This divorce is turning out to be nastier than we thought — and expensive!
If you hadn’t seen, Kevin Costner‘s wife of the past 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce in May, reportedly “out of the blue” as far as the Yellowstone star was concerned. Not only that, we’ve since heard Christine is going for the throat on this one.
Apparently she’s refusing to leave one of their three homes, despite what it says in her prenup. As we understand it, the home is in his name, so since she chose to end the marriage, she’s legally required to get out by May 30 — 30 days after she filed. (We’re now three weeks past that!) He apparently offered her over a million bucks down and $30k a month to find a new place, but she isn’t budging. (The current residence she’s in is a $145 million estate in Santa Barbara, so pretty much anything would be a downgrade.)

Kevin’s legal team claimed in a filing she was squatting in an attempt to extort “various financial demands” from him. Now we may have a better idea what he was talking about…
According to legal docs obtained by People, Christine is requesting an absolutely jaw-dropping $248,000 a month in child support.
Yeah, $248,000 *PER MONTH*. We’ll let you get a breath after reading that one.
To be clear, the couple share three children, all teenagers — Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13 — and this is “$248,000 total for all three children.” But a quarter million bucks per month?? We’re not talking about college funds or anything, that’s day-to-day living??
Yep. Christine says that gasp-worthy figure “is less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle.” WTF is she
