Almost half a year has passed since Costner and Baumgartner ended their 19-year marriage after months of court battles. Following their split, Costner was linked to singer Jewel, while Baumgartner was confirmed to be dating Josh Connor, a wealthy financier.
However, according to an Us Weekly reports, Costner “has a strong suspicion” that his ex-wife and her new lover had something going on while they were still mulling over their breakup.
A source revealed that the new couple are “close [bond] was the real elephant in the room” during that period, as they were also spotted together enjoying a sun-kissed holiday in Hawaii in July last year.
This belief appears to be consistent with Costner’s comments during the divorce proceedings in August 2023, when he claimed he “didn’t really know” if Baumgartner was having an “extramarital” affair.

While it’s unclear whether the suspicions are true or not, insiders think Baumgartner doesn’t care what Costner thinks. They say he believes that since the “Yellowstone” star has moved on, he shouldn’t have “anything to complain about”.
“Josh has been Christine’s rock throughout the divorce. If Kevin has a problem with that, that’s on him,” the source said.
They further explained that Baumgartner, who has long been Connor’s close friend, only saw their relationship develop into a romantic relationship “recently.”
Meanwhile, Baumgartner has denied having an affair with Conn0r during the divorce proceedings as the court seeks to confirm allegations of possible infidelity. However, he admitted taking a $20,000 loan from an investor and has repaid $10,000.

Since Baumgartner’s relationship with Connor came to light, the two have been seen together in public.
The two are less than 5 minutes apart, so it’s no wonder they’re often seen going in and out of each other’s homes. Recently, he was seen in his Range Rover giving Connor a ride to his house, and later that same day, Connor stopped by Baumgartner’s house for a quick visit.
While it’s unclear when their relationship began, reports indicate that Baumgartner and Connor have been together for a while.
“They are together, and they have been for a long time. They spent the pre-Christmas time together in Hawaii while Kevin may be in Aspen with the kids,” a source said of the pair, who allegedly met through their children.
“They also made a trip to New York together. He didn’t do much to hide what happened from his friends,” the source added.
