“Yellowstone” Season 5 has yet to return for the second half. Sadly, it has been announced that those episodes will be the last for the series after the drama surrounding actor Kevin Costner. At this time, fans are worried about some of their favorite characters, and they should be. There’s no telling who may die in Season 5, or which couples will fall apart. Sadly, this means that heartbreak may be ahead for fan-favorite pairing Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler as well. Actress Kelly Reilly has hinted towards destruction for the couple, and viewers are beginning to get nervous.

Nearly every “Yellowstone” fans is worried about what may happen to Rip Wheeler in the final episodes. Sadly, it appears that actress Kelly Reilly is also worried about her on-screen husband. Reilly says that she feels that Beth Dutton has a great fear of losing Rip. Of course, she also needs to reveal her biggest secret to her husband, which includes the fact that her brother Jamie tricked her into having an abortion that made her unable to have children.
“Beth is haunted by her past,” Reilly said (via Parade) in a behind-the-scenes featurette. “She has a lot of regrets, and she has a lot of secrets that he doesn’t know. So there is something that is under the surface that will one day, I’m sure, come, and she’s probably certain that she will lose him.”
