KEVIN COSTNER’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, is hell-bent for leather to shoot holes in her prenup with the Yellowstone star cowboy and get away with a monster chunk of his $500 million fortune — leaving his $80 million payout to first wife Cindy looking like peanuts, insiders dish.
The 49-year-old former model and handbag designer is also ripping the lid off the family’s secrets, mammoth finances and lavish spending — publicly embarrassing her moneybags 68-year-old husband of 18 years.
A source says Christine is cleverly using their three children — sons Cayden, 16, and Hayes, 14, and daughter Grace, 13 — as a weapon in her demands, claiming they’re entitled to 60 percent, a mind-boggling $300 million, of the family fortune!
“She is using their children as a battering ram against Kevin,” the source says. “She focuses on the kids in her divorce demands, and it’s a shrewd way of getting Kevin to pay through the nose.
“Kevin looks like a deadbeat if he doesn’t pony up.”
Christine’s filing already makes the Dances with Wolves dude look like a cold-hearted brute saying that instead of breaking the divorce news together, as she requested, Costner brutally “told our three children over a 10-minute Zoom call without me present” from his Las Vegas hotel room.
