As information about Christine Baumgartner's court appearance emerges, Sharon Stone enters the Kevin Costner divorce and criticizes her ex-husband, Phil Bronstein, saying he "thought the same" as Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner. Christine is fighting for $160,000 per month in child support. The remark was made on an Instagram post detailing Christine's court appearance on Thursday, August 31, when the 49-year-old talked about the lifestyle her two kids and daughter had grown accustomed to as the offspring of the Yellowstone star. The Basic Instinct actress retweeted the message.
Christine, 49, appeared in court to request a higher sum of $161,592, which was a decrease of over $14,000 from the initial request of $175,057 per month in child support. Christine is presently getting $129K a month in child support. Christine allegedly started crying in court as she described the lifestyle her teenage daughters were used to and told the judge, "It's so much more than this — it's an experience." She said of the house they had built together in Santa Barbara, "We've created quite a community," revealing that she works on crafts with her kids in what they call the "surf garage," and detailing their time spent together on the volleyball court, in the garden.
Her attorneys continued on her behalf by stating that living in luxury is "in their DNA at this point". Comment made by Sharon Stone on an Instagram post With Instagram This remark was made by Sharon on an Instagram post. Sharon replied, "My ex thought the same," and added a laughing emoji in reaction to the allegations. In 1998, Sharon wed newspaper editor Phil, and the couple adopted their son Roan in 2000. Roan's custody was awarded to Phil in 2008 after he filed for divorce in 2004. Later, after the actress adopted two more kids, Roan relocated to Los Angeles to live with his mother, brothers, and other family members. What, if any, child support Sharon gave to Phil is unknown.
Kevin, 68, was compelled to refute Christine's allegations of extramarital romances when Christine's attorneys asked for any evidence that showed "expenses paid by you, or any person at your request or on your behalf, relating to any extramarital romantic relationships." The actor for the film Yellowstone responded by denying having any "extramarital romantic relationships," and via his attorneys he added: "[Kevin] does not for a fact know if [Christine] engaged in any "extramarital romantic relationships" before separation and, if so, whether she spent any of his money or charged any expenses for her affair(s) on credit cards he paid."
According to Christine's team's recent forensic account analysis, Kevin has $17,293,117 in cash equivalents across "different accounts and organizations as of June 30, 2023, providing him with enough money to provide both his support and the attorneys' fees and charges for both sides.
