Kevin Costner’s ex admits romance with a family friend as the actor sheds tears during the ‘Horizon’ Cannes premiere.

Christine Baumgartner, Kevin Costner’s ex-wife, has acknowledged her connection with a family friend, Joshua Connor.

Baumgartner, 50, ventured out with Connor near her house in Santa Barbara, California. Their afternoon outing was the couple’s first public expression of affection since Costner and Baumgartner divorced in February after a nine-month court fight.

Across the ocean, Costner was overcome with emotion as he received a nearly 10-minute standing ovation for his western epic, “Horizon: An American Saga,” at the Cannes Film Festival.

Connor’s name came up at Baumgartner and Costner’s child custody payment hearing last year, when Costner’s legal team questioned a $20,000 loan from a “boyfriend” identified as Josh.
