Kevin Costner’s ex-wife Christine Baumgartner continued her weekend by stocking up on groceries.

The 49-year-old handbag designer was spotted wheeling a cart of groceries to her vehicle at Whole Foods in Santa Barbara.

The outing comes after reports surfaced that Costner had ‘strong suspicions’ that she was secretly involved with boyfriend Josh Connor before their divorce.

Baumgartner was spotted out wearing a brown sweatshirt while accessorizing with a gold link necklace and several bracelets.

She also donned a grey baseball cap which her blonde locks spilled out of on the grocery shopping outing.

She completed her look with light blue jeans plus camo sneakers with white soles for the shopping outing.

Baumgartner and Costner had first met on a golf course back in 1994, when he was rehearsing for his 1996 golf movie Tin Cup.

After he split with wife Cindy Silva that year, he started dating Bridget Rooney, who he had a child with, but after they broke up in 1998, he ran into Baumgartner again at a restaurant and they started dating shortly thereafter.

They tied the knot in September 2004 at the actor’s 160-acre ranch in Aspen, Colorado dubbed The Dunbar, named after his Dances With Wolves character.

They share two sons born in 2007 and 2009 and a daughter born in 2010, and were married for nearly 20 years when Baumgartner filed for a divorce in September 2023.

Costner was said to have been ‘blindsided’ by the divorce, which was finalized in September 2023.

It was revealed earlier this month that Baumgartner was dating financier Josh Connor, a former neighbor of the couple in Palm Springs.

The 49-year-old Connor is a recently-divorced father of three, who became legally single in early January 2023, just five months before Baumgartner’s surprising divorce filing.

A source told US Weekly earlier this week that Costner had suspected, ‘something was going on between Christine and Josh.’

Baumgartner and Connor reportedly had a ‘close bond’ which became a real, ‘elephant in the room’ when they were together.

She has since moved on with the financer – and former neighbor – after the pair were first spotted together during a trip to Hawaii last year in July.

Costner was also linked to singer Jewel in December, three months after reaching a divorce settlement.
