Christine Baumgartner’s Fiancé Josh Connor Listed Montecito Home Before Engagement

Christine Baumgartner’s new fiancé Josh Connor is clearly all about new beginnings … ’cause TMZ has learned he’s listed his Montecito, CA home.

Josh’s 5-bed, 5-bath, 2,899-square-foot pad hit the market for $7.3 million earlier this month … not long before Josh got down on one knee and proposed to Christine on last Sunday.

If he sells the home for the asking price he’ll make a nice profit considering he snagged it for $2.2M in March 2022.

Josh’s house is 7.5 miles from Christine’s ex-husband Kevin Costner’s Carpinteria pad, and with Kevin previously being their mutual friend, it’s possible Josh and Christine want to give themselves some distance to dodge any potential awkward run-ins.

Christine shares 3 kids with Kevin, while Josh has 2 of his own with his ex — so a little more room might be needed too … especially with a marriage coming up between the two less than a year after Christine’s divorce was finalized.
