“It was about to rain, so almost no one else was on the beach when Josh got down on one knee.”

The divorce was contentious, with the former couple fighting over money, property and the validity of their prenuptial agreement. Costner ultimately agreed to pay slightly more than their prenup had directed, but significantly less than what Baumgartner was asking.

Baumgartner and Connor knew each other during her marriage to Costner. In fact, he was their neighbor, and he and Costner were friends.

Media rumors of an affair followed them during the divorce — especially after they were spotted together in Hawaii in July of 2023 looking very cozy.
