The Intriguing Love Story Of Kevin Costner And Christine Baumgartner

If we are being honest, one of our favorite pastimes is to gossip about juicy celebrity love stories and breakups. Here, we will delve into the love story of one of the most famous couples in Hollywood, Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner.

How Their Love Story Started

Christine Baumgartner and Kevin Costner first met in the late 1980s when they bumped into each other at a golf course. At that time, Costner was still married to his first wife, Cindy Silva. However, they got divorced in 1994 after 16 years of being together. Kevin went on a dating spree between 1994 and 1998. It was not until 1998 when they accidentally met again in a restaurant. They exchanged phone numbers, and Costner informed her that he would call her in two weeks. He then admitted in an interview with People in 2003 that he had no idea it could be construed as an insult by a woman at the time. Despite a 20-year age difference, they stayed in touch and finally began dating.

In 2002, they had a short falling out because of the actor's unwillingness to have more children. At that time, he already has three kids with his ex-wife, and another one with his ex-girlfriend, Bridget Rooney.
