Kevin Costner’s former tenant Daniel Starr shut down rumors that he was romantically involved with the actor’s estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner — and wished the pair well amid their divorce.“They’re going through a divorce.

They have kids, I feel really badly,” Starr told TMZ on Wednesday, June 21. “I hope that they can peacefully resolve that.”Starr raised eyebrows earlier this month when rumors circulated that he and Baumgartner, 49, had an inappropriate relationship while the real estate developer was renting a home on the estranged couple’s property in Santa Barbara, California. (The Sun reported on Monday, June 19, that the handbag designer allegedly hung out with Starr on a nearly-daily basis after he moved in next door.)When confronted about the alleged hookup on Wednesday, Starr claimed the rumors were “absolutely not” true.

He insisted he was “just a guy who paid [his] rent.”The former tenant, who moved out in March despite having rental agreement through June, alleged that he simply “had to move on” and chose to leave early.Starr then called Costner, 68, “a really good guy” and was adamant that he had “no problem with him whatsoever.” When pushed further, Starr once again claimed that he and Baumgartner were “absolutely not” involved in a romantic relationship.“I just was a tenant.

I had a tenant-landlord relationship [with the former couple]. Nothing else,” he alleged, noting that he tries to “be friendly to everybody” but doesn’t “have a relationship” with Costner at the moment.Starr concluded: “I just want peace for everyone.”News of Baumgartner’s alleged affair came one month after Us Weekly confirmed on May 2 that she filed for divorce from the Yellowstone star after nearly 19 years of marriage.In her
