In this article, we have collected 10 facts about the Yellowstone show star Kelly Reilly (Beth Dutton) that make her exceptional. So, without further ado, let’s dive in!

Yellowstone Season 4

Making the power struggles focal point of the series, the Yellowstone episodes often end with open-endings that leave us, the audience, curious to see what will come next. 

However, the Season 3 finale was exceptionally intriguing in that sense, as many main characters, including Beth Dutton, were left facing death. Thus, when Paramount finally announced that the Yellowstone Season 4 will be aired in the fall, despite the lack of a certain date, the fans finally have taken a deep breath. 

Apart from Costner and Reilly, the Yellowstone cast consists of names like Luke Grimes (Kayce Dutton), Was Bentley (Jamie Dutton), Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler), Kelsey Asbille (Monica Long Dutton), and Brecken Merrill (Tate Dutton).

The character of Beth is a fan favorite. Well, who is the actress that impersonated this character in such an eye-catching way? Kelly Reilly is a 43 years-old English actress.

She is married to a financier named Kyle Baugher. The couple met in 2012 and got married within the same year. Before, Reilly was engaged to actor Jonah Lotan from 2007 to 2009. Today, the fierce couple happily lives in New York City. 

Kelly Reilly as a Yellowstone Actress

Reilly’s character in Yellowstone, Beth, is strong, has no mercy, has a cutting tongue and some addiction issues. She works for the company Schwartz & Meyer. She is known to be a reliable investor. 

The fact that she is the daughter of a very wealthy and strong field owner contributes to her character, as well as her mother’s early death. Since she is not an easy-going character, her relationships are often complicated as well, especially with her love interest Rip, and brother Jamie.

Does Beth Dutton Die? 

In Yellowstone Season 3 finale, a bomb exploded in Beth’s office in an assassination attempt. Since then, we, as the fans, have been speculating on whether she has survived or not. Although it is not likely for a show to kill one of its main characters, when it comes to series such as Yellowstone, we should always be ready to embrace the unthinkable. 

Still, many believe that Beth has survived, even if she got major wounds that might cause her to spend some time in the hospital. The fact that Reilly posts several pictures on her Instagram account from the set supports this idea. 

Yet, the Season 4 trailer hints that someone has probably died, as the crows (which are symbolizing death) were heavily used in it. In a show like Yellowstone where symbolism carries a high value, these small clues are always worth taking into consideration.

If Beth dies, which we hope not, it would be a quite tragic death, since she was finally close to the happiness she waited for so long with her lover Rip. The couple’s relationship dates back to their teenage years, when Rip, an orphan boy, was found by Beth’s father, John, and given a job and a place within their house.

Although there were initial sparks between the two and multiple hookups over the years, it takes them decades to finally come together as a couple. There is no doubt that both of them have had rough lives which hardened them. Still, starting from Season 1, the series makes it clear that the two love each other deeply without any condition.

Do Rip and Beth Get Marry?

After moving in together in Season 3, Beth finally proposes to Rip in an attempt to make their relationship official. Rip even digs out her dead mother’s body to take off her wedding ring to give it to Beth. Although it is certainly an extreme move, the couple shows how much they value each other and becomes close to a happy ending more than ever. 

And yet, Season 3’s shocking finale might be signaling the end of this newly engaged couple as well. Still, let’s hope for the better and dream of seeing the two get married finally in Season 4.

One of the most complicated relationships of Beth takes place with her older brother Jamie. The Yellowstone series was always hinting that there was something wrong between the two. Especially on Beth’s end, it was clear that she wasn’t a fan of her brother. She was openly hating her.

After many speculations. We finally learned in later seasons that back then, Beth got pregnant in one of her hookups with Rip, and asked for Jamie’s help in having an abortion. The two go to a clinic together, where the clinic informs Jamie that they can do the operation but Beth would be left sterilized afterward. Jamie agrees to the operation without informing Beth on the issue, which Beth never forgets and forgives, even though Jamie thinks that he has taken the right decision at the time. 

Apart from this traumatic experience, it is learned in Season 3 that Jamie was adopted, which might also be influential in the two’s problematic relationship.

Kelly Reilly Net Worth

Kelly Reilly is estimated to have a net worth of $5 million. Although her net salary from Yellowstone is yet to be known, the fact that she is cast alongside 2 Oscar winner Kevin Costner in a big-budget show, one can estimate that she is earning more than a regular TV show actor/actress earns. It is generally estimated that regular broadcast networks often pay a number around $40,000 per episode for their actors and actresses. 

However, Yellowstone is aired on streaming services of Paramount Network and Amazon Prime, which signals that their cast is earning more than the regular TV casts. Previously, the Hollywood Reported reported that Costner himself earns $500,000 per episode. Considering these facts, one can estimate that Reilly is earning less than $500,000 but more than $40,000 per episode.
