Kevin Costner in turmoil: this astronomical sum that he will have to pay to his ex-wife

Love stories end badly… It’s not Kevin Costner who will say the opposite. In fact, the american actor, who probably thought he was still living good years with his wife Christine Baumgartner, will have to face complicated months. Last May, our colleagues from TMZ had indicated that divorce proceedings had been initiated, ending 18 years of common life. Christine Baumgartner, mother of three of the actor’s seven children, is asking for custody of her toddlers. A thorny subject between the two former lovebirds who tear each other apart for the custody of Cayden (15 years old), Hayes (14 years old) and Grace (12 years old). Christine Baumgartner claims an astronomical sum for alimony.

Kevin Costner will have to pay a large sum to his ex-wife

The interior designer wants no less than $248,000 a month. A sum that she judges however “lower than the amount needed to maintain the children in their usual way of life”. And what does her ex-husband think? Kevin Costner would judge his wife’s request for “very cheeky and baseless”according to our colleagues from People who were able to access documents related to the divorce. According TMZ, Kevin Costner would undoubtedly be obliged to pay the sum of 129,755 dollars per month to his ex-wife. Another very important point: still according to the American media, both parents will be responsible for 50% of the expenses related to the health of their toddlers, as well as those devoted to extracurricular activities and tuition fees.

A judge will have to give his final answer in the following months. But the tensions between the two former husband and wife are palpable. “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have occurred which have required Mr. Costner to participate in a marriage dissolution action. We ask that his privacy, that of Christine and their children be respected. as they go through this difficult time,” was it shared. Especially since Kevin Costner has to take care of his four other children. Previously, the actor was married from 1978 to 1994 to Cindy Silva, with whom he welcomed his three eldest: Annie (who married in 2016), Lily and Joe. He also had a son, Liam, from his brief relationship with Bridget Rooney.
