It looks like Christine Baumgartner has found love again!
The handbag designer seemingly moves on from her ex-husband Kevin Costner following their contentious divorce.
According to People, Christine is dating financier Josh Connor, who was a neighbor and friend of the former couple.
A close friend of Baumgartner told the outlet, “Josh was initially just a friend,”
He added,
“[Christine] likes hanging out with him. He is a divorced dad and understands what she’s been going through.”
Christine, 49, and Connor have bonded over “the ocean and beach life.” The friend added, “It’s something that makes Christine happy,”
In July, Christine and Connor enjoyed a mini-vacation in Hawaii. It was around the same time when she and the Yellowstone star were embroiled in their nasty divorce proceedings.
There were photos of the duo going for a stroll along the beach but sources denied that there was anything romantic between the two.
The insider shared,
“They have been good friends for years,”
Just a month later, the Bodyguard star, 68, claimed in court that his then-estranged wife’s new beau gave her $20,000 in cash. He alleged that he shouldn’t have to pay his ex-wife more than $129,000 monthly in child support given her financial claims.
At the time, Baumgartner and her attorney denied that she and Connor were dating.
Kevin and Christine share three kids and they settled their divorce in September.

The exes wrote in their joint statement,
“Kevin and Christine Costner have come to an amicable and mutually agreed upon resolution of all issues pertaining to their divorce proceedings,”
Costner has since moved on with singer Jewel after flirty photos of the duo made it to the internet.
The musician, 49, spoke into a microphone as Costner, 68, wrapped his arms around her waist with a smile.
Sources also revealed last month that their romance is rather new.
The new couple were in the British Virgin Islands for a week last month as part of a tennis fundraiser for the Grammy winner’s Inspiring Children Foundation.
A source revealed,
“There was definitely something going on,”
“They were flirty. And when they were together, it was like they both just lit up.”
Another added,
“You could tell they were trying to be discreet, but anybody who saw them could tell something was going on.”
