Kevin Costner just can't catch a break, can he? So a quick catch up, since leaving Yellowstone, Costner used Santa Barbara home to raise an extra $100 million which he pumped into his passion project, the Horizon film trilogy. Unfortunately, the first film was a huge flop and the second one is stuck in limbo since one of the stuntswomen from the set has taken Costner to court accussing him of sexual harrassment.

Costner's then wife, Christine Baumgartner, filed for a divorce from him the same month that his exit from Yellowstone was formally announced and their divorce has been anything but easy. The last stroke came on September 8 when a judge gave Costner some relief, allowing him to continue paying $63,209 per month instead of the $161,592 Baumgartner was asking for as the judge termed her requests as "disguised spousal support."

Fast Forward to This weekend, Christine Baumgartner has married Costner's former friend and neighbor in a private wedding. Mind you, Costner always suspected that the two of them were more than friends long before their relationship was formalized.

Then comes what is probably the saddest statement any man could hear after all this, "Christine doesn’t think Kevin has anything to complain about,” the source added. “Josh has been Christine’s rock throughout the divorce ordeal. If Kevin has a problem with that, that’s on him." This was apparently said by a source close to Christine, but it sure does sound like a loud insult.

I really hope it gets easier for Costner going forward

Man that is a brutal run of losses all at once. Career blow-ups, a passion project tanking, public divorce, and then the ex ends up with someone from inside his own circle, that’s the kind of combo hit that would break most people. And that “if he has a problem, that’s on him” line is ice cold, even if it came from a “source.”

You don’t have to be a Costner fan to feel bad for the guy. Hopefully at some point he gets a stretch of calm, because right now it’s just one thing after another.
