Rumors are swirling in Tinselton, suggesting that the stunning Christine Baumgartner, estranged wife of Hollywood heartthrob Kevin Costner, might be stepping into the glitzy world of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.” However, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that diamonds for Season 14 haven’t been dealt yet.
“It’s a bit premature to talk casting,” a well-placed insider revealed, emphasizing that producers have not initiated discussions with potential cast members, especially with Season 13 still on the horizon.
The buzz about Baumgartner’s potential debut on Bravo’s hit show was ignited by the National Enquirer, which cited a source claiming that producers see her as a captivating addition who could infuse new life into the show. “Her connection to a Hollywood legend gives her a certain mystique, adding an extra layer of fascination to her potential role,” the source stated.
Hollywood insiders are already abuzz with excitement. A Bravo insider dished, “She’s a potent blend of beauty, financial prowess, and a Rolodex stocked with A-list names. This would place her on a pedestal above the current ensemble.”
Should Bravo extend an offer to Baumgartner, she wouldn’t be the first RHOBH star with a famous significant other link. “While Lisa Rinna’s connection to Harry Hamlin was a coup, let’s face it, Kevin’s star power outshines Harry’s by a mile!” the insider added. Even Sheree Zampino, ex-wife of Will Smith, made appearances on the show last season.
However, RadarOnline.com’s source advises fans not to jump to conclusions just yet. The potential casting is still up in the air.
If the cameras roll on Baumgartner’s post-divorce life, there could be some spicy revelations in store. Following a judge’s order for Costner to pay her a monthly support of $63k, insiders claim she’s not holding back in her critiques of their intimate history.
“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 spilled. “It’s amusing to people because Kevin has always prided himself on his reputation as a Don Juan. But Christine’s totally blowing that image. She’s on a mission to make him the laughingstock of Hollywood — and she may be succeeding.”
Costner and Baumgartner tied the knot in 2004 after Costner’s divorce from his first wife, Cindy Silva. Baumgartner, at 49, filed for divorce in May, and the ex-couple reached a settlement before the case reached trial, with a judge upholding a modest prenup. If she chooses to contest it, she would be required to cover her ex-husband’s legal fees and return the $1.5 million he paid her after their split.
The couple has three children together: Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13. Keep an eye out for further updates on this unfolding story!
