Actor Kevin Costner and his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner have reportedly been friendly with each other.
The handbag designer filed to end the marriage in May, and the two officially finalized their divorce last month. Due to their split dispute, the two are expected to have no plans to reconcile.
According to reports, all that has changed, and the former couple are now on speaking terms. However, Costner’s friends believe that Baumgartner may be planning to get more money from the actor, mainly because he feels deprived.

It was barely a month ago when Costner and Baumgartner were at each other’s throats trying to dissolve their 19-year marriage.
Baumgartner filed for divorce in May, seeking nearly $200,000 in child support for the three children they share, sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 13. However, things didn’t turn out the way she envisioned, leading to the two -both parties settle out of court and maintain their prenuptial agreement.
Now, comply National Enquirer (via Radar Online), Costner and Baumgartner are “friendly” with each other and even on speaking terms. It is claimed that the “Yellow Stone” actor still cares about his ex-wife despite all that has happened, especially during the divorce proceedings.
“Christine sees the positive side of being friends with Kevin again since he walked away with less than he bargained for,” a source told the news outlet. “They were friendly, which was a relief to Kevin. Even after all this bad blood, he still has a sweet spot for her.”

While the details of the settlement between the former couple remain unknown, Baumgartner reportedly received $1.5 million, which is the amount agreed upon in the prenuptial agreement he signed in 2004.
This does not include other fees and child support payments of about $63,000, only about a third of what the mother of three asked for when she filed for divorce from Costner.
Several reports after the divorce stated that Baumgartner was not satisfied with what he received and that he only chose to settle out of court because he knew his chances of winning were slim. As a result, Costner’s friends didn’t buy Baumgartner’s act of reconciliation.
“But the feeling is that Christine is using that to her advantage — making him let his guard down in hopes that he’ll give her more money,” the source shared.
They added, “People around them say Christine will go further and make it a friends-with-benefits situation. She will, but she has to be careful – because it could cost her.”

Reports of Costner and Baumgartner’s choice to be friendly with each other come weeks after the handbag designer was accused of defaming Costner following their out-of-court settlement.
At the time, sources claimed that he was on a rant, telling everyone who would listen that the actor was no match in bed in an effort to “make him the laughing stock of Hollywood.”
“Christine is reaping sweet revenge by trashing Kevin to anyone who will listen, saying he’s a selfish lover who never satisfies her,” a source shared, per Online Radar. “It amused people because Kevin was always proud of his reputation as Don Juan.”
The insider also noted that this isn’t the first time Baumgartner has disparaged Costner’s sexual prowess, saying that he had hinted at it in the early days of their relationship.
“Even in their early days, Christine figured Kevin’s bedroom skills weren’t much to brag about,” the source added. “Now, he talks to everyone.”

The exact date of their separation was not made public until May. However, court records later confirmed that Baumgartner officially recognized April 11 as the date of their separation.
In May, representatives of the “Yellowstone” cast also officially informed the public that Costner and Baumgartner are no longer a couple.
The statement read at the time, “It is with great regret that circumstances beyond his control have occurred which have forced Mr. Costner to participate in the dissolution of marriage. ” it also urged people to respect both theirs and their children’s privacy as they “navigate this difficult time.”
