Kevin Costner endured a bitter divorce from handbag designer Christine Baumgartner after nearly two decades of marriage. In May 2023, Baumgartner filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Their legal battle dragged on for months and ended in February 2024.
The Yellowstone star was ordered to pay $63,209 a month in child support for their three children—Cayden, 18, Hayes, 16, and Grace, 15. He described the split as “a crushing moment,” but told CBS Mornings he had to stay strong for his kids:
“I can’t wilt like a daisy. I have to go forward.”
A New Chapter
Now, insiders say Costner has moved on with filmmaker Kelly Noonan Gores, 46, the ex-wife of billionaire Alec Gores. The pair were recently spotted together at the JAS Labor Day Experience festival in Aspen, fueling speculation about their romance.
According to sources, Kelly is “exactly his type.” She shares his love for the outdoors, sports, surfing, and long walks with dogs. Both also have young children, something Costner reportedly finds endearing.
