This is not his first divorce. And they didn't make the 400M over their years together - he brought that into the marriage and should rightly keep all of it, including the growth. She traded her looks for a seat at the table in Costnerworld. She should have never left. I'm sure she's realizing that now. I like that Wasser & Co. keeps pressing her on the fact that she doesn't plan to get a job. Shows her true colors.

She's always been a FT SAHM, which presumably he also wanted. Makes zero sense to change this at a vulnerable moment in the kids' lives.

That was her choice. I suspect she is doing it now vs 5 years from now because she thought she’d have a better chance to challenge the prenup when the kids were still minors.

I have a different theory. Costner’s income will decrease now that he has walked away from Yellowstone. She filed for divorce now because the Yellowstone income is still on the table for calculation purposes. In 2024, his income will be his investments only and therefore less support for her.

Yellowstone is done though. How would that be on the table for calculation purposes for the next several years worth of CS?

Makes sense, but she still looks like a gold digger. #TeamCostner FTW

She was very young and pretty and in love with him. At that stage of the relationship, she probably didn't realize how controlling and determined he is. There doesn't appear to have been an affair with someone else on her part; and they were married for 20 years with 3 kids, so I can't imagine why he's treating her this way.
Her rental home isn't inexpensive, but there's nothing exceptional about it by DCUM standards or for the ex-wife of a guy worth $400 million.

She was almost 30. Not “very young.”

PP here. It's "very young" to me, plus there was an 18 year difference between them. Regardless of what she should have or didn't do, Kevin Costner's true ungenerous self is being observed by the world.

Christine isn’t exactly doing herself any favors.

Neither is Mr. Kevin Costner. Worth 400 million dollars and giving his wife of 20 years 1.5 million towards a new home?! Yep, we get it.

She was familiar with the prenup she signed when she chose to exit the marriage. Why is this news to her?

I have no idea why she couldn't figure out that he was miserly and cheap -- from the first small engagement ring that Joan Rivers mocked and thought was a joke -- to his offer of 1.5 million for a home.

I think most people's objection to the prenup is that this sum was decent 20 years ago but needs to be updated for today's market.

Yeah, seems her biggest gripe is housing and rightly so.

Not rightly so. She refused his over to put the downpayment on a house and to pay 100% of the kids expenses. That would have left her with her 1.5M to invest and her 60k in CS to pay for her mtg and spend on herself. Instead she got greedy and tried to fight for almost 3x as much CS and to break the prenup.

You really think that's a fair offer from a husband with a net worth of 400 million?

Regardless, I'm honestly surprised there isn't a standard clause to update these sums with reference to inflation.

The amount adjusted for inflation would be about $2.5m, which I’m sure she would still find insufficient.

I think the housing market is a different animal. She could probably show that a $1m house twenty years ago equates to a $~10m house now.

Lol. On what planet do you live on that houses went 10x since 2004?

Welcome to California babe.

Outside of extreme examples, California real estate overall has not 10x since 2014, you nut. Maybe since the 70s.

It want done until Costner said he did not want to do another season. They are still trying to figure out if they can do a season without him. I don’t think they can. Her divorce announcement came after he decided he was t doing another season. Heck, maybe she thought he would be around the house too much now that he wasn’t working on the show.

^was’t done

If she filed after he said he was done, then his Yellowstone money wouldn’t be on the table since the courts would know he wouldn’t have that income stream anymore. The PP’s theory would have made sense if he hadn’t left the show.

Dp- no they are right. Posters here are completely clueless about the difference in California real estate. And yes we are talking about extreme examples. These are literally the most extreme examples. Duh.

She's quite basic but I do feel sorry for her. The lifestyle wasn't worth the bad husband.
