Just one year after finalizing her high-profile divorce from Hollywood star Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner is once again making headlines — this time with news of her unexpected engagement.
The 50-year-old former model and handbag designer has reportedly found new love and is now engaged to a man outside of the spotlight. Sources close to Baumgartner say the relationship developed quietly over the past several months, and the proposal came as a surprise even to those in her inner circle.
After a difficult and widely publicized split from Costner, with whom she shares three children, Baumgartner seems to have turned a new page in her personal life. “Christine is happy and at peace,” one insider shared. “She didn’t expect to fall in love again so soon, but it happened naturally.”
While the identity of her fiancé has not been officially confirmed, speculation is already swirling. Baumgartner has not yet made a public statement, but friends say she’s enjoying this new chapter and is looking forward to the future with optimism.
Kevin Costner, meanwhile, has remained focused on his career and upcoming film projects.
