00:00 Kevin Costner will probably hate his ex-wife Christine Bongartner's rumored new career move.
00:05 After a long summer of battling it out in court, Kevin Costner wrapped up his divorce from Christine Bongartner.
00:10 The 49-year-old handbag designer testified during the hearing that she was going to have to get a job outside the home to support herself after the split.
00:18 Well, there's a rumor that Bravo TV might have quite the career opportunity for her, and Costner will probably hate the idea.
00:24 The Hollywood gossip is going into overdrive with claims that producers of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are interested in Bongartner joining the cast for season 14, according to the National Enquirer via Radar Online.
00:36 Producers are eyeing Christine with keen interest, seeing her as a captivating addition that could inject a fresh dose of vigor into the tired reality series, A Source Dished.
00:45 Her affiliation with a Hollywood legend grants her a certain allure, adding an extra layer of intrigue to her potential role on the show.
00:51 The reality TV insider believes that Bongartner has just the right mix of status and personality to shake things up in the 90,210.
00:59 "She's a potent blend of beauty, financial prowess, and a Rolodex stocked with A-list names," they continued.
01:05 This would place her on a pedestal above the current ensemble.
01:08 They feel that this casting coup would be bigger than when Harry Hamlin's wife, Lisa Rinna, joined the show.
01:13 Brace yourself, a second source chimed in.
01:15 Bravo TV wants fans to put the brakes on, though.
01:18 An insider at the network told Radar Online that it was "a bit premature" to talk casting.
01:23 As for right now, the producers have not reached out to anyone at this stage because they are too busy with the upcoming season 13 premiere.
01:30 And remember, Bongartner is currently a resident of Montecito.
01:34 She lives nowhere near Los Angeles right now.
01:36 Viewers will have to wait and see if the rumor becomes a reality, but for Costner, it might just be a nightmare ahead of him.
01:42 He settled his divorce, but Bongartner's next chapter might involve airing a bit of the A-lister's dirty laundry.
01:48 According to Radar Online, Costner may soon face a reputational challenge regarding his sexual prowess due to his ex-wife's alleged ongoing efforts to speak negatively about their past sexual experiences.
01:59 The actor and Bongartner were married for 18 years, up until the mother of three filed for divorce in May 2023.
02:06 The divorce was finalized in September.
02:08 Costner came up on top during the divorce proceedings and the support department, which lasted four months and made headlines all through the period.
02:14 Now, it seems that Bongartner is on a revenge mission to make him the locking stock of Hollywood by ruining his bad boy image.
02:21 Christine is reaping sweet revenge by trashing Kevin to anyone who will listen, saying he's a selfish lover who never satisfied her, a source shared.
02:29 It's amusing to people because Kevin has always prided himself on his reputation as a Don Juan.
02:33 The source also claimed that Bongartner was dissing Costner's sexual prowess to anyone who would listen because she felt "she got the short end of the stick money-wise."
02:41 It appears Bongartner had hoped that things would swing in her favor during the divorce proceedings and that the judge would throw out the prenup she signed when she married Costner in 2004.
02:50 However, it turned out otherwise after Costner's lawyers pulled out all the stops, including arguing that the actor was no longer receiving huge sums due to his exit from the Yellowstone series.
03:00 Ultimately, the prenup was upheld and the child support Bongartner requested was slashed from the original $248,000 to $63,000, with Bongartner losing out in her multiple court clashes with Costner.
03:13 She was allegedly advised by her lawyer to cut bait and run, i.e. settling out of court.
03:17 Details of the settlement between the former couple remain unknown.
03:21 However, it is believed that the Bongartner received $1.5 million, which was the amount agreed upon in the prenup, in addition to other undisclosed fees.
03:29 Following the finalization of their divorce, sources shared that Costner was over the moon, that he did not have to pay his ex more than what was necessary.
03:37 An insider claimed that the actor was privately jumping for joy that he came out on top, while another said, "It's not so much the money as exposing Christine as the gold digger he believes she's shown herself to be."
03:48 Meanwhile, one source noted that the entire ordeal took quite an emotional toll on Bongartner, saying it was a "living nightmare" and now the "mother of three" just wants to move on and start fresh and begin making her new house a home, per the Daily Mail.
04:01 Some other sources claimed that she regretted divorcing Costner when she was living the high life with unlimited funds at her disposal and everything paid for by her husband.
