Josh complemented her style in a black ensemble accented with a Los Angeles Dodgers cap and a stylish scarf, marking a moment of new beginnings for Christine after her 18-year marriage to the Yellowstone star.

This outing occurred just days after Kevin, 69, shared his struggles with the production of his acclaimed show Yellowstone. 

In an honest revelation, he discussed the impact of their divorce on his professional life, particularly how the show's production "imploded" amid allegations of feuding with creator Taylor Sheridan. 

Kevin expressed his dedication to the project despite the rumors and noted the complexities of renegotiating his contract under these stressful conditions.

"There was no script," Kevin explained in a candid interview with Deadline. "And then things imploded. I have taken a beating from those guys and I know a lot of times where it’s coming from. I just elected not to get into that. But if you know me well enough, I made Yellowstone the first priority, and to insinuate anything else would be wrong."

Meanwhile, Christine's new relationship with Josh appears to be a source of strength and joy. 

Their connection, blossoming just four months after her divorce, has quickly deepened, highlighted by a romantic getaway to Hawaii over the Christmas period. 

Josh, also a divorced father of three, became legally single just before their relationship began, adding a layer of shared understanding between them.

Josh, a respected figure in the financial world, serves as a managing director and co-portfolio manager at Oaktree Capital, specializing in transportation sector investments. His professional acumen and stability seem to complement Christine's life beautifully, as they navigate this new chapter together.

The divorce settlement between Christine and Kevin, while kept private, reportedly honored their prenuptial agreement, with Christine receiving substantial child support. 

Despite the complexities of their separation, both have prioritized co-parenting their three children: Cayden, 16; Hayes, 14; and Grace, 13.
