Inside Kevin Costner’s messy divorce as he claims wife won’t leave £115m house as she ‘spends £75k on his credit card’
HOLLYWOOD star Kevin Costner has claimed his estranged wife has left him “homeless” by refusing to move out of his £115million mansion.
His 19-year marriage crumbled in April, and the following month handbag designer Christine Baumgartner, 49, filed for divorce.
But the split has now turned bitter after lawyers failed to reach an agreement.
The Bodyguard actor, 68 — who had a 16-year marriage with first wife Cindy Silva — said: “This is surprising and disheartening to me.
“I was married once before and, upon separation, found myself without a home base and unable to live in my own home.
“I never wanted this to happen again.”
Kevin — worth £200million — and Christine have two sons, Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and daughter, Grace, 13.
They signed a prenup which said she would leave the California home and relocate using a £1million fund but she has not moved since receiving £800,000 of it.
Kevin’s lawyers claim she has stayed put in a bid to make him give in to “financial demands”.
He bought the home in 1988 — 16 years before they married.
Christine has filed a restraining order against the actor which stops him from taking their children out of California or selling any property.
In legal papers, Kevin claims she has charged £75,000 to his credit card without warning since the split.
