Christine Baumgartner<\/strong> is officially off the market again. The 51-year-old handbag designer and ex-wife of Oscar-winning actor Kevin Costner<\/strong> has tied the knot with financier Josh Connor<\/strong> \u2014 a man who, once upon a time, was a close friend of Costner himself.<\/p>\n The newlyweds said \u201cI do\u201d in a sunset ceremony on Saturday at the stunning Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard in Santa Barbara, California. According to\u00a0People, around 100 guests, including a mix of family, lifelong friends, and the couple\u2019s children, gathered to celebrate their love story, which has quietly bloomed over the past year.<\/p>\n The newlyweds said \u201cI do\u201d in a sunset ceremony on Saturday at the stunning Santa Ynez Ranch.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n Guests described the atmosphere as \u201cmagical\u201d and \u201cintimate,\u201d with golden light spilling over the rolling vineyard hills just as Baumgartner walked down the aisle. She wore a dreamy Mira Zwillinger gown featuring hand-embroidered flowers and a romantic sweetheart neckline. Later, she slipped into a chic, strapless white satin Lihi Hod dress for the evening reception.<\/p>\n Connor looked every bit the dashing groom in a tailored black tuxedo, keeping things classic yet modern. \u201cIt was magical \u2014 truly,\u201d one guest told People. \u201cThe setting was gorgeous, but what made it special was the intimacy of it all. This wasn\u2019t a big production. It was authentic, heartfelt, and so very them.\u201d<\/p>\n Another guest added, \u201cChristine and Josh were glowing. The joy and laughter were infectious, from the welcome celebration on Friday night to the last dance Saturday evening.\u201d<\/p>\n Connor used to be neighbors with Baumgartner and Costner during the couple\u2019s nearly two-decade marriage. When Baumgartner filed for divorce in May 2023 after 18 years together<\/a>, Connor was unexpectedly pulled into the headlines.<\/p>\n Lily Costner, Cayden Wyatt Costner, and Kevin Costner<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n The two were first photographed together that July during a Hawaii getaway with Baumgartner\u2019s three children<\/a> \u2014 Cayden<\/strong>, 18, Hayes<\/strong>, 16, and Grace<\/strong>, 15 \u2014 whom she shares with Costner. At the time, her lawyer maintained that the two were \u201cnothing more than friends.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n But love clearly had other plans. By January 2024, Baumgartner and Connor were engaged after a romantic beach proposal in Santa Barbara<\/a>. A source told People that the couple was \u201cover the moon and excited for their future together.\u201d<\/p>\n After a year of public scrutiny, legal battles, and speculation, the designer has turned the page.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/horizon\/original_aspect_ratio\/dcae034e9b2c-gettyimages-2166339929.jpg\")
