Kevin Costner in Divorce Court: Tearful Ex Takes Stand With New Claims

Explosive is one way to describe Kevin Costner's bitter divorce battle. Mr. Costner, is there any comment you'd like to give so far with Entertainment Tonight? Today, he showed up to this Santa Barbara courthouse in person for the first time to protect his estimated $400 million fortune. No comment you want to give to Christine? According to our eyewitness, inside, Kevin's demeanor seemed relaxed at first, but then he, quote, seemed irritated and visibly shook his head when Christine's attorney said he should pay for both of their attorney fees. Christine took the stand at times in tears in hopes of increasing Kevin's monthly child support payments to more than $160,000 for their three kids. But did Kevin purposely quit TV's number one show Yellowstone to avoid paying more? That's what Christine's lawyer speculate may have happened saying he, quote, refused to answer whether he was offered the opportunity to continue on or if he simply chose to quit. The nasty name calling continued in Kevin's new filing today. His lawyers accuse Christine of engaging in a, quote, relentless jihad against him. He also claims an unnamed boyfriend recently gave her $20,000. Do you have a timeline of when you want to wrap this all up? Drama also seems to be escalating between Britney Spears and Sam Asghari. 15 days after Sam filed for divorce, he has now unfollowed Britney on Instagram. Britney still follows Sam, so he would have missed Britney's latest post which she says was taken in Mexico. This is a report surface claiming Britney believes Sam was secretly feeding her estranged dad, Jamie Spears, intel behind her back. However, a source tells ET that rumor is, quote, not true and cannot be substantiated. And five years after Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux split, he was just spotted out with what could be a new lady in his life, 29-year-old actress Nicole Briden Bloom. The two were spotted grabbing dinner in New York City as an eyewitness tells ET they were, quote, kissing at the dinner table and appeared to be very comfortable with each other. So who is Nicole Briden Bloom? She is the daughter of the late NBC journalist David Bloom and will appear in season two of The Gilded Age. But not everyone online is a fan of their 23-year age gap. Justin's 52. Some users even thought she was his daughter. Yes, dad.
