a challenging experience.

Unexpected Connection:

Reflecting on the unexpected pairing of Costner and Jewel, Baumgartner remarked that she “never could have imagined” them together, but in retrospect, it makes sense. She notes their shared interests in music and the “cowboy thing,” suggesting a commonality that might have sparked the connection.

Concerns Alleviated:

Baumgartner, who shares three children with Costner, expressed concerns about the type of person who might enter their lives. She specifically didn’t want a “fame seeker” to play a maternal role. The friend shares that Jewel, being a mother herself and possessing her own life, alleviates those concerns for Baumgartner.

Luxurious Getaway:

Recent images surfaced showing Costner and Jewel on Richard Branson’s Necker Island, where they appeared cozy and flirty during a tennis fundraiser for Jewel’s foundation. The friend suggests there’s a visible connection between them, adding that Jewel’s son also accompanied them on the trip.

Past Legal Battles:

Costner and Baumgartner concluded a contentious divorce in September after 19 years of marriage.

The divorce proceedings unveiled details of their lavish spending, with Baumgartner emphasizing the disparity between her $40,000-a-month rental and the family mansion. The settlement likely aligns with a prior offer by Costner to provide $75,000-a-month in child support.
