Christine Baumgartner’s new fiancé, Josh Connor, appears to be embracing fresh beginnings as he prepares for their future together. TMZ has learned that Josh recently listed his Montecito, CA home for sale.
Josh’s five-bedroom, five-bathroom, 2,899-square-foot property hit the market earlier this month for a hefty $7.3 million price tag. The timing is interesting, as his listing came just before he proposed to Christine last Sunday. If he manages to sell at the asking price, he stands to make a significant profit, having originally purchased the home for $2.2 million in March 2022.
A glimpse into the luxurious estate reveals standout features, including a sprawling spa, lavish loungers, outdoor heaters, and even electric car charging stations—an ideal blend of comfort and modern convenience.
Interestingly, Josh’s residence sits just 7.5 miles from Christine’s ex-husband, Kevin Costner’s Carpinteria estate. Given Kevin’s past friendship with Josh, some speculate that the couple might be looking to create distance and avoid any potential awkward encounters.
Christine, who shares three children with Kevin, is preparing for a new chapter, while Josh has two children from a previous relationship. With their upcoming wedding and a blended family on the horizon, the couple may be looking for a home that better suits their growing needs.
Despite reaching out, neither Christine nor Josh have provided any comments on the sale or their future plans. For now, all eyes remain on the couple as they prepare to walk down the aisle.
