Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner are currently going through a messy celebrity divorce, with the division of legal bills and Costner making Baumgartner leave their home. Despite their differences, the former couple is still set to host the Kick Ash Bash event in September, created by the non-profit One805, at their former $60 million oceanside estate.
The Kick Ash Bash is a highly anticipated event with many A-listers scheduled to attend, and funds will be donated to first responders of Santa Barbara County, with Maroon 5 headlining the event. Despite their divorce, neither Costner nor Baumgartner wants to back out of hosting the event.
According to a close source, Baumgartner has always been involved in the community and is committed to helping out at schools and raising money for charities. Kevin Costner is reportedly aware that finding a suitable place to rent in the community will be more costly than what he was originally offering Baumgartner.
The couple was together for four years before getting married on September 25, 2004. The event being hosted on the month of their 19th wedding anniversary adds another layer of awkwardness to the situation. Despite their personal differences, it seems that both Costner and Baumgartner are willing to put them aside to fulfill their hosting commitments and support the charitable cause of the Kick Ash Bash event.
