Christine Baumgartner and Josh Conner are entering a new chapter together.
Christine—who was previously married to Kevin Costner—and the financier are now engaged, a source confirmed to E! News, with Josh, 49, surprising the handbag designer with a romantic beach dinner in Santa Barbara on Jan. 26.
“It was about to rain, so almost no one else was on the beach when Josh got down on one knee,” the source continued, adding the proposal didn’t come as a surprise to their inner circle. “The couple has been going strong for over a year, spending Christmas in New York together last month where it all began.”
This news comes 11 months after Christine, 50, finalized her divorce to Kevin following a tense legal battle. Christine—who shares kids Cayden, 17, and Hayes, 15, and Grace, 14, with the Yellowstone alum—filed to end their 18-year marriage in May 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences.”
Months later, the split became more contentious as they disagreed over child support.
