Kevin Costner had an inkling that his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner was romantically involved with their neighbor Josh Connor, according to a report.
The “Yellowstone” actor and the handbag designer, who share three kids, finally settled their bitter divorce in September.
Baumgartner has since moved on with Costner’s former friend, while Costner has reportedly started dating singer Jewel.
“Kevin had strong suspicions that something was going on between Christine and Josh,” a source told Us Weekly. “Their close [bond] was a real elephant in the room.”

“Christine doesn’t think Kevin has anything to complain about,” the source added. “Josh has been Christine’s rock throughout the divorce ordeal. If Kevin has a problem with that, that’s on him.”
