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.
The underlying reason for John Dutton's dislike of Jamie is their differing personality and views on life. It is why they often fight, argue, and even work against each other in various stages of their life. Of course, it's also possible that John dislikes Jamie because he's adopted and not a true-blooded Dutton.
Why Was Kayce Branded On Yellowstone? John branded his son Kayce (Luke Grimes) as punishment for when Kayce left the ranch to be with Monica (Kelsey Asbille), back when she got pregnant with Tate (Brecken Merrill). Kayce has since forgiven his father for what he did.
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 ...
Kevin Costner is yet to publicly reveal the reasons why he has walked away from his role as John Dutton, but when the news was confirmed, the official line of reasoning from bosses on Yellowstone was that Kevin is choosing to focus on his upcoming movie project, Horizon.
"The Dutton story continues, picking up where Yellowstone leaves off in another epic tale."
Brecken Merrill as Tate Dutton
Brecken Merrill plays Tate, Kayce and Monica's son and John's only biological grandchild.
After Jamie learned about his adoption, he asked Kayce for a favor, saying, “I need some advice, brother… If I can still call you that.” Kayce replies to him, “Until the day you die, you better never call me anything else.” This implies that Kayce had an inkling about the adoption.
Those are two men who like I just said there's brotherly love and there's competition to an extent and they fight it out like two bulls, and they move on. That's it. That's just the way of life on a ranch, especially the Dutton ranch. There you have it!
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.
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.
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.
Later in the season, John has Jamie interview Riggins to find out more. Jamie, of course, finds out that Riggins' previous cellmate was Garrett Randall, Jamie's biological father. When Jamie confronts him, Garrett admits to organizing the hit—and implies he would do it again.
While she is scared that it may damage her relationship with Rip, Beth does tell him about her being sterile.
It was eventually revealed in Yellowstone season 3 that when she was a teenager, she became pregnant by Rip.
She adopted a son (Carter) after finally marrying Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) in season four. Rip and Beth have always had a rocky, toxic relationship. Now, tasked with the immense responsibilities of being parents for the first time, many audience members feel like they are failing, and badly.

Family & marriage
John and Evelyn Dutton were blessed with three more children: Kayce has two brothers (Lee and Jamie) and a sister (Beth).
In other interviews, Costner sounds more like himself rather than John Dutton. Therefore, his voice has not undergone a permanent transformation as a result of his involvement in Yellowstone. Instead, Costner deliberately makes an artistic decision to alter his voice specifically for the show's filming.
It is one of 10 Taylor Sheridan-led projects that McCarthy is working on for Paramount. So, no, McConaughey isn't replacing Costner on Yellowstone.
The official party line is that Kevin Costner is leaving Yellowstone to focus on Horizon, a four-movie Western that he's directing, co-writing, and starring in.
