Kevin Costner expresses love for ex Christine Baumgartner amid 'horrible' divorce

Kevin Costner shared his thoughts on his ongoing divorce from Christine Baumgartner.

Kevin Costner spoke to Access about the emotional toll of their contentious child support battle, saying, "This is a horrible place to be but this is where we're at. 

It feels so bad, we're talking about somebody I love on the other side. I just can't."

Costner further revealed that he still holds love for his ex-wife Christine and expressed hope that a resolution could be reached swiftly, acknowledging the challenges of the situation.

During his testimony in the divorce hearing, Costner exhibited a range of emotions, at times chuckling and engaging in heated exchanges with his ex-wife's lawyer.

He disclosed his intention to potentially go to court over the popular series Yellowstone as part of the discussions regarding his income and property division.

When questioned about the value of a single property in comparison to his five-lot compound, Costner remarked, "I only live in one of the properties, so I believe they're comparable. I don't think they're equal." 

Donning black-framed glasses, he responded to attorney John Rydell's inquiry about swapping homes with his ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, with a hearty laugh and a witty comment: "This is tricky!" 

He explained that he wouldn't exchange homes, not because he didn't consider them comparable, but because he had raised his three children in his current home, a place with deep sentimental value.

With a smile, Costner added, "There are some features of Baumgartner's new house that I'd like to have in mine," offering a lighter moment during the courtroom proceedings.
