Kevin Costner took the stand<\/a> Friday in his ongoing divorce battle with estranged wife Christine Baumgartner.<\/p>\n

Baumgartner’s legal team began questioning Costner specifically about his finances and his total expenses for himself and the couple’s three children.<\/p>\n

Both Costner and Baumgartner are present at Friday’s hearing.<\/p>\n

Thursday’s court hearing saw Baumgartner break down in tears while Costner’s legal team threw insults in surprise court documents filed that same morning. The “Yellowstone” actor’s legal team accused Baumgartner of a “relentless \u2018jihad\u2019” against Costner’s character in the documents obtained by Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“Christine’s relentless \u2018jihad\u2019 against Kevin’s character adds a level of animosity to this proceeding that is wholly unnecessary, and meant to distract from the intellectual exercise at hand,” the docs stated.<\/p>\n

Baumgartner formally requested<\/a> a judge set a new monthly child support payment of $161,592 on Thursday amid the ongoing divorce proceedings. The new number is $31,837 more than the original set amount of $129,755.<\/p>\n

Costner’s legal team also accused Baumgartner of receiving $20,000 from a “boyfriend” in the new court documents. However, Baumgartner revealed she had received the $20,000 from Joshua Connor in court Thursday.<\/p>\n

On the stand, Baumgartner said Connor is a longtime friend of “7 or 8 years.” When Baumgartner’s attorney John Rydell asked, “Is he your boyfriend?” Baumgartner replied, “No.”<\/p>\n

Christine filed for divorce<\/u><\/a> from the “Fields of Dreams” star in May after 18 years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences.”<\/p>\n

In her request for the updated child support, her lawyers argued that Costner is “a man of extraordinary wealth.”<\/p>\n

“Unlike many family law litigants, Kevin can pay guideline child support, as well as make a further contribution to Christine’s fees, without it making any meaningful difference in his life,” docs stated.<\/p>\n

Costner’s legal team fired back days later and accused Baumgartner of “game playing.” They also requested a court order Baumgartner pay $14,237.50 in his attorneys’ fees for having to file the motion to compel her new request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
