Kevin Costner claims his estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, is refusing to move out of their shared house after filing for divorce. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, Costner, known for his role in Yellowstone, stated that their prenuptial agreement requires Christine to vacate the house within 30 days of filing for divorce.
Costner, who is 68 years old, informed the court that he believes Christine is purposely staying in the house to pressure him into meeting her financial demands. The actor mentioned that he has already fulfilled his obligations under the prenuptial agreement by providing Christine with over $1.2 million (£900,000). Since their separation, he claims to have given her a total of approximately $1.45 million (£1.14 million).

Costner emphasized that he is the sole owner of all three of their properties, and according to the prenuptial agreement signed in 2004, Christine is required to vacate them upon filing for divorce.
