Kevin Costner's ex-wife, Christine Baumgartner, is reportedly off the market.

The purse designer, who finalized her divorce from the "Yellowstone" star in February 2024, is engaged to financier Joshua Connor, according to People magazine.

Romance rumors between Baumgartner and Connor sparked in July 2023 when the couple was spotted on vacation in Hawaii.

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

Connor reportedly proposed after an intimate dinner in Santa Barbara, California. "It was about to rain, so almost no one else was on the beach when Josh got down on one knee," a source told the outlet.

Representatives for Costner did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

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. 

She initially requested $248,000 in monthly child support for their three children, and a judge set a temporary monthly sum of $129,755 in July, only to rule in September that Costner would be responsible for $63,209 in monthly child support payments.

Connor's name became a focal point during Baumgartner and Costner's child custody payment hearing last year when Costner's legal team called into question a $20,000 loan from a "boyfriend" who they named as Josh.

Fox News Digital was in the courthouse when Baumgarter took the stand and said Connor was a longtime friend of "seven or eight years." When Rydell asked, "Is he your boyfriend?" Baumgartner replied, "No."

She recalled traveling to Hawaii in March with Connor and his daughter, and a group of friends. Costner didn’t go because "he wanted to do a speech with a hunting club." The Costners paid for the vacation home where the families stayed.

On July, Baumgartner traveled back to Hawaii with a group of friends and their children, including Connor and his daughter, who is "best friends" with Grace Costner, 13. Baumgartner said Connor "paid for the house."

When Rydell asked about claims Connor "gave Christine money," she said, "I can’t remember if it was before or after (the March or July trips to Hawaii.)" She continued, "He gave me $20,000." 

Of the $20,000, the purse designer said, "I gave $10,000 to my mother." She then became emotional on the stand. "She was concerned about her house," Baumgartner noted.

Taylor Swift, decked out head to toe in designer Louis Vuitton, entered Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday as usual, with a posse in tow, including her parents, Scott and Andrea, and younger brother, Austin, ahead of the AFC Championship game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.

In attendance to support her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Swift donned a $5,000 Monogrammed Jacquard Knit Jacket along with a slew of expensive accessories.

Although her jacket had the prominent LV logo emblazoned on it, making her hard to miss, Swift opted for more subtle accessories, albeit designer. She complimented her attire by wearing the LV Spark Beanie ($550), Stair Trail Ankle Boot ($1,760) and Trunk Chain Wallet ($2,850), totaling more than $10,000.

After the Chiefs successfully defeated the Bills 32-29, Swift greeted Kelce on the field with an added layer, wearing the LV Medallion Gloves ($495).

Her pricey outfit at Sunday's game was a stark contrast to last year's AFC Championship outfit, where the popstar wore a red sweater.

During last weekend's divisional round, Swift wowed in Chanel's 2024/2025 Cruise Collection, wearing a black and white tweed coat that retails for $9,600. Beneath it, Swift wore a black wool jumpsuit ($4,650), a chain belt ($2,250), and finished the look with pendant earrings ($1,150) and a likely vintage, Chanel flap bag.

Ben Stiller is opening up about why he and his wife decided to separate for a few years in 2017.

During a recent interview with The New York Times, the 59-year-old actor shared the reason behind the brief separation between him and his wife, Christine Taylor, starting in 2017.

"When we separated, it was just having space to see what our relationship was, what my life felt like when we weren’t in that relationship, how much I loved our family unit," he told the outlet.

He went on to explain that although their separation lasted "three or four years," the two of them remained "connected" the entire time.

BEN STILLER DOUBTS IF 'TROPIC THUNDER' WOULD BE MADE TODAY, SAYS 'EDGIER COMEDY' IS 'HARDER' TO DO

The couple met in 1999 when Taylor auditioned for a show Stiller was directing, and made their red carpet debut later that year at the MTV Movie Awards. They got married a year later in May 2000, during a ceremony in Kauai, Hawaii, welcoming their first child Ella just two years later in April 2002 and their son Quinlin in July 2005.

After 17 years of marriage, the couple announced through a joint statement to People, they had decided to separate, stating, "Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends."

Although they decided to separate, Stiller tells The New York Times, "In my mind, I never didn’t want us to be together."

"I don’t know where Christine was, you’d have to ask her, but COVID put us all together in the same house," he explained. "It was almost a year of living in the same house before we were actually together. But I’m so grateful for it, and I think not that many people do come back together when they separate."

"There’s nothing like that when you come back," he continued. "You have so much more appreciation for what you have, because we know we could not have it."

Stiller and Taylor were spotted out together multiple times throughout their separation period, most notably when she joined the actor as his date for the 2019 Emmy Awards, where he was nominated for his role in "Escape at Dannemora."

The actor confirmed they had ended their separation when discussing his relationship in a 2022 interview with Esquire, where he explained that accepting their differences was key in their reconciliation, saying doing so helps to "really appreciate someone more because you're not trying to get them to change for you." 

"Once you accept that, you save a lot of energy," he continued. "'This is something that works for me; this is something that doesn't work for me.' If you have that trust level with your partner, you know that me saying, 'I don't like doing that thing' is not me saying, 'I don't like you.'"

Taylor has also spoken about their time apart, telling "The Drew Barrymore Show" in March 2023, that she and Stiller realized they had "both started to grow in different directions" and "needed some time to figure that out." The pandemic ultimately gave them the opportunity to have conversations they otherwise would not be able to, with "no other distractions."

"I feel like when you've lived a lifetime with someone like we have — and we learned as we were going along — there's a freedom in that," she concluded. "There is a freedom in the comfort of this relationship and the commitment."

Marilyn Monroe was introduced to husband number two by an unlikely matchmaker – an "I Love Lucy" star.

The 25-year-old was dining out with her agent, Norman Brokaw, when William Frawley, who played Fred Mertz in the sitcom, approached them. He had an offer that the actress couldn’t refuse.

"[My father] took her to a television program called ‘Lights, Camera, Action,’ which was a showcase for up-and-coming talent," Norman's son Joel Brokaw told Fox News Digital. "[It was] a live show in Hollywood that all the casting agents would tune in to watch. They went and did this television show, and then he said, 'Let’s go down the street and go to The Hollywood Brown Derby and have a meal.’ It was the place to be seen."

ELVIS PRESLEY TURNED DOWN ICONIC MOVIE ROLE OVER MANAGER’S FEAR HE’D BE ‘OVERSHADOWED’: BOOK

"It didn’t take long before they were noticed," Joel shared. "William Frawley … came over to the table and he said … ‘I’m having dinner with Joe D. He would like to meet the young lady. We’ll stop by your table after we’re done.’ 

"Marilyn turned to my dad and said, ‘Who’s Joe D?’ She had no idea who Joe DiMaggio was. She obviously wasn’t a baseball fan. So, he had to give her a quick history of the importance of Joe DiMaggio."

Brokaw, who represented Elvis Presley, Clint Eastwood and many other top stars, died in 2016 at age 89. Joel has written a new memoir about the late patriarch, "Driving Marilyn," which details how he went from working in the mailroom of William Morris Agency to becoming its CEO.

DiMaggio, who was 12 years Monroe’s senior, had just retired from the New York Yankees. He was out dining with his close pal when he found himself captivated by the blonde beauty.

And Brokaw didn’t miss his chance to help bring the two together.

"[My father and Marilyn] finished their meal first," said Joel. "They went over to the table, and the rest is history."

Joel said his father met Monroe through his uncle, Hollywood talent agent Johnny Hyde. In her book "My Story," Monroe said that Hyde was in love with her and had asked her to marry him.

"If you look at all the stories that have been written about Marilyn Monroe, Johnny Hyde is a prominent chapter," Joel explained. "He was the big-shot superagent who believed in Marilyn. He was also living with her as well. He staked his entire reputation on advancing her career."

"At the time, a lot of the attitudes of his peers were, ‘That’s his lover, and she’s this year's blonde,’" Joel shared. "A lot of people didn’t see anything really special in her. But finally, towards the end of his life, he got her a contract with 20th Century Fox. At that point, my father had just been promoted to be a junior agent."

Joel said that Hyde had "a very bad heart condition," which prevented him from taking his dream client to functions. That’s when Brokaw stepped in.

"He had to take her to her auditions, which were for $55 a job, SAG minimum," Joel explained. "He took her to acting lessons, went to premieres and television shows that she was doing. He got to spend a lot of time with her.

"From what he told me about her, they really hit it off very well. He really liked her. He thought that she was incredibly intelligent. They just had a great relationship."

Hyde passed away in 1950. He was 55.

It was in 1952 when Brokaw and Monroe walked over to DiMaggio’s table to say hello. DiMaggio and Monroe went on to date for nearly two years before getting hitched at San Francisco City Hall in 1954.

Several months after the couple said, "I do," Brokaw received a phone call. It was from DiMaggio. According to the book, Monroe was no longer his client at the time.

"Joe DiMaggio got a piece of advice from my dad that came at a very crucial time in their marriage," said Joel. "Joe really wanted Marilyn to be a stay-at-home housewife. He was getting more and more upset about Marilyn’s higher profile and being out in public. 

"And so, my father said to him, ‘I don’t know of a woman who could convince you not to go up to bat to hit for the 56th straight game. And I don’t know of a man who could convince a young actress not to star in a movie with Clark Gable or Spencer Tracy.'"

"That made [a] lightbulb go on in Joe DiMaggio’s mind," said Joel. "He credited that advice for keeping the marriage alive a bit longer. . . . It also cemented a lifelong friendship that my father had with Joe DiMaggio."

The power couple’s marriage lasted only nine months. Monroe filed for divorce from DiMaggio, citing "mental cruelty."

Brokaw and Monroe crossed paths in a unique way once more in 1962. 

At the time, Joel’s mother was hospitalized with schizophrenia. Brokaw needed someone to help watch over his sons. Monroe’s psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, who had also worked with Joel’s mother, suggested housekeeper Eunice Murray.

"She was a person whom he placed with a lot of his patients to help them handle their day-to-day responsibilities and to have a watchful eye over them," Joel explained. "A few weeks earlier, Eunice Murray had walked in and found Marilyn Monroe dead. That was a really strange episode in my life."

"I really liked Mrs. Murray," said Joel. "But I also felt like the energy was strange about her. . . . That was part of growing up in Hollywood – a lot of strange stuff."

Monroe passed away from a barbiturate overdose in 1962. She was 36. It was DiMaggio, who had reentered her life in 1961, who planned her funeral.

"It was an undying love that he had for her for the rest of his life," Joel remarked.

DiMaggio had fresh roses delivered to Monroe's grave twice a week for 20 years. He outlived his ex-wife by almost four decades. He passed away in 1999 at age 84.

DiMaggio’s attorney later said that his reported last words were, "I’ll finally get to see Marilyn."

Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster are walking into 2025 hand-in-hand. 

On Monday, the former "Music Man" costars enjoyed a night out together in Santa Monica, California. The pair – who have been at the center of romance rumors – seemingly confirmed their relationship as they held hands during their stroll. One day prior, the Marvel star reportedly attended one of the final performances of Foster's "Once Upon a Mattress" in Los Angeles, according to People. 

Jackman and Foster costarred in "Music Man," which ran on Broadway from December 2021 to January 2023. During their time promoting the musical, the two often publicly supported one another while praising each other's performances and work ethic. 

HUGH JACKMAN AND WIFE DEBORRA-LEE FURNESS SPLIT AFTER 27 YEARS OF MARRIAGE

"He's one of the greatest guys ever, an incredible costar," Foster told People at the 2024 Drama Desk Awards last year. 

The romantic outing comes months after the Tony Award-winning actress filed for divorce from husband Ted Griffin, a screenwriter, in October. 

In September 2023, Jackman and his wife of 27 years, Deborra-lee Furness, announced their split in a joint statement.

"We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage," they said in a statement to People. "Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth."

"Our family has been and always will be our highest priority. We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness. We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives."

"This is the sole statement either of us will make," the statement, signed "Deb and Hugh Jackman," concluded.

While speaking with Page Six at a May 2024 film screening, Furness shared that she has been "learning a lot about myself and I’m embracing evolution and growth."

The Australia native admitted her "year of evolution" has been "scary" and "every other adjective."

However, Furness told the outlet she was "grateful" it presented her an opportunity for personal growth.

Furness shared that leaning on friends has helped her through difficult times, including her separation from Jackman.

"I say this to all women – your girlfriends are a necessity in life," Furness said.

Furness and Jackman, who is also from Australia, first met in 1995 on the set of the 10-part Australian TV series "Corelli."

Fox News Digital's Ashley Hume contributed to this post. 

Just days before James Dean’s first movie premiered, the actor reportedly paid off a disgruntled male lover who threatened to expose their relationship.

The agreement, which remained a secret for seven decades, is unveiled in a new book, "Jimmy: The Secret Life of James Dean." The star died in a car accident at age 24 in 1955.

"James Dean had been blackmailed by a former lover," author Jason Colavito claimed to Fox News Digital about the "Rebel Without a Cause" icon.

'90210' STAR LUKE PERRY WAS 'SPOOKED' BY COMPARISON TO DOOMED JAMES DEAN: 'I DON'T WANT TO CHECK OUT EARLY'

"He had met a man named Rogers Brackett who was an advertising executive and radio show producer way back when he was just starting his career," Colavito explained.

"The two of them had a relationship, according to Rogers Brackett. It was a loving relationship, and they were partners. They lived together. He provided Dean with a great amount of help and assistance in getting his career started. [But] their relationship fell apart."

According to Colavito, the two men met in 1951. At the time, Dean, an Indiana native, was working as a parking valet. Colavito claimed that Brackett introduced Dean to several prominent people in the film industry, kicking off his Hollywood career.

Dean, struggling financially, reportedly took a smitten Brackett’s offer to move in with him. The relationship became tumultuous with Brackett saying of Dean years later that he was "like a child" who "behaved badly just to get attention." Meanwhile, Dean saw Brackett as "increasingly desperate" and "manipulative," Colavito wrote.

The relationship, which was on and off, lasted until about 1953, Colavito claimed.

"There were many reasons that the relationship between James Dean and Rogers Brackett soured," said Colavito. "One of the reasons was that James Dean simply wasn’t comfortable being in a relationship with a man.

"This was the first time that he had been in such a relationship, and it moved very fast. They went from meeting each other to living together in a matter of weeks. And according to the stories that Dean’s friends later told, James Dean felt overwhelmed by it."

"It was simply too much," Colavito continued. "He felt like Rogers Brackett was trying to control him, that he was acting more like a father to him than an equal." As for Dean, he felt "used," said the author.

After the couple parted ways, Brackett seemingly disappeared from Dean’s life – at least until Dean was about to make his screen debut in 1955’s "East of Eden."

"Rogers returned, and he started sending letters and making telephone calls to James Dean’s agent demanding money," Colavito claimed. "He wanted James Dean to repay him all the money that he had spent on him during their relationship, supporting him. Things like paying for his rent, paying for his clothes, for meals, for travel. He wanted reimbursement for all of that."

Colavito claimed that at the time, Brackett had lost his job and was looking to finance an opera he wanted to produce.

"He was trying to hit up Dean for that money," said Colavito. "He knew that James Dean was about to become a huge movie star in ‘East of Eden.’ So, he timed this strategically. There are letters between James Dean’s agent, his attorney and Rogers’ attorney that show the development of this incident. It eventually rose to the level that Rogers said that he was going to sue Dean."

At the time, a homosexual relationship would have destroyed Dean’s career before it even started – and he knew it. 

Dean, feeling sexually exploited, but wanting to avoid a public scandal, reluctantly agreed to pay Brackett $800, which, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, is about $10,000 today, to "make him go away." The average salary for men at the time was about $3,400, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Colavito claimed that Warner Bros. Studio also paid Brackett a "finder’s fee."

"It was saying, ‘OK, we’ll give you credit for finding Dean and delivering his career to us if you won’t talk about him anymore,’" said Colavito. "We find that while James Dean was… filming ‘Rebel Without a Cause,’ there were a couple of days when he’s absent from the set… without explanation. 

"No one really knew what happened… That is the exact period when James Dean signs the settlement agreement and provides payment to Rogers Brackett to buy his silence."

Colavito said he made the discovery last year. At the time, the family of Jane Deacy, Dean’s New York agent with whom he shared a close bond, had sold off her archives at auction. Deacy died in 2008.

"These papers had been hidden for seven decades," said Colavito. "No one had seen them before. And they contained a huge number of revelations of things that had only been hinted at or rumored about in the past… when these papers were put up for auction… I went through all the more than 400 pages of documents."

"I was the first scholar who was able to use these materials to fully develop James Deans’s story," Colavito shared. "I purchased that settlement agreement so that it wouldn’t disappear into the ether, and it would be available for inspection and for the historical record."

For decades, Dean’s sexuality had been debated, with some claiming he was bisexual. In 2006, William Bast wrote a memoir, "Surviving James Dean," in which he claimed they had a secret relationship while Dean dated women in Hollywood. Bast died in 2015 at age 84.

According to Colavito, Brackett was dying of cancer when Ronald Martinetti interviewed him in 1974 for his book, "The James Dean Story." The stipulation was that the interview could not be published before Brackett’s death. The first edition of Martinetti’s biography was published in 1975, followed by his updated version in 1995.

Following the near-scandal, Dean moved on.

According to reports, Dean met Italian starlet Pier Angeli on the Warner Bros. lot in 1954. Colavito said that the relationship was "complicated."

"It looked like the kind of ideal young love that would be celebrated in every magazine and newspaper in America, and it was celebrated… but behind the scenes, the relationship was rather fraught," Colavito claimed.

"Pier said that at the time, she didn’t know whether she was really in love with Dean and certainly wasn’t ready to get married to anyone… We know that, at least, the first part of that was true, because she ran off with [singer] Vic Damone a few months into their relationship. They got married.

RARE PART FROM JAMES DEAN'S 'CURSED' PORSCHE 550 SPYDER SOLD FOR $382,000

"Being ready for marriage was probably something she was ready for, but not with Dean," Colavito added.

Colavito claimed that Dean "felt strongly" about the possibility of marrying Angeli before she said "I do" to Damone. Still, those who knew Dean claimed that his feelings for Angeli weren’t "romantic or sexual love." It was said to be more of an "emotional connection" and "a deep friendship." 

One pal even claimed that they never had "a physical relationship" and instead, the pair were often heard "arguing with one another very loudly."

Six months into their courtship, Dean asked Angeli to marry him in 1954, Vogue reported. She said yes. But two days later she turned him down after her mother reportedly forbade the union. Damone was Italian American and a Catholic. 

Dean was "devastated," according to the outlet.

Angeli and Damone parted ways in 1958. She remarried to orchestra conductor Armando Trovajoli in 1962. That marriage ended in 1969.

Angeli died in 1971 from an accidental barbiturate overdose. She was 39. According to the outlet, Angeli wrote to a friend two months before her death, "I don’t think any man can save me now. I think it may be too late. I think I was meant to live and die alone. Love is far away, somewhere deep inside of me. My love died at the wheel of a Porsche."

'50S IDOL TROY DONAHUE FOUND HIMSELF HOMELESS IN NEW YORK BEFORE HOLLYWOOD COMEBACK, BOOK SAYS: 'LONELY SOUL'

Colavito said it’s "very difficult" to say for certain what Dean and Angeli’s relationship was really like.

"Stories change wildly over time," he pointed out. "Pier herself would eventually [say] that she felt that James Dean was her true love and that there had never been a more perfect union than the two of them.

"Now, she didn’t say anything like that at the time. There’s no evidence from anyone who spoke with them that there was anything like that going on during the few months that they were together."

"But over time… memories fade and people become more and more romantic about their pasts," he shared. "And because of the hardships that she had experienced in life, she came to idealize that time as her perfect lost love."

Patrick Mahomes kept the promise he made to his wife, Brittany, as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday afternoon, 29-10.

Brittany Mahomes is pregnant with the couple’s third child and is due very soon. The star quarterback said he told her the Chiefs would get the top seed in the playoffs so she could have the baby with him being there instead of on the football field.

"I told my wife, my pregnant wife, I was gonna get the No. 1 seed so we can go have that baby," he told Netflix’s Stacey Dales. "We got the one seed."

Brittany Mahomes was watching the game with her children and other family members. She responded to her husband’s comments on her Instagram Stories.

"Always keeping his promises," she wrote in a post.

RAVENS ROUT TEXANS ON CHRISTMAS, INCH CLOSER TO DIVISION TITLE

Kansas City moved to 15-1 on the season. They have one more game on Jan. 5, and it doesn’t appear the team will put their starters out there for the whole game.

The wild-card portion of the playoffs begin Jan. 11 with the divisional round. In theory, Mahomes could have a lot of time off to be with his wife as she gets ready for their next child to be born.

The Chiefs have had a wild season filled with injuries and some off-field turmoil. The team has only scored 30 points once in a game and yet still have only one loss.

A chance for three straight Super Bowls is alive and well.

Despite a recurring sense of dread, "Saturday Night Live" star Colin Jost has likely become accustomed to telling merciless jokes at his wife Scarlett Johansson's expense in the annual joke swap in which he and "Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che recite jokes they have written for each other during the show's news segment – supposedly without seeing them in advance.

What Jost may not have been prepared for this year was Johansson's presence backstage, as she was forced to watch her husband take jabs in real-time, with the camera cutting between the couple. The actress appeared on "SNL" to welcome host Martin Short into the prestigious Five-Timers club, which she joined in 2017. Before going into jokes about his wife, however, Jost read racist jokes written for him by Che, as has happened in years past.

"Time out. Before we do this, I know Michael is gonna make me tell some racist jokes like he always does," Jost started. "So this time, if you don't mind, I'd like to read all the jokes in ‘Black voice,’ so I don't get in trouble."

SCARLETT JOHANSSON JOKES THAT PRENUP REQUIRES HUSBAND COLIN JOST TO APPEAR IN ALL HER FILMS

"So sorry in advance," he told the audience before delivering a joke about Vice President Kamala Harris and slavery reparations. "Y'all know my girl Kamala Harris held a town hall talking about [how] she still supports the idea of slavery reparations. Well, damn, girl. Me too. Cuz White people deserve our money back for all those slaves that ran away," he said, visibly horrified by the remark. "Shiz. I ain't afraid of you mofos," a pained Jost read through laughter.

The next joke focused on Jost's wife, but he continued speaking in "Black voice" throughout the segment.

"I want to dedicate this next joke to my boo, Scarlett Johansson," Jost said. The camera then cut to Johansson backstage watching the taping. Clutching her drink, Johansson winced as she prepared for the inevitable.

"No! Oh my god, she's so genuinely worried," Jost said, before delivering the joke. "Hey boo. Y'all know Scarlett just celebrated her 40th birthday. Which means I'm about to get up out of there."

"Why?" Johansson could be heard saying when the camera cut back on her. "Shiz," Jost continued, in hysterics. "Nah, nah. I"m just playin'. We just had a kid together, and y'all ain't see no pictures of him yet cuz he Black as hell," he said, referencing the couple's son, Cosmo. "Shiz. I ain't afraid of you mofos," he repeated.

"Oh s---," Johansson said, the camera back on her, taking a swig of her drink.

Last year, Jost was forced to joke about his wife's acting prowess. "New York State now allows movie theaters to sell alcohol," Jost read. "Which is how I’m finally able to enjoy my wife’s little art movies," he said as a picture of Johansson in the Marvel film "Black Widow" appeared on the screen. "I’m kidding, honey. I love all of your movies. And if you ask me, you’re an even better ‘Black Widow’ than Coretta Scott King," he said while cringing. 

Five months ago, Johansson admitted on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" that watching the segment had been tough. "It's so bad. I black out for that period of the night," she joked. "I actually don't remember it."

"It is brutal. I feel like every year it gets worse. It's just terrible."

The couple has been married since 2020 after reconnecting during a 2017 episode of the sketch comedy show.
