Ex in the city!
Kevin Costner’s former wife is living large in New York City — with her boyfriend!
Christine Baumgartner, 50, looked vibrant and in love while walking arm in arm with Josh Connor, her boyfriend of a year who used to be her neighbor when she was married to the “Yellowstone” alum, 69.
The Post obtained exclusive photos of Baumgartner with Connor as the two arrived at “Top Chef” winner Harold Dieterle’s Il Totano in the West Village on Wednesday.
The couple smiled in the rain during their romantic night out.
Dressed in a black winter coat and navy slacks, Connor kept warm in a scarf and held onto an umbrella that he shared with Costner’s former flame.
Shielding her from the rain, the star’s ex-friend appeared confident and happy before indulging in Italian cuisine on the cold city night.
Baumgartner beamed, sporting all-black attire and a huge smile across her face.
A source tells The Post that the two are Christmas shopping for the kids during their time in NYC. The couple was in the city this time last year when they first started dating.
According to our insider, Baumgartner and Connor are “so in love,” adding she’s “beyond happy” to be in a committed and loving relationship with someone who shares her values.
The handbag designer filed for divorce from Costner in May 2023 after 18 years of marriage. She listed their date of separation as April 11 of that year.
Baumgartner was first spotted with Connor during a trip to Hawaii in July 2023, which included the kids she shares with Costner: Cayden, 17, Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14.
Months later, Costner’s then-estranged wife was photographed holding hands with the financier.
“Josh was initially just a friend,” an insider told People at the time, adding Baumgartner “likes hanging out with him.”
“He is a divorced dad and understands what she’s been going through. They both love the ocean and beach life. It’s something that makes Christine happy,” they shared.
After several months of back-and-forth negotiations, Costner and Baumgartner finalized their divorce earlier this year.
She wanted $160,000 a month in child support, claiming their kids’ “affluent lifestyle” was “in their DNA.” The judge disagreed and ordered Costner to pay his ex $63,209 in monthly child support.
While Costner has never addressed his former wife’s relationship with his ex-pal, insiders shared he “had strong suspicions that something was going on between Christine and Josh.”
She’s not the only one moving on.
Costner was previously linked to singer Jewel, 50, and recently sparked dating rumors with Sharon Stone after the pair was seen “getting flirty” at the Governors Awards on November 17.
