They’ve been married since 2006 — here’s why they’re one of our favorite celebrity couples

We know one thing to be true about Yellowstone — For every ounce of stress and anguish we might go through watching it, the little morsels of ooey-gooey moments and swoon-worthy romance creates the perfect balance. Of course, there’s one couple that comes to mind when you think of Yellowstone romance and that’s Rip and Beth, but did you know that Rip’s real-life counterpart, Cole Hauser, is a happily married man? Read all about the love story of Cole Hauser and his wife Cynthia Daniel here!

Who is Cole Hauser?

Actor Cole Hauser is best-known for his role in Yellowstone as Rip, but prior to taking on the part of the famed ranch foreman, he could be seen in movies like Dazed and Confused (1993), Good Will Hunting (1997), 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and many more.

He originated the role of Rip Wheeler in 2018 and has been a fixture on the hit western series ever since. Seriously — there is no Yellowstone without Rip! He is beloved on the series obviously for his good looks, but his strength, character and loyalty are a few of the traits that make his portrayal so revered — and not to mention his steamy romance with Kelly Reilly’s Beth!

Who is his wife?

Cole Hauser wouldn’t be Cole Hauser if it weren’t for his loving wife, Cynthia Daniel! Daniel is an actress turned photographer who enjoyed a career in front of the camera, and now, gets to enjoy one behind the camera.

She’s perhaps best known for her work on the screen in the 90s series Sweet Valley High, and today, she is the owner of Five Arrows Photography. “My kids would say I think everything is beautiful…well they’re right,” says her company site. “I see beauty pretty much in everyone and everything. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than creating beautiful and soul filled pictures.”

Cole Hauser and Cynthia Daniel

Cole and Cynthia have been married since 2006 and have enjoyed countless memories and milestones over the course of their long and happy marriage. Together, they are mom and dad to three wonderful children: Ryland, Colt Daniel and Steely Rose.

In conversation with Us Weekly, Cynthia credits her husband with keeping the spark alive by not letting things get too stagnant between them. Hauser gave his wife just as much credit, explaining that “it’s a two way street.”

He continued, “Being able to listen to each other, make sure that people are acknowledged in a relationship — and we have kids too — especially making sure that you give each other time, that she’s not running to the ground. I work really hard, but at the same time too, she’s at home [doing] the parenting thing. So I’m eternally grateful to have her in my life.”

Can these two get any more adorable?
