Christine Baumgartner Marries Josh Connor Following Divorce from Kevin Costner
Christine Baumgartner, ex-wife of actor Kevin Costner, has married financier Josh Connor in a private ceremony held today, October 19, 2025.
The couple exchanged vows Saturday at Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard estate in Santa Barbara County, California, before a gathering of over 100 family and friends. The outdoor ceremony took place just before sunset, according to sources with direct knowledge of the event. This marriage marks a new chapter for Baumgartner following a highly publicized divorce settlement earlier this year.
Baumgartner and Connor, who were longtime friends before becoming romantically involved, are reportedly focused on building a life centered around family, friends, and a quieter existence. Beyond her personal life, Baumgartner has dedicated increasing time to philanthropic endeavors, particularly supporting the OmniPeace Foundation, a nonprofit providing music education to underserved children. She recently spearheaded the creation of a fully equipped music space in Long Beach, California, designed to foster creativity and learning.
The marriage follows the finalization of Baumgartner’s divorce from Costner after 18 years of marriage, a case that drew significant media attention due to disputes over child support and living arrangements. Details regarding future plans for the couple were not immediately available.
