The outdoor ceremony was attended by 100 of their closest family and friends, including their children. Baumgartner shares three children with Costner, while Connor shares three children with his ex-wife.

“It was magical – truly,” a guest told People. “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.”

Nearly one year later, the pair confirmed their relationship while walking hand-in-hand together in Santa Barbara, Calif., shortly after she finalized her divorce with Costner.

Baumgartner filed for divorce on May 1, 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. In documents obtained by Fox News Digital, Christine cited April 11 as the date of separation.

The purse designer took Costner to court over child support and the validity of their prenuptial agreement. The former couple eventually agreed to joint legal and physical custody, according to the documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
