Models, bankers, and Doublemint twins — the "Yellowstone" cast may be similar folks on
screen, but they're spending their real lives with people who couldn't be more different.
Kevin Costner plays ranch owner and family patriarch John Dutton in "Yellowstone." In
real life, he's been married twice. While Costner was a student at California State
University Fullerton in 1975, he met and started dating fellow student Cindy Silva. They married
in 1978 and had three children — Annie, Lily, and Joe. According to People, they divorced
in 1994, after Cindy gave him an ultimatum: stop playing heartthrobs or quit the movie
business.
"What are you prepared to do?"
Costner met handbag designer Christine Baumgartner in the early 1990s while playing golf. He
was still married at the time. They didn't start dating until he ran into her in a restaurant
in 1998 and they exchanged numbers. They broke up briefly in 2002 and then married in September
2004 at Costner's 165-acre ranch near Aspen, Colorado. They have three kids — Cayden,
Hayes, and Grace.
English actor Kelly Reilly plays Beth Dutton on "Yellowstone", daughter of John Dutton,
and the love interest of ranch hand Rip Wheeler.
"I think heaven's right here. So is hell."
Reilly was raised in Surrey, England. When she was a teenager, she wrote to the producers
of a television show to ask for work. Six months later, she auditioned and was cast
in an episode of that show, "Prime Suspect 4: Inner Circle".
On a personal front, Reilly is married to financier Kyle Baugher. They married in 2012,
tying the knot in Somerset, England. Reilly is incredibly private about her personal life,
and Baugher has no social media presence. Reilly does, however, and occasionally shares
photos of him on her Instagram account.
Cole Hauser plays lead ranch hand Rip Wheeler on "Yellowstone", serving as John Dutton's
unofficial strongarm and Beth Dutton's full-time lover.
"I'm the one thing you can't out-wrestle here."
"Don't bet on it."
In real life, Hauser has been married to his wife, Cynthia Daniel, since 2006. The couple
has three kids, sons Ryland and Colt, and daughter Steely Rose.
Hauser's wife is the twin sister of actor Brittany Daniel. The sisters started modeling
as kids and were cast as the Doublemint twins in the vintage chewing gum commercial. Cynthia
and Brittany also played Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield in "Sweet Valley High". Cynthia
retired from acting in 2002.
According to Deadline, both sisters are making a return to the spotlight in a remake of "Cheaper
by the Dozen" for Disney+.
Wes Bentley plays Jamie Dutton on "Yellowstone." He burst onto the Hollywood scene in 1999's
"American Beauty."
"Sometimes, there's so much beauty in the world…"
However, the rising star had a hard time handling the success and attention he received as a
result of that role, and started using heroin and cocaine. In 2001, Bentley married actor
Jennifer Quanz. However, he hid his drug addiction from her, leading to them separating in 2006
and divorcing in 2009. Bentley got sober that same year.
In 2010, Bentley married producer Jacqui Swedberg. They began dating in 2008 while he was separated
from his first wife. Swedberg produced the show "Corner Gas," which was on the air from
2007 to 2009. Neither Bentley nor Swedberg are on social media; they seemingly prefer
to keep their family life private.
Kelsey Asbille plays Monica Dutton on "Yellowstone."
"Well, you told me to leave."
"Yeah, everyone keeps telling you to leave, and you keep doing it."
She also has a starring role on "Fargo" as Swanne Capps. She was born in Columbia, South
Carolina, and got her start on "One Tree Hill" playing Gigi when she was a teenager.
In her personal life, Asbille has been dating English actor William Moseley since 2012.
He is known for his roles as Peter in "The Chronicles of Narnia" film series and as Prince
Liam in E!'s "The Royals". In a 2018 interview with Marie Claire, Asbille revealed her guilty
pleasure is to order takeout and binge-watch the latter.
Luke Grimes plays Kayce Dutton, one of John Dutton's many children.
"I hope you never know what that feels like, son."
"I already know what it feels like."
A bit of a vengeful troublemaker who will resort to violence if necessary, he's a prodigal
son who returns to the family land to serve as a ranch hand, horse handler, and eventually,
foreman. Onscreen, Grimes' character has a tumultuous marriage, but offscreen, he and
his real-life spouse project the very picture of happiness.
According to Parade, Grimes married model Bianca Rodrigues in November 2018. Born in
Brazil, she's got more than 200,000 Instagram followers and lives with the actor in Montana,
not far from the big sky country where "Yellowstone" shoots. The couple themselves appear to keep
their relationship private.
After a slew of minor roles in the '90s and early 2000s, Josh Holloway found his breakout
role as dashing, sarcastic rogue Sawyer on the cultural sensation that was ABC's "Lost."
"It's all in the details."
He made a major return to closely-followed TV in 2020, when he joined the cast of "Yellowstone"
as villainous, corporate-connected rancher Roarke Morris, who has his eyes on the Dutton
land.
Back in 1999, Holloway met Yessica Kumala, whom he'd marry five years later. They met
in a bar, when Holloway was about to approach Kumala's friends, but she got to him first.
Holloway told Harry Connick Jr. in 2017:
"I got right to them and then I got slapped on the shoulder, and she looked me up and
down and said, 'Give me your number before you leave,' and then left with her martini.
And I was like, 'Who was that?"
Later that night, Kumala again rapped Holloway on the arm, and asked for his number and name,
refusing to give hers out, before leaving once again. They eventually got together,
and are now the parents of two kids, daughter Java and a son named Hunter.
Horse trader Travis Wheatley appears every so often on "Yellowstone," showing up to make
a deal. Portraying him: character actor and creator of "Yellowstone" Taylor Sheridan.
You may recognize him from his previous role as Chief David Hale on "Sons of Anarchy".
He doesn't act too much anymore, of course, considering how his pivot to screenwriting
proved extremely successful — he wrote the screenplays to "Sicario," "Wind River," and
"Hell or High Water".
Nicole Sheridan identifies herself as "Mrs. Taylor Sheridan" on her Instagram account.
She's also a model, working with the AMAX Agency, and has appeared in ads for watches,
cosmetics, tourism campaigns, and women's wear. The Utah-born Sheridan even appeared
in an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" before starting a family with her actor-writer husband.
They tied the knot in 2013 and share a son named Gus. Nic is also a supporter of the
National Indigenous Women's Resource Center.
Celebrating their eighth wedding anniversary in September 2021, Nic captioned a cute pic
of herself and Taylor mid-kiss, writing, "Till we are old and gray, Baby. Happy Anniversary
to us."
