Christine Baumgartner, ex-wife of Hollywood actor Kevin Costner, has tied the knot with the actor’s former friend and neighbor, financier Josh Connor. The couple exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony held at a Santa Ynez ranch in Santa Barbara, according to Daily Mail.
“It was magical—truly,” one guest told People. “The setting was gorgeous, but what made it special was the intimacy. This wasn’t a big production; it felt authentic and heartfelt. Everyone there felt like they were witnessing something truly special.”
Another attendee described the weekend as filled with “joy and laughter,” from the welcome celebration on Friday night to the last dance on Saturday evening. “Christine and Josh were glowing,” the guest added. “There wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd during the ceremony.”
Friends of the newlyweds said they’re focused on “building an authentic, joy-filled life together.” One close friend shared, “They’re embracing the peace of this new beginning—focusing on the everyday moments that matter most.”
The couple became engaged on January 26 during an intimate dinner in Santa Barbara. “It was about to rain, so almost no one else was on the beach when Josh got down on one knee,” a source told People. Their loved ones weren’t surprised by the proposal, with the source adding, “They spent Christmas together last month, where it all began. They’re over the moon and excited for their future.”

Baumgartner, 50, and Connor, 49, were first spotted together in Hawaii in July last year. Connor, also divorced, is a father of three. Baumgartner began dating him shortly after finalizing her divorce from Costner in 2023, following 19 years of marriage.
