Meet the real-life partners of the Yellowstone cast

If Yellowstone has taught us one thing, it’s that nothing can topple the Dutton family dynasty. 

Even after the departure of leading man Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the patriarch of the wealthy but dysfunctional ranch clan, Taylor Sheridan’s blockbuster drama lives on. The second half of Yellowstone season 5 premiered on Sunday, Nov. 10 on Paramount+, and though Costner is absent, the series is continuing arcs for some of our favorite characters, like John’s daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly), and her husband, ranch foreman Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

While Yellowstone fans are well-versed in the Dutton family and their confidantes, many viewers are less familiar with the actors who play them. Now that Yellowstone has returned, let's take a closer look at the husbands, wives, and partners of the show’s cast.

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner 

Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner met in 1994 while Costner was still married to his first wife, Cindy Silva. In 1998, after Costner and Silva divorced, he ran into Baumgartner and the two began a romantic relationship. They married in 2004 and share three children together.

In May 2023, Baumgartner filed for divorce from Costner citing “irreconcilable differences.” The two spent several months in court arguing over child support and Baumgartner's relocation from the family’s Santa Barbara estate. The two reached a settlement in September 2023, avoiding any high-profile court proceedings.

Kelly Reilly and Kyle Baugher

Kelly Reilly married Kyle Baugher in 2012 in Somerset, England. The couple keeps their relationship private, but Reilly did post a heartwarming tribute to Baugher on Instagram in 2022. “Another year of love .. so grateful for you ❤️Wishing everyone a beautiful year x,” reads the caption for the photo, which shows the couple embracing on a beach.

Cole Hauser and Cynthia Daniel

Though he’s married to Reilly’s character on the show, in real life Cole Hauser has been married to photographer and former actress Cynthia Daniel since 2006. The couple began dating in the ‘90s and share three children — daughter Steely Rose, and sons Ryland and Colt.

"We've been together for 25 years," Hauser told PEOPLE in 2020. "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."

Lainey Wilson and Devlin ‘Duck’ Hodges 

Country singer Lainey Wilson is relatively new to Yellowstone, having joined the cast as Abby in season 5. Wilson is dating former NFL quarterback Devlin “Duck” Hodges, who previously played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The two began seeing each other in 2021, but didn’t publicly announce their relationship until May 2023 when they attended the ACM Awards together.

Wilson told PEOPLE that she knew Hodges was the man for her when they first met in Nashville during an outing with friends. “We went to this old place called Silverados, and it had free beer and wine from 5 to 10 p.m.,” she recalled. “I was like, ‘This boy likes to ball on a budget too. This is gonna work out.’"

Wes Bentley and Jacqui Swedberg

Wes Bentley and Jacqui Swedberg married in 2010 after meeting in Canada while working on separate movies. They became acquainted through a mutual friend at an Iron Maiden concert. The couple's son, Charles, was born shortly after their nuptials. In 2014, they welcomed their daughter, Brooklyn.

Bentley told PEOPLE that fatherhood has come naturally to him. "I didn't know I was going to love being a dad so much," he said. "Now it's the only thing I want to be. I just want to be a great dad. Everything I'm doing, I'm trying to incorporate being a good dad. Anytime I lose my head or feel stressful, I remember I'm doing this for my kids and think about them. It lightens my heart."

Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison

Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison play ranch hands Walker and Laramie, respectively, who stoke a romance on Yellowstone. That love spilled over into real life, and the couple confirmed their romance in April 2023 with an Instagram post showing them kissing in front of a bonfire. In June 2023 they purchased a home together, and in October of that year, they got married. However, Bingham and Harrison didn’t publicly confirm the happy news until May 2024.

Kelsey Asbille and William Moseley 

Kelsey Asbille, who recently starred in Netflix’s Don’t Move, met William Moseley while the two were co-starring in 2013’s action-thriller Run. Similar to Reilly and Baugher, Asbille and Moseley rarely post about their relationship on social media or speak about it in interviews. However, they can occasionally be seen together holding hands on various red carpets.

Luke Grimes and Bianca Rodrigues 

Luke Grimes and Brazilian model Bianca Rodrigues also like to keep their relationship under the public radar. The two married in 2018, and Rodrigues is known for posting sweet anniversary tributes to Grimes on Instagram every November. In 2022, she shared an Instagram photo of Grimes hissing her on the cheek to celebrate their anniversary, captioned "Three years married to my favorite person in the world ❤️ Te amo ❤️."
