Kevin Costner and ex-wife Christine Baumgartner settle divorce

Kevin Costner and ex-wife Christine Baumgartner have settled their divorce after months of back and forth between the pair.

According to TMZ, Baumgartner, who shares three children with the Hollywood star, agreed to the terms over the weekend after a judged ruled their prenup would be enforced.

A representative of Costner‘s told People: “Kevin and Christine Costner have come to an amicable and mutually agreed upon resolution of all issues pertaining to their divorce proceedings.”

Baumgartner originally filed for divorce from her husband of 18 years on May 1. She had reportedly listed their separation as April 11.

Just a month ago, Costner’s lawyers slammed Baumgartner’s claim that she “felt pressured” into signing a prenup agreement signed by the pair after their 2004 wedding.

Baumgartner reportedly made a claim that she “felt pressured to sign the agreement because of the circumstances surrounding its execution” and “didn’t fully understand it”.

In court documents filed on August 10, however, the Yellowstone star’s legal team have argued that her claim contradicts a previous statement in which she admitted she entered the agreement under her own “free will”, as per the lawyers.

“This contradicts the unambiguous language in the PMA wherein Christine represented in all caps that she ‘voluntarily’ and ‘free from duress, fraud or undue influence’ entered into the agreement,” lawyers for Kevin, 68, wrote.

It came days after Costner hit out at his ex for “prolonging” divorce proceedings by failing to answer his “discovery requests”, which would indicate that she has understood the terms of their prenuptial agreement, according to legal documents obtained by Us Weekly.

Costner, 68, claimed his ex “steadfastly refused” to reveal her contentions surrounding their divorce and that she “cannot admit or deny that she understood” their executed prenup.

Baumgartner was the one to officially file for divorce from the Oscar winner after almost 19 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences” on May 1.

Costner filed his response one day later, also listing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the divorce.

The pair were married for 18 years, sharing three children together – Grace, 13, Hayes, 14, and Cayden, 16.
