COSTNER'S TRAGIC VICTORY DANCE

Crushes wife in divorce war but admits he still loves her

TV COWBOY Kevin Costner is riding high after a judge slashed his child support to estranged wife Christine Baumgartner by more than half, but the sad star still describes the breakup as “horrible” and says he still loves the hot handbag designer.

The 68-year-old Yellowstone hunk’s victory came when a judge slashed Christine’s demand for $161,592 monthly support for their kids, Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13, to just $63,209 every four weeks — or about $750,000 a year.

That’s peanuts compared to 49-year-old Christine’s original $248,000-a-month request following her May divorce filing — and Costner’s estimated $400 million wealth. He reportedly earned $23.5 million last year.
