‘Yellowstone’: A Complete Guide to Beth & Rip’s Tumultuous Love Story

Yellowstone may be all about the Dutton family, led by patriarch John (Kevin Costner), doing whatever it takes to protect their land and ranch, but it also has heart — specifically with its central romance.

From youthful flirtations to steamy hookups, the wildest “first date” ever and yes, a wedding ceremony that would befit only these two beloved badasses, here’s the chronological guide to the tumultuous love story between rich cattle rancher’s daughter Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and loyal, rugged ranch hand Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

One of the biggest questions about this couple throughout the entire series is whether or not Rip will find out what Jamie (Wes Bentley) did to Beth when they were teens. Ahead of the Season 5 Part 2 premiere, Bentley told TV Insider that it’s “very possible” the truth will come out in what could be the show’s final episodes. That will only spell trouble for Jamie, but it’s also something that Beth and Rip have needed to discuss for a very long time.
