Emotional Testimony: Kevin Costner's Wife Breaks Down in Child Custody Hearing
Kevin Costner and his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, appeared in court for a child custody hearing, where Baumgartner became emotional and teary-eyed when discussing their children's connection to Costner's ranch in Aspen. The court has temporarily ordered Costner to pay $129,000 per month in child support, while Baumgartner is requesting an increase to $175,000 per month. Costner expressed irritation when Baumgartner's attorney suggested he should pay for both of their legal fees. Baumgartner testified that the children should have a comparable lifestyle to when they were together, while Costner argued that the current child support amount is sufficient. The couple has another custody hearing scheduled for Friday.
