Kevin Costner's bitter divorce from Christine Baumgartner is getting more challenging by the day and now, the couple's former tenant has made a statement too.
Real estate developer, Daniel Starr, spoke to TMZ after it was reported by The Sun that the actor confronted him about having a romantic relationship with his estranged wife.
David - who lived in the couple's beachfront guest house in Carpinteria - told the outlet: "They're going through a rough divorce, I'm sorry to hear about that," when he was approached outside a coffee shop near his home. "I feel really bad. I hope they can peacefully resolve it."

Christine, 49, filed for divorce from the Dances with Wolves star, 68, in May after 18 years of marriage citing "irreconcilable differences," and the couple's growing animosity towards each other has been revealed as they take their divorce to court.

Documents obtained by People include a request on behalf of the mom-of-three for "$248,000 total for all three children" a month from Kevin. Their kids are Cayden, 16, Hayes, 14, and Grace, 13.
