Kevin Costner’s estranged wife is seeking $248,000 per month to help raise their three children
‘The Bodyguard’ actor, 68, has been caught in a legal battle with his designer ex-partner Christine Baumgartner, 49, since she filed for divorce in May after 18 years of marriage, and court papers now show she wants a small fortune to maintain the liftestyles of her and Kevin’s kids Cayden Wyatt, 16, Hayes Logan, 14, and 13-year-old Grace Avery.
According to documents obtained by People, Christine claims the cash being requested is “less than the amount needed to maintain the children in their accustomed lifestyle”.
She also wants ‘Yellowstone’ actor Kevin to pay for their kids’ private-school tuition, extracurricular activities, sports and health care expenses, according to the court documents.
Her filing has led to Kevin’s recent income records being released.
According to People, he made more than $19 million in 2022 and his family’s expenses, which included chefs and trips to the Caribbean, Hawaii, and Aspen, cost $6,645,285.
His net income was reportedly $7,595,520 after taxes.
The ‘Field of Dreams’ star previously argued in court documents obtained by Page Six he did not want his financial information to be made public out of fear that “irreparable harm” will be done to him by fraudsters.
Kevin has accused Christine of spending $95,000 of his money “without prior notice” to him on lawyers and a forensic accountant amid the proceedings.
The pair – who have a pre-nuptial agreement – are said to agree on child custody, which Christine has reportedly described as “joint”.
She is also not seeking spousal support.
