Just who is "Yellowstone" star Kelly Reilly's real-life husband? And why does she never
really seem to talk about him? Keep watching for all we know about this elusive figure.
Even the biggest fans of Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth Dutton on "Yellowstone," may not know that
she has been married since 2012. That's because while she is more than willing to talk about
her polarizing "Yellowstone" character, she is less open about her personal life.
Reilly has always been rather tight lipped about her love life. For example, how many of her fans
know that, in 2008, she got engaged to Israeli actor Jonah Lotan? Or that the couple called off
their wedding in 2011? And that wasn't her first time dating an actor. She also had a relationship
with JJ Feild, who played British officer Falsworth in "Captain America: The First Avenger."
In an interview with Esquire in January 2022, Reilly even admitted she prefers to spend time
out of the spotlight when she isn't filming her tremendously-popular Paramount TV show,
on which Beth is coupled up with ranch foreman Rip Wheeler. She said,
"Well, in my life away from 'Yellowstone,'
I live between New York and the middle of the countryside in England. Even in New York,
I'm out by the end of the island, by the sea. I'm cut off a lot from the world."
Before "Yellowstone," Reilly was best known from a mix of smaller TV and film roles.
Now that she's considerably better known, she is fiercely protective of her relationship.
Country Living noted she met her now-husband Kyle Baugher the same year they wed.
Reilly has largely declined to talk about her other half in
interviews, only telling the Guardian,
"I'm not saying any more about him except that he's not an actor, not in the business."
Parade confirmed that Baugher doesn't work in Hollywood; he makes his living as a financier.
Little else is known about him. His LinkedIn profile reveals the New York native went to
Princeton University, graduating in 1998. His net worth is estimated to be $800,000,
with Reilly's own net worth estimated to be $5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
The couple got married in Somerset, England, according to Parade. And we
know for certain that Baugher and his wife are very happy together,
with Reilly telling the Evening Standard in 2015 about working in theater,
"Now, I'm married and happy and content
so I thought it was time to see if I could get that balance back."
With little to go on about Reilly's real-life romance,
we'll have to obsess about her relationship with Cole Hauser on screen. Rip and Beth's
chemistry is piping hot on "Yellowstone," and has been since the very first season.
Perhaps the magic between the two actors has to do with their mutual respect,
with Hauser telling Cinemablend about Reilly,
"She's one of my favorite actresses I've ever worked with,
and working with her on this relationship has just been so much fun."
"I get people writing to me and saying to me not to
hurt him, Rip, as Beth. They don't quite realize that maybe I'm not Beth."
Case in point: Their wedding in the season four finale.
About the couple's very non-traditional nuptials, Reilly told ET Online,
"I love their wedding, and it's just so typical Beth. She's just not interested
in having a wedding party or a wedding dress or any of that. All she cares about is being
his wife and she knows that... I kind of find her slightly heroic in a really messed up way."
Meanwhile, off-screen, Hauser is also happily married himself. His wife,
Cynthia Daniel, may seem vaguely familiar to many fans. Taste of Country reports she played
Elizabeth Wakefield in "Sweet Valley High" alongside her twin sister Brittany. In fact,
that was the project where she and Hauser met. They married in 2006 and share three kids.
So does Beth and Rip's steamy relationship on "Yellowstone" bother Hauser's real-life wife?
He says she has no problem with it, telling Outsider,
"She is one of those amazing women,
she's been with me for so long that she knows the ins and outs of what we do."
He also shared,
"She loves Kelly, they get along great. You know,
it's a small family and she comes up to Montana so it's pretty easy."
