Kevin Costner's ex-wife is moving on after their contentious divorce.

Christine Baumgartner and her new husband, financier Josh Connor, tied the knot on Saturday, PEOPLE reports. The couple welcomed 10 of their closest friends and family to celebrate their big day with a sunset ceremony held at the Santa Ynez Ranch. The private Santa Barbara vineyard is not far from where the model and handbag designer grew up.

Baumgartner's wedding to Connor comes just a year and a half after she finalized her divorce from Costner in February 2024. The couple had been together for 18 years and share three children. As for Connor, he shares three children of his own with his ex-wife. All six of the kids reportedly attended the wedding ceremony.

One wedding guest assured PEOPLE that the event was "magical," adding, "The setting was gorgeous, but what made it special was the intimacy of it all. This wasn't a big production. It was authentic, heartfelt, and so very them. Everyone there felt like they were witnessing something really precious."

Baumgartner and Connor first sparked romance rumors in July 2023, when they were spotted vacationing together in Hawaii — two months after she filed to divorce Costner on May 1, with their date of separation listed as April 11.

Baumgartner, who wed Costner in a September 2004 ceremony, disputed their prenuptial agreement after the split. A months-long legal battle ensued over child support and Baumgartner's move out from the family's Santa Barbara home. The *Yellowstone* star and his estranged wife reached a settlement agreement for the divorce in September 2023.
