The Hollywood actor’s ex wife has been spending more time at his former friend\u2019s house – and the star is feeling humiliated\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hollywood actor Kevin Costner is fuming that his ex wife is said to be dating his former friend Josh Connor, after his ex denied\u00a0<\/p>\n

He divorced his wife of 16 years Christine Baumgartner in September following a bitter court battle and has since moved on with singer Jewel, but Kevin Costner is livid his ex has been enjoying overnight visits with his one-time friend, Josh Connor, and it\u2019s destroyed the former couple\u2019s temporary ceasefire.
An insider reveals, \u201cKevin is committed to his new romance with Jewel and is by no means hung up on Christine or jealous of his old friend in any way. But what bothers him in this scenario is the sheer treachery and sketchy way it\u2019s all come together, especially after Christine swore under oath in court that she and Josh weren\u2019t an item.\u201d
In May last year, Christine – who Kevin shares children Cayden Wyatt, 15, Hayes Logan, 14, and\u00a0Grace Avery, 13 with Kevin – filed for divorce from Yellowstone actor, citing “irreconcilable differences.\u201d
A contentious legal battle followed and after Kevin, 68, accused her of having a new boyfriend, a tearful Christine, 49, insisted in court that she and investor Josh are just good friends. She said she shared a room with a female friend, not him, during a July vacation away where he was present.<\/p>\n

The former couple divorced last September, following 16 years of marriage<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Christine was then forced to explain a \u00a316,000 loan handed to her by Josh – \u00a38,000 of which she said had been paid to her mother while the rest had been returned. She then had to admit that Kevin had been making monthly payments of \u00a34,000 to help her parents which had stopped when she filed for divorce.
Last week, Christine was seen in her Range Rover dropping off Josh at his palatial Montecito home – less than five minutes from her own house – after a brief trip away. The pair also travelled together at Christmas, with Josh flying Christine to Hawaii on a private jet which she admitted had been funded by the financier.
The insider explains Kevin feels humiliated by his ex and former friend\u2019s recent meet ups.
\u201cHe\u2019s got zero doubt they\u2019re trash-talking him, spending his money and looking to hang around Montecito like a bad smell, and that makes him so mad. He was hoping 2024 would signal a fresh, amicable start for himself and Christine but now he can\u2019t stand the thought of being in the same room,\u201d they say.
Kevin and Christine finally settled their divorce in September, with Kevin\u2019s representative confirming the former couple had come to a mutual agreement. During divorce proceedings, the former couple fought over a disagreement over child support and accusations that handbag designer Christine cleared out their home of valuables before she moved out. They finally settled on Christine receiving around \u00a350,000 a month for the children and \u00a31.2million from his rumoured \u00a3320 million fortune, as per the conditions of their pre nuptial agreement. Kevin\u2019s first wife, Cindy Silva, got a \u00a364 million payout after they split in 1994.
The insider said Kevin was shocked at how vigorously Christine battled.
They say, \u201cWhat he didn\u2019t bargain for at that time was how aggressive she\u2019d approach the settlement, effectively trying to take him to the cleaners and come after him for every dime she could possibly rinse. Of course it then became open warfare between both sets of lawyers, their communication became totally toxic and so Kevin didn\u2019t really get the closure he wanted or needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now, seeing Christine with his old friend \u2013 the one she denied having any romantic involvement with \u2013 well that just reopens old wounds and makes him wonder what the hell they really got up to back in the day. He sure as hell doesn\u2019t believe they were vacationing I n Hawaii with friends soon after the divorce, either. And it\u2019s going to be hard for him to look her in the eye with any semblance of respect now, even though they\u2019ve been somewhat more cordial recently whilst organising what\u2019s best for their kids.\u201d
They add that Christine is sticking to her guns that it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business who she dates.
\u201cShe\u2019s stopped short of confirming that Josh is now her boyfriend. To her it totally stinks that Kevin can do no wrong in people\u2019s eyes, she\u2019s being picked to pieces for having a special male friend while he\u2019s cavorting around with his new country singer girlfriend and strutting around at awards bashes like the cat that ate the canary. She\u2019s done apologising or excusing herself and feels strongly that her side of the street is totally clean, period. Kevin and his friends can have their conspiracy theories, that\u2019s their issue not hers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kevin met folk-turned-pop singer Jewel during a trip to Richard Branson\u2019s Necker Island on Thanksgiving weekend in November. He was spotted with his arms wrapped around her waist as they attended a tennis fundraiser for the Inspiring Children Foundation, which was founded by 49-year-old Jewel.\u00a0
Jewel gushed about \u201ckind\u201d Kevin on Instagram.
She wrote, \u201cEvery year, my foundation @inspiringchildren and I go to Necker Island to help host a tennis event w @richardbranson to raise funds for our kids\u2026. @kevincostnermodernwest was kind enough to mentor our kids this year, and Sir Richard was his usual inspiring self- who also plays a mean game of doubles.\u201d
After the trip, the pair reportedly flew to the Caribbean together and spent over a week in each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n
