Christine Baumgartner has tied the knot with her family friend Joshua Connor, a year and a half after finalizing her divorce from Kevin Costner. The ceremony took place on Saturday at the Santa Ynez Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, surrounded by 100 of their closest family and friends.

The couple got engaged in January and had been spotted together on vacation in Hawaii in July 2023, sparking romance rumors between Baumgartner and Connor. Nearly a year later, the pair confirmed their relationship while walking hand-in-hand together in Santa Barbara shortly after she finalized her divorce with Costner.

Baumgartner filed for divorce from Costner in May 2023, citing irreconcilable differences, and they eventually agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their three children. The ex-couple had been married for almost 19 years before deciding to part ways.

Their relationship is a fresh start for Baumgartner, who has now found love with someone who shares her family ties. Connor's past relationships were with his ex-wife, which made the connection between them special and unique. Their wedding ceremony was described as "magical" by guests, with an intimate atmosphere that felt like a celebration of their genuine bond.

In recent months, Baumgartner has been spotted at various events with Connor, solidifying their commitment to each other. With this new chapter in her life, Christine Baumgartner is embracing love and a fresh beginning, surrounded by the people she loves most – including her children, who are part of the close-knit group that attended her wedding.

OMG u guys!! 🀯 so christine baumgartner finally found someone to share her life with!! i feel like such a relief for her after all the drama with kevin costner πŸ’” it's like she was stuck in this toxic relationship for ages and now she's breaking free from those shackles and finding love again ❀️

and can we talk about how perfect joshua connor is for her?? 🀩 they just vibe on a whole different level, you know? they've been through their own struggles with past relationships and now they get to build this new life together, surrounded by their children 🌳 it's like they were meant to be!

i loved how they didn't rush into anything, though. they took their time, got engaged in january, and confirmed their relationship later on πŸ‘« it just shows that they're not afraid of commitment, but also value their own individuality πŸ’–

and can we talk about the wedding ceremony?! πŸŽ‰ it sounds like it was absolutely magical! i love how intimate it felt, with only 100 close family and friends in attendance 🀩 who wouldn't want to celebrate with the people you love most?! πŸ’•
 
Love is like a garden, it needs care and attention to grow! πŸ’ It's amazing how Baumgartner and Connor found each other again, not just as friends, but as partners in love. Life's full of surprises, and sometimes what we thought was over can actually be new beginnings. "The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." πŸ’•
 
πŸ€” It's crazy to think about how our lives can take such unexpected turns... like, one day you're tied down to someone else and the next, you're free to love again. I mean, Christine Baumgartner's divorce from Kevin Costner was a fresh start for her, but it wasn't just about escaping a relationship – it was also about rediscovering herself. And now, she's found love with someone who shares a similar story, like they both got a second chance at life. It makes me wonder, is this what we call 'serendipity' in today's world? When do our paths cross and lead us to where we're meant to be? πŸ’•
 
Ugh, can't believe they had to make their wedding so extra πŸ€―πŸŽ‰. I mean, 100 guests? That's just crazy! And what with the whole "magical" atmosphere vibe... it feels like they're trying too hard to make this love story special πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ. And Joshua Connor? Like, who is he even? Family friend? How about we get some info on him first before we start celebrating Christine's love life? πŸ€” Not sure I'm sold on this new relationship just yet...
