“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.
