In the midst of her highly-publicized divorce from actor Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner, 49, has revealed her future plans, demonstrating her determination to chart a new course for herself. Following a recent court ruling that stipulated Costner would pay less than half of the amount of monthly child support she had requested, Baumgartner expressed her intention to explore necessary steps, such as further education, and reenter the workforce to support herself moving forward, as reported by People.
This ruling, deemed a victory for Costner at 68, mandated him to make monthly payments of $129,755 to Baumgartner, a former handbag designer, for the care of their three children – Cayden (16), Hayes (14), and Grace (13) – in July. However, prior legal documents suggest that Baumgartner claimed this six-figure sum would still be “insufficient” and lead to a disparity in the children’s lifestyles when living with each parent. During the court proceedings, Baumgartner argued that Costner should contribute more in child support, emphasizing that a luxurious lifestyle had become ingrained in their family’s identity. She referred to their family home as a “community” where endless possibilities were born, People reported.
This summer, Costner’s tumultuous divorce has been played out in the public eye, as tensions rise between the couple. The Post has reached out to representatives of both Costner and Baumgartner for comment. Meanwhile, Baumgartner is reported to be embarking on the next phase of her life in a high-end rental property worth $40,000 a month in Montecito, California. Conversely, Costner, an Oscar-winner, candidly admitted in court that his world has been shaken up by these circumstances. The 68-year-old actor expressed his desire to fulfill existing obligations and take care of his responsibilities, while also recognizing the need to spend more time with his children during this difficult period. Costner plans to reflect on his options and strike a balance between his obligations and personal aspirations.
