(Radar) - Kevin Costner’s wife is determined to maintain the “extraordinary” lifestyle for herself and their three children and she wants her movie star hubby to dig deep into his pockets to pay for it, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.
The bombshell in-your-face claim is laid bare in an 8-page declaration by Christina Costner who slapped the Dances with Wolves star with divorce papers in May and is hunkering down inside his prized $145 million compound in Carpinteria, California until she gets what she wants.
“I realize that our lifestyle is extraordinary,” she gloats in the June 16, 2023, declaration seeking to invalidate the iron clad prenup that only requires Costner to pay $38,000 in child support.
“If I were to recreate our lifestyle today the costs would be much higher given the increase in the real estate market,” she said to convince a Santa Barbara County judge to jack up the child support payments to $248k a month.
Costner’s wife of 18-years says she cooks for their three kids, ages 13, 14 and 16, and shuttles them to various school and extracurricular activities – but the rest of the hard work is done by servants.
“Our children's lifestyle has been supported by a. A house manager who supports and assists with the logistics of the children's activities, b. A person who assists with grocery shopping and meal preparation; and c. A housekeeper who assists with cleaning and laundry,” she notes in the declaration.
“My primary goal is to make sure that our children continue to thrive and, when they are with me, to live in a home and lifestyle at least somewhat comparable to that of their father.”
Costner has accused his estranged wife of using his treasured compound as leverage during the fistfight to nix the pre-marital agreement.
