Kevin Costner fights with a tenant… too close to his wife?

The drama continues for Kevin Costner and his rather tumultuous divorce, as we now hear of a violent argument between Costner and a man… who allegedly spent far too much time with his wife!

According to Page Six and The Sun, a few months before Costner’s wife of 18 years, Christine Baumgartner, filed for divorce, Costner allegedly had a violent confrontation with a man who rented their seaside vacation home… and the object of their dispute was none other than Baumgartner!

Daniel Starr, the founder of a mobile games company, had been living since June 2022 in a luxurious house rented from Costner and his wife Christine, located close to the actor’s main residence.

While the first few weeks had gone wonderfully well between the three, becoming very close, Costner’s wife and Starr reportedly continued to spend a lot of time together when Costner was back on set.

According to Page Six, at one point Christine was visiting Starr’s rented residence almost every day!

But… something happened that didn’t sit well with the actor’s wife, and when he was made aware of the situation, things quickly escalated!

Baumgartner would have liked to see Starr leave the residence, as she wouldn’t have liked his attitude, suddenly, Page Six still reports.

Did Starr try to get closer to Costner’s wife… or was there any intimate closeness between the two during the actor’s extended absences?

This saga is far from over!

Taylor Swift snubs Canada again!

Taylor Swift’s Canadian fans are clearly looking forward to seeing her live, and while the singer has just announced a series of international concerts as part of The Eras Tour, many Canadians have taken to social media to express their frustration at once again being left out in the cold!

While this announcement should have been a joyous one for the star’s fans at first, the hashtag #CriesinCanadian quickly reappeared on Twitter in protest from her Canadian fans, along with several other viral terms, starting with Where Is Canada!

“I had hopes for possible dates in CANADA but I guess not… #CriesinCanadian 😭,” one fan of the star sadly tweeted on Twitter.

“I’ll be right back… #CriesinCanadian #Taylorswiftconcert,” wrote another.

Even McDonald’s Canada joined the protest!

“So, I thought the #CriesinCanadian hashtag was because a famous Canadian icon passed away or something, but nope, just people sad that Taylor Swift’s tour isn’t coming here,” noted one Twitter subscriber, who surely also thinks there are more important things than that!

Well…

But still, Taylor, when are you going to announce the Canadian tour dates?
