Family & marriage John and Evelyn Dutton were blessed with three more children: Kayce has two brothers (Lee and Jamie) and a sister (Beth). They grew up together on the
Beth is the second youngest of the Dutton family in the hit series. Her older brothers are Jamie, 36, and the ill-fated Lee Dutton (Dave Annable), 38, who died in season one.
Beth was 15 years old when she got pregnant with Rip's child. Scared to tell her father or Rip about her pregnancy, Beth asked her brother instead. Jamie takes her to an abortion clinic. There, Jamie gets informed that the only way to perform the abortion is for Beth to undergo sterilization.
Tate Dutton is a main character on Yellowstone and the child of Monica and Kayce Dutton.
Beth came to know about Jamie and his secret only in season 4. While it was sprung upon us, it is hard to believe that she knew all along. News must have been passed on to her after Jamie's own discovery.
It is later revealed that part of what drove them apart was that Kayce got Monica pregnant and they planned to keep the baby. That is when John forced Kayce to take the brand. Before the series, he was an ex-Navy SEAL who settled on the Broken Rock Reservation with his wife Monica and son Tate.
She lost her life on March 30, 1997, during a horseback riding accident. Her horse got spooked and fell on her while she was out riding with Beth and Kayce.
John later explains to Monica that he branded Kayce for disobeying him when Kayce got Monica pregnant and Kayce refused John's demand to make Monica abort the child. John branded Kayce, which drove a wedge between the two and caused Kayce to enlist in the Navy where he became a SEAL.
Heartbreakingly, Monica gets into a car accident and she and Kayce lose their child.
At the start of season five, a heavily pregnant Monica desperately drives herself to the hospital to give birth before a cow suddenly appears on the road. The resulting crash throws Monica several feet from the wreckage, and her son dies shortly after an agonising labour.
When Beth was a teenager, she got pregnant. She sought help from Jamie, who assisted her efforts to get an abortion. But, in order to keep the pregnancy from leaking to the press and embarrassing the family, Jamie took Beth to a free clinic on a Reservation, where sterilization was mandatory with abortions.
The third season episode titled 'Cowboys and Dreamers' shows how Beth was about fifteen years old when she became pregnant. Beth was hooking up with Rip at that time and it is implied that the baby was his. She wasn't very sure of how her father would react so she reaches out to her brother, Jamie, for help.
Spencer Dutton is the younger son of James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret Dutton (Faith Hill) from the 1883 series. He is also the younger brother of John Dutton Sr (James Badge Dale). As James Dutton from 1883 was John Dutton's great-grandfather, this makes Spencer one of John's grandfathers.
She knows Kayce killed her brother. When Kayce protests that he had no choice, Monica points out he never had to be there in the first place. Monica wants to protect Tate by keeping him away from Kayce and John and will take him away from Kayce to do so.
Viewers learned about Monica's pregnancy in season 4. The twosome are also parents of son Tate.
Sadly, Monica, Tate and the unborn child never made it to the hospital of their own accord, instead crashing when Monica's pain and distractions led to her veering off the road. At the end of episode one of season five, fans learned that while Tate and Monica were okay, she had lost her baby.
The wife of Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes), Monica is a Native American who lives with her family on the Dutton ranch. In Season 1, Monica serves as a teacher at the reservation's school, but in Season 2, she joins the University of Montana as a professor.
So there you have it. Monica left Kayce because she was jealous, traumatized, tired, and fearful. Or maybe she just realized that he was not worth it.
Beth finally learns another deep family secret: John Dutton has been chucking corpses on the Montana border for years; in fact, the episode began with a young Rip (Kyle Red Silverstein), who at the urging of a young John Dutton (Josh Lucas), discards the body of a cowboy who got a little too lippy about his beloved ...
Beth's mother unfairly blamed Beth for the horse bucking and then falling on the mother, and Beth, in turn, has always blamed herself for her mother's death. “I actually think that Jamie blames Beth for the death of their mother — so does Beth, blame herself,” explains Reilly.
Who Was Evelyn Dutton's Favorite Child? While the flashbacks to Evelyn's life are few and far between, one dynamic is super clear: She had a special bond with her youngest, Kayce. "I still think Kayce is John's favorite. He's the youngest of the family, and he's Evelyn's favorite.
In "Yellowstone," we see glimpses of Beth taking on the role of confidante and caretaker for her younger brother, Kayce, as well as her father, John. This may have fostered resentment in Evelyn, who could feel threatened by Beth's usurpation of traditional maternal roles.
