Kevin Costner & Christine Baumgartner's Hasty Divorce May Have Been a Strategic Move Ahead of This Event
Despite weeks of back and forth in Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner’s divorce case, they wrapped it up quite suddenly this week. Onlookers were sure this trial would last months, maybe even years, like some celebrity divorces. However, they cleared up everything now, and fans are wondering, “How did this happen so quickly?” Well, some eagle-eyed fans realized a very important date is coming right up, and many have speculated that they wanted to clear the air beforehand.
The Let Him Go star and Baumgartner are still set to host the Kick Ash Bash created by the non-profit One805 on September 22. (And they’re hosting it at the $60 million oceanside estate they once both called home.)
