They spent Christmas in New York together last month, where it all began, indicating that those close to the couple were not shocked by the proposal. Both of them are ecstatic and looking forward to their future together, according to a report.

Christine and Josh have a very solid foundation because their relationship began as a friendship. She feels happy and supported in this new relationship; they share the same values, and they're incredibly in love. For Christine, it has been a very natural and constructive step forward, as quoted in a report by The NY Post.

Connor has an intriguing relationship with Baumgartner and Costner, as he was their neighbour during their marriage and was drawn into their acrimonious divorce dispute.
