Christine Baumgartner Marries Josh Conner

Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner’s ex-wife, has tied the knot once more, this time with financier Josh Conner.

At 51, Baumgartner recently married Conner, a friend of the “Yellowstone” actor, during a ceremony on Saturday at the Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard located in Santa Barbara, California.

The nuptials were held outdoors just before sunset, with around 100 close family members and friends in attendance, including Baumgartner and Conner’s children.

Baumgartner sported a custom gown by Mila Zwillinger featuring hand-embroidered flowers and a sweetheart neckline. Later, she switched to a white satin strapless dress from Lich Hod for the reception.

Conner opted for a classic black tuxedo for the occasion.

Guests described the wedding as “truly magical,” highlighting the beauty of the setting and the intimate atmosphere. One attendee remarked that it felt genuine and heartfelt, noting that, “everyone there felt like they were witnessing something truly priceless.”

Another guest shared that the joy and laughter permeated the event from the welcome celebration on Friday to the final dance on Saturday. They praised the couple’s radiant happiness, mentioning that there wasn’t a dry eye during the ceremony.

Baumgartner and Conner became engaged in January while strolling on a beach in Santa Barbara.

According to a close friend, they are incredibly happy and enthusiastic about their future together.

Interestingly, Conner was neighbors with Baumgartner and Costner during their marriage, which ended amid a contentious divorce. Baumgartner filed for divorce from Costner in May 2023 after nearly two decades together, establishing their separation date as April 11 of that year.

Baumgartner was first seen with Conner in July 2023, during a family trip to Hawaii with Costner’s children: Kayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15.

During a child support hearing in August 2023, Baumgartner’s attorney claimed their relationship was purely platonic. However, a few months later, they were spotted holding hands, and it became public that they were dating.

Costner finalized his divorce from Baumgartner in February 2024 but has yet to publicly comment on the situation regarding his ex-wife and her new partner.

Insiders suggested last year that Costner had suspicions about the romance between Baumgartner and Conner before it became public knowledge, claiming that Conner has provided significant support to Baumgartner throughout her divorce.
