230,000 euros per month. That is what Christine Baumgartner, the now ex-wife of Kevin Costner, requested per month as alimony for her three children with the actor. A temporary support, which included "needs" of Christine herself, such as more than 150,000 euros in concepts of plastic surgery and personal trainer services. After passing through the hands of the judge handling the couple's divorce, his claim has been dismissed, and Costner will only have to pay about 118,000 euros a month as support for the three minors.
A judicial decision that gives victory to the protagonist of Bailando con Lobos, who will have to wait for another trial for the decision to be final, but everything indicates that it will be so, since these types of agreements are rarely modified.
As reported by the TMZ portal, Costner made a first proposal for a monthly payment of around 50,000 euros in support of his children, without counting the expenses of the children's health insurance, extracurricular activities, tuition at the private school of his daughter and her eldest son's car expenses. A proposal that his ex-wife refused to accept, but that she now must do - even for a smaller amount - as it has been determined by the courts.
A few amounts less than what Costner's ex-wife thought to receive, but which the actor justified by the decrease in his income after the end of his contract as the protagonist of the successful television series Yellowstone, his main source of income in recent times. . As the judge has seen justified, if he had to pay his ex-wife the high amounts that she requires, the actor should liquidate part of his assets.
At the beginning of May, the still wife of the protagonist of The Bodyguard, asked for a divorce after almost two decades of marriage. A request that caught the actor by surprise, who until then maintained what he thought was an idyllic relationship with his wife. However, the passing of the weeks has revealed that, far from cordial, her divorce has become a real pitched battle.
Just a few days ago, Costner had to turn to the courts again for his ex-wife to leave the family home, from which she refused to leave - in accordance with the prenuptial agreement that they both signed in 2004, which she is trying to invalidate and for who will face each other in court in November- and have received more than 1.2 million euros to look for a new residence.
Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner began their relationship in 1998 and, after a six-year courtship, they married in 2004. Their relationship has been at least idyllic for the past two decades, with their three children and very focused on their family life. The reasons that could have precipitated their divorce, for now, only they know; but just a few weeks ago they both posed at different events and there was nothing to suspect that things were going wrong between them.
