“Kevin had strong suspicions that something was going on between Christine and Josh,” an insider exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “Their close [bond] was a real elephant in the room.” Multiple outlets reported earlier this month that Baumgartner, 49, has moved on with Connor following her divorce from Costner, 69. Connor, a financier, was the former couple’s neighbor before their split last year. Baumgartner was spotted with Connor last summer before she finalized her divorce from Costner, but the insider tells Us that Baumgartner insists the pair’s relationship only turned romantic “relatively recently.”

Costner questioned whether Baumgartner was faithful after she requested documents relating to his finances. “Respondent has no responsive documents for ‘extramarital romantic relationships’ in which he engaged because he engaged in none,” read court documents obtained by Us in August 2023. Costner’s attorneys also noted that the actor “does not know for a fact if [Christine] engaged in any ‘extramarital romantic relationships’ before separation and, if so, whether she spent any of his money or charged any expenses in furtherance of her affair(s) on credit cards he paid.”

That same month, Baumgartner testified in court that she and Connor were just friends after they were photographed on a trip in Hawaii. She confirmed in the same testimony that Connor had loaned her $20,000, half of which she gave to her mother, per TMZ. She noted at the time that she returned the other $10,000 to Connor.
