Actor Kevin Costner, known as one of the most expensive divorce payers in history, is divorcing again. This time, although he had a prenuptial agreement, he is being demanded by his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner for a large amount of child support.
Kevin Costner’s divorce is bogged down.
Kevin Costner, known for the movie “The Bodyguard” and the drama series “Yellowstone,” met bag designer Christine Baumgartner at a golf course where they were rehearsing for the movie “Tin Cup,” and although they broke up once, they married in 2004.
Kevin and Christine later had three children, Kayden, Hayes, and Grace, and the whole family attended the premiere of “The Art of Racing in the Rain” in 2019, which made headlines.
However, Kevin and Christine revealed that they had filed for divorce in May 2023, and they are about to go through a muddled divorce.
They are seeking 8,000 per month in child support.
This is Kevin’s second divorce. Before marrying Christine, he was married to a woman named Cindy Silva, a classmate at California State University, Fullerton, with whom he had three children. However, they divorced in 1994. Kevin, who was already a very successful Academy Award-winning actor at the time, paid his wife $80 million (about 23 billion yen in today’s money) in alimony for the divorce, which is still talked about today as one of the highest alimony payments in history.
Because of this experience, he and his second wife, Christine, signed a prenuptial agreement well before their marriage.
Because of the rules we agreed upon when we got married, the divorce should go smoothly… But that was not the case at all.
Although the arrangement that Kevin and Christine made in the prenuptial agreement clearly stated that upon filing for divorce, Christine must vacate the house he owns within 30 days, Christine has yet to leave. Kevin has asked the court to evict her because she is still staying in the house, even though she has agreed to pay $30,000 (approximately 4.25 million yen) in rent each month and $10,000 (approximately 1.41 million yen) in advance for moving expenses, TMZ reported.
In addition, he paid $1.2 million as alimony as per the prenuptial agreement, but the final alimony Kevin paid out is said to have increased to $1.45 million.
In addition, as for the child support for the three children, he has already paid 100% and has submitted a legal document stating that he is willing to pay an additional $38,000 per month, but Christine’s demands have escalated.
To his surprise, Christine demanded that Kevin pay $248,000 per month in child support for the children. According to TMZ, Christine claims that Kevin’s vast fortune is more than enough to cover this demand.
Originally, this divorce was all on Christine’s side, and a family source told People that it was an “unpleasant surprise” for Kevin and that “this is not what Kevin wanted.
