Kevin Costner and estranged wife Christine Baumgartner gave each other the cold shoulder on Friday June 13, as they celebrated their son Cayden’s high school graduation.
The pair kept their distance, sitting on opposite ends of the school’s field as they watched their son accept his diploma, and posing for pictures with their son at different times.
Kevin wore white pants and a tan jacket for the celebrations, and was joined by his daughter Lily, who cheered on her half-brother from the stands and was pictured being hugged by her father. Kevin was snapped taking pictures of his children together, with Cayden in his bright green robes, and the father and son duo were later pictured walking away with their arms around each other’s shoulders.
Christine wore a brown floral silk dress and added a white shawl, and she was joined by her youngest son Hayes, who wore jeans and a flannel shirt, and 15-year-old daughter Grace.
In pictures shared by TMZ, Cayden and Hayes were caught on camera posing with the young girl between them, with her arms around their shoulders and her feet off the floor.
Christine filed for divorce in early 2023, and after months of back and forth finalized the terms of their divorce in September of that year after Christine contested the terms of their 2004 prenuptial agreement.

At the conclusion of the two days of hearings, the court ordered Kevin to pay a monthly child support of $63,209 to Christine. This amount starkly contrasts with the $161,592 that Christine had requested, which was originally an even higher $248,000.

The newly-engaged pair were first spotted together on a vacation in Hawai’i with friends.
Josh is reportedly also divorced, as of January 2023, and like Christine, also shares three kids with his former spouse.
