Kevin Costner seems in trouble after new ruling

Kevin Costner seems to be in hot water as a judge has ordered him to pay his estranged wife Christine Baumgartner $129K per month in child support.

The 68-year-old Yellowstone star, who's a recipient of various accolades, is on the hook for six-digit monthly payments after a judge ruled on a tentative child support arrangement.

Costner had already sought to pay almost $52k to his ex-wife though it is also only a little over half of what she had been asking for.

The decision is only tentative and will be reassessed at a later hearing, according to  the court documents. It comes after Baumgartner was ordered to vacate Costner's mansion by July 31.

The decision stipulates that both Costner and his estranged wife with split their children's healthcare costs 50–50. The two share three children: sons Cayden, 15; and Hayes, 14; along with their younger daughter Grace, 13.

The details of the pair's prenuptial agreement reportedly required her to move out within 30 days of either party filing for a divorce, a deadline she had missed after she was the first to file.

The 49-year-old previously said in court filings that she would leave the estate on August 31, following the results of a court date originally scheduled for July 12, though it is unclear if that hearing is still on the books.

In the documents, Baumgartner agreed to vacate the premises at the end of August as long as Costner complied 'with whatever support and fee orders that the court makes on July 12,' according to TMZ.

Kevin Costner is reportedly lining up Prince Harry's wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, for a sequel to his hit movie The Bodyguard. He previously had talks with Princess Diana about the same role.

The legendary star is reportedly pitching the sequel and a source claims Meghan is interested in the project.
