“Months before separation, although the parties had always leased their automobiles, without [Costner’s] knowledge or consent, [Christine] bought an expensive vehicle for her personal use (probably because the [prenuptial agreement] allows her to take that vehicle with her),” the documents read.
“Thus, it appears that [Christine] had been planning her exit long before she told [Costner] in April 2023.”

The filing also claimed Christine “has shown a disturbing propensity in the last several months, both before and after separation, to take Respondent’s property without his knowledge or consent, especially since this case was filed.”
In her response, Christine said Costner’s “request includes a myriad of false statements that are no doubt included to play to the press and ‘smear’ me in the media. I will not address each one.”
When their breakup made headlines in April, a Costner rep said in a statement that “circumstances beyond his control have transpired” that led to the divorce filing. A source then told PEOPLE the divorce “wasnot anything that [Costner] wanted or sought, and if he could change the situation, he would.”
