Josh Connor Lists Montecito Home for $7.3M Following Engagement to Christine Baumgartner

Josh Connor, the new fiancé of Christine Baumgartner, has listed his Montecito home for $7.3 million shortly before their engagement, as they look to start a new chapter together following her divorce from Kevin Costner. The home, which features five bedrooms and luxurious amenities such as a spa and outdoor heaters, was purchased by Connor for $2.2 million in March 2022, indicating a significant potential profit. The couple, who began dating amid Baumgartner's divorce proceedings, are reportedly seeking some distance from Costner, as Connor's property is only about 7.5 miles from Costner's residence. Baumgartner finalized her divorce from Costner, with whom she shares three children, and the couple's relationship has been described as strong and supportive. Despite the complications from their past connections, sources indicate that both are excited about their future together. The engagement, confirmed after a private proposal, marks a swift transition from Baumgartner's previous marriage.
