Kevin Costner is drawing a clear line in the sand — and it ends at the shores of Hawaii.
Sources close to the Yellowstone star say the actor is furious over his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner’s upcoming wedding to his former friend, financier Josh Connor. The destination nuptials, planned for later this summer, have stirred deep emotions for Costner, who is reportedly feeling blindsided by both the romance and the people he once considered loyal.
“Kevin feels completely betrayed — not just by Christine, but by Josh and anyone who supports their relationship,” an insider reveals. “He’s made it known: if you attend that wedding, don’t expect to remain in his life.”
Costner, 70, and Baumgartner, 50, finalized their highly publicized divorce last year after 18 years of marriage. Shortly afterward, whispers of her relationship with Connor — who had once been part of the couple’s social circle — began to emerge, adding another layer of heartbreak to the already messy split.
The Oscar-winning actor is said to be “shocked” that friends he trusted would even consider showing up to the ceremony. “He sees it as a betrayal,” the source says. “To him, it’s not just about the wedding — it’s about loyalty.”
While Baumgartner and Connor are keeping plans for the intimate beach ceremony under wraps, invitations have allegedly gone out to several mutual acquaintances, putting many in a difficult position.
“It’s forcing people to choose sides,” the insider adds. “But Kevin isn’t budging. He’s hurt, and he’s protecting himself the only way he knows how.”
As the wedding date approaches, the question remains: who will stand by Christine and Josh — and who will remain loyal to Costner?
