While “Yellowstone” has captivated fans with its high-stakes drama and fiery relationships, the stars’ real-life romances reveal another layer of intrigue. From long-lasting marriages to real-life love stories and surprising companions, meet the off-screen partners of the beloved series’ cast.”Yellowstone” has become a television phenomenon, with its gripping storylines and unforgettable characters keeping audiences hooked. The passionate relationships and family dynamics on the Dutton ranch form the heart of the show.
However, the actors’ lives beyond the camera are just as compelling. From quiet, long-standing partnerships to exciting new chapters, take a closer look at the off-screen connections that shape the lives of these talented actors.
Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison
On “Yellowstone,” actor Ryan Bingham plays Walker, a rugged cowboy and talented musician who adds depth to the bunkhouse. Actress Hassie Harrison portrays Laramie, a lively barrel racer whose vibrant personality stirs the pot among the ranch hands.
Off-screen, the pair’s connection goes beyond the show. In early April 2023, Bingham surprised fans by sharing a heartfelt moment on Instagram. The post featured a photo of the couple kissing, captioned, “More than a spark 🔥 @hassieharrison,” and confirming their real-life romance.
Cole Hauser
Cole Hauser has captivated audiences as Rip Wheeler on “Yellowstone,” the ultimate ranch enforcer with a simmering intensity. His deep, fiery love for Beth Dutton, portrayed by Kelly Reilly, forms one of the series’ most compelling relationships.
However, off-screen, he has been married to Cynthia Daniel for over two decades. Daniel, a former actress best known for her role as Elizabeth Wakefield in the ’90s TV series “Sweet Valley High,” shares a deep bond with Hauser.
Reflecting on their relationship, Hauser said, “We’ve been together for 25 years. Through so many wonderful ups and downs as relationships do. We’ve stayed strong together and just battled through everything and still love each other.”
While filming “Yellowstone” keeps the star away from home for months at a time, he cherishes his family deeply. During the pandemic, he gained an even greater appreciation for them. “It’s been a little rough over the last couple of years just because I’m away for five months at a time. It’s not easy to parent from afar,” he admitted.
Hauser and Daniel have three children: sons Ryland and Colt, and a daughter, Steely. He expressed pride in his kids, noting, “Steely is an absolute pistol, and they’re great boys. When I’m away, they kind of take over, making sure that Mom and Steely are watched over. That’s how I raised them, and I’m proud of them for that.”
Luke Grimes
Luke Grimes has become a household name for portraying Kayce Dutton on “Yellowstone,” the youngest son of the Dutton family. His love story with Monica Long Dutton, played by Kelsey Asbille, is a central thread in the series.
Monica, a Native American teacher, and Kayce navigate cultural differences, personal tragedies, and family conflicts while staying devoted to one another.
Off-screen, the actor enjoys a quieter but equally loving life with his wife, Bianca Rodrigues. The couple celebrated their anniversary in November 2021, with Rodrigues marking the occasion through an Instagram post.
At the time of writing, she had over 200,000 followers on Instagram, where she often shares glimpses of their life together. In October 2024, the couple reached a major milestone, welcoming their first child.
Rodrigues shared the joyful news with two heartfelt Instagram posts, delighting her followers and offering a peek into their growing family.
Kelsey Asbille
Asbille shines as Monica Long Dutton on “Yellowstone,” Kayce Dutton’s steadfast wife. Off-screen, the actress has reportedly been in a long-term relationship with actor William Moseley. The pair allegedly began dating in 2012 after meeting on the set of the film “Run.”
While Asbille immerses herself in ranch life during filming, according to reports, she embraces the vibrant city life in Brooklyn, New York, with Moseley.
Despite their long-standing romance, the couple is known for keeping their relationship private. They haven’t been spotted on a red carpet together since 2017, leading to speculation about their current status.However, there have been no confirmed reports of a breakup, leaving fans to admire the quiet mystery surrounding their personal lives.
Kelly Reilly
Reilly brings fire and intensity to “Yellowstone” as Beth Dutton, a fiercely loyal and sharp-tongued businesswoman. Her character’s passionate relationship with Rip is a cornerstone of the show, blending fiery chemistry with moments of tenderness.
Off-screen, the actress’s love story takes a different direction. While she keeps much of her personal life private, she revealed in a 2011 interview that her boyfriend at the time lived in New York.
“I’m not saying any more about him except that he’s not an actor, not in the business,” she shared, adding that she spent much of her time traveling between the U.K. and the U.S.
According to reports, the man she referred to is financier Kyle Baugher. The couple later tied the knot in 2012, and Reilly occasionally shares glimpses of their life together. “Now, I’m married and happy and content […],” Reilly revealed in 2015.
In 2022, she posted a rare photo of Baugher on Instagram. Then, in 2023, she marked their 11th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt post.
“We were married in Somerset, England, surrounded by the countryside I love. This morning exactly 11 years later in Utah with you surrounded by rock, wild desert flowers, and Navajo willows. Mary Oliver’s poem for you today 🤍 (thank you, thank you),” the caption read.
Wes Bentley is widely recognized for his role as Jamie Dutton, the adopted son of John Dutton, with a complex relationship with those around him.
His relationships are equally troubled, marked by betrayal and emotional turmoil. Off-screen, the actor’s life once mirrored the turbulence of his character.
Bentley faced a difficult battle with drug and alcohol addiction, which nearly derailed his career. He initially sought help by briefly entering a rehabilitation program and attending 12-step meetings.
However, it wasn’t until a colleague on Roland Joffé’s “There Be Dragons” inspired Bentley to detox fully that he turned his life around. The “Yellowstone” star got sober after this second attempt and began piecing his life back together.
In 2010, following his divorce from his first wife, Jennifer Quanz, he married producer Jacqui Swedberg, with whom he shares two children: a son, Charles, born later that year, and a daughter, born in 2014. “I couldn’t be happier,” the actor revealed.
Kevin Costner
Kevin Costner commands the screen as John Dutton, the patriarch of the Dutton family in “Yellowstone.” While his relationships on the show are complex, John has shared romantic entanglements, including with Evelyn Dutton, portrayed in flashbacks by Gretchen Mol.
These glimpses into his past reveal a love story that shaped much of his life and character. Off-screen, Costner, who has been married twice and welcomed six children, appears to be single. However, someone new has captured his heart — his Labrador puppy.
On Valentine’s Day 2024, the veteran actor shared an adorable moment on Instagram Stories, showcasing his new furry companion taking a nap on the open dishwasher door.
Earlier that month, Costner introduced the yellow lab to his followers through a carousel of photos, captioned, “Newest addition to the family. I’m already in love with this special guy.”
The stars of “Yellowstone” have captivated audiences with their dramatic on-screen lives, but their off-screen relationships reveal equally compelling stories.
From enduring marriages to quiet romances and even a newfound love for a loyal pup, these real-life connections offer a glimpse into the personal worlds of the actors who bring the Dutton family to life.
