The Cast Of Yellowstone: Who Are Their Significant Others In Real Life?

Ask anyone, "Yellowstone" is a hit. The Paramount Network drama debuted in 2018 and, according to Deadline, quickly became the second most-watched cable show, barely trailing behind "The Walking Dead," scoring over 5 million viewers on its premiere episode alone. A modern-day western, "Yellowstone" tells the tale of the Dutton family, whose patriarch (played by Kevin Costner) owns the largest cattle ranch in the United States.

While the Duttons mostly concern themselves with fending off land developers, local Indian reservations, and national parks, they also engage in a fair amount of romance, from Rip and Beth to Jimmy and Mia. After all, what good show doesn't have a romantic plot line or two? However, since the show returns for Season 4 in the fall of 2021, as per Paramount, many fans are wondering if the "Yellowstone" stars are romantically involved in real life. So, we answer that question for you here. Keep reading for a look at the cast of "Yellowstone" and their real-life significant others.

Yellowstone star and A-list actor Kevin Costner is married to designer Christine Baumgartner

As listed on IMDb, actor Kevin Costner stars in "Yellowstone" as John Dutton, the head of the family and the owner of Yellowstone Dutton Ranch. On the show, Dutton has been widowed for many years, as his wife died before the show's timeline began. In real life, however, Costner is happily married to designer Christine Baumgartner. As per People, the actor was married to Cindy Silva until they divorced in 1994. Following his divorce, he met Baumgartner first while golfing and once again in 1998, which is when they started dating. "We exchanged numbers, and I [asked], did she mind if I called her in two weeks," Costner told People. "I did not realize that was like an insult to a woman."

Despite that "insult" and the close to 20-year age gap between the two, Baumgartner and Costner dated until they married in September of 2004. The publication also reported that their wedding ceremony and reception took place at the actor's ranch in Colorado, at which Costner arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. According to a close friend who spoke to People, Baumgartner and Costner are like "little kids together, really in love."

Yellowstone creator, director, and actor Taylor Sheridan's wife Nicole is an IRL cowgirl

Taylor Sheridan is no stranger to both sides of the camera. The writer, director, and actor is not only creator, director, and producer of "Yellowstone," but, according to IMDb, he's also appeared in three episodes as Travis Wheatley, a local horsetrader. In real life, he's married to Nicole Sheridan, formerly Nicole Muirbrook. As per her IMDb page, Nicole has her own acting career, with appearances in shows like "Dark Blue" and "How I Met Your Mother." And, she's even a cowgirl, too! The actress and mother posted a photo of herself on Instagram, herding cows on horseback, complete with a flannel shirt and cowboy hat. Is it a coincidence that a man who created a show about cowboys married a cowgirl? Maybe, but probably not.

Nicole and their family are also a main source of his motivation. "I imagined jumping forward seven years when I found out my wife was pregnant, and living in some little two-bedroom apartment in West Hollywood," he explained to Deadline when asked about his motivation to become a writer. "That's not living by example."

Yellowstone actress Kelly Reilly married Kyle Baugher in England

British actress Kelly Reilly ditches her accent to play Beth Dutton on "Yellowstone." Beth is John Dutton's daughter, though she shows no real interest in ranch life — except when it comes to the attractive ranch hand Rip Wheeler. In real life, Reilly is happily married to Kyle Baugher. According to Parade, Baugher is not an actor, but a financier. The publication also reported that the pair got engaged in 2012 and were married in Somerset, England that same year.

Though they've been married for some time, there is little known about Reilly's life with Baugher, as the couple appears to be very private. However, from what fans can glean from social media, they do seem quite happy together. For example, Reilly posted a romantic snap of her and her husband snuggled up together on a beach back in 2018. She captioned the Instagram post with, "My favourite human." Aww.

Luke Grimes, who plays Kayce on Yellowstone, married model Bianca Rodrigues in 2018

Though he shot to stardom through his work in "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "American Sniper," Luke Grimes has been making recent headlines for starring as Kayce Dutton in "Yellowstone," as per IMDb. Kayce is the son of ranch owner John Dutton, but his main roles in the story are those of ranch hand and husband to Monica Long. Much to fans' chagrin, heartthrob Grimes is also married in real life to Brazilian model Bianca Rodrigues Grimes (via Parade). The pair married on November 21, 2018.

Rodrigues Grimes has quite the following on social media, with almost 200,000 followers, as of this writing, on her Instagram alone. Though her large following might be because of her frequent — and stunning — bikini posts, it also might be for her many shots of her and her hubby. For example, the model posted a gorgeous black-and-white photo of her and Grimes on their anniversary, captioning it, "Happy anniversary anjo. Te amo!"

Cole Hauser, Yellowstone's Rip Wheeler, and his 'Sweet' wife have three kids together

According to IMDb, Cole Hauser plays the ruggedly handsome ranch hand Rip Wheeler on "Yellowstone." Though a large part of his role on the show is the tumultuous love between Rip and Beth Dutton, Hauser's real love life is much more settled. As per Express, the actor has been married to Cynthia Daniel since 2006. Daniel is also an actor, seeing lots of success in hits like "The Basketball Diaries" and "Sweet Valley High," via IMDb. Express also reported that the couple has three kids, ​​named Ryland, Colt, and Steely Rose. The family enjoys a nice life, especially since the actor's net worth is not too shabby.

Hauser seems to have found the perfect balance between a successful career and a happy home life. "I am pretty good about compartmentalizing working and family. They are two of my biggest passions. I am not the kind of guy who forgets about them," he told Havok Journal (via Express). "I am always making time for each and every one of my children and also my wife, also, as a family together." Sounds like a good guy!

Yellowstone star Ryan Bingham filed for divorce from his wife of over a decade in 2021

On "Yellowstone," country singer and actor Ryan Bingham plays Walker, an ex-convict who gets lots of second chances to turn things around for himself on the Dutton ranch, as per IMDb.

Express also noted that Axster even directed a few of Bingham's music videos as well as the hit indie flick "A Country Called Home."

Unfortunately, as per a report from The Blast, Bingham filed for divorce from Axster in June of 2021. This is pretty sad news, especially considering this interview with Texas Highways (via Express), where Bingham said that his wife and family made him feel "whole." "When I met my wife we were both vagabonds, just roaming around the country. Then we got a place in LA, and it was the first time I ever had my name on a lease. I had an address!" he explained. "When we got the keys and went inside, I just cried."

Wes Bentley's marriage helps the Yellowstone actor stay sober

Before Wes Bentley starred in "Yellowstone" as Jamie Dutton, he struggled with serious addiction. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actor hit rock bottom in 2009 when he pled guilty to a heroin possession charge and his work started to suffer. "I wasn't bringing my A game to any of [the movies]," he told the publication of that time. "I don't know if I was bringing my B game. I just kind of didn't care and [was] coasting." Back then, Bentley was married to actress Jennifer Quanz, but they divorced in 2009 because of his addiction, as the publication noted.

However, as per The Hollywood Reporter, the actor began to turn things around by going to rehab. Bentley also found intense motivation to stay sober: his current wife, Jacqui Swedberg, whom he married in 2010. The couple had a son soon thereafter. "I've been given this second chance," he told The Hollywood Reporter. "And I'm going to do everything I can with it."
