Kevin Costner accuses his ex-wife of robbing him

Kevin Costner accused his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner of robbing him of many expensive items purchased before calling it quits.

The Yellowstone star claimed that his ex-wife bought personal items and took out a lot of cash with credit cards. He believes she made up this plan before she filed for divorce in May.

In court docs obtained by Page Six, Costner, 68, said that the mother of his three kids “shows a disturbing propensity in the last several months, both before and after separation, to take [Kevin’s] property without his knowledge or consent, especially since this case was filed.”

The docs filed on Thursday alleged that the handbag designer, 49, paid a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer $25,000 from her husband’s separate property funds without letting him know. She does not have an explanation for the large expense.

The docs also claim that Baumgartner paid her divorce lawyer, Susan Wiesner, “on the credit card of an employee which is traditionally used for Costner family house charges and paid by [Kevin].”

Costner’s lawyers accused Christine of buying an expensive vehicle months before their separation. It was shocking for Costner because they always leased their cars.

The pair signed their prenup in 2004 which revealed that Christine is allowed to take her personal vehicle with her even if they separated.

The Golden Globe winner’s legal team noted that Christine’s car purchase is proof that she “had been planning her exit long before she told [Kevin] in April 2023.”

They also alleged in the new doc that Christine refused to sign an agreement stating that she would not ransack their home before leaving it.

Costner to pay Christine more than $129k for child support

The Bodyguard star’s new court filing comes after a judge announced that Costner has to pay his ex-wife $129, 755 per month in child support, more than what he offered.

Apart from that, the judge also ordered Costner to pay $200,000 in attorney’s fees and $ 100,000 in forensic costs.

However, the estranged couple is equally responsible to pay 50 percent of their kids’ health care expenses, sports, and extracurricular activities.

Since their divorce filing, Christine and the father of seven are having a messy battle over their prenuptial agreement.

The Hidden Figures star had been trying his best to get her to vacate their shared home for weeks under their premarital agreement. It stated that she would have to leave their Santa Barbara house within 30 days if a separation ever happened.

While Christine argued that he had no legal basis to kick her out, a judge ordered her to vacate the home by July 31.
