Yellowstone’s Rip Wheeler Married a Former Teen Star In Real Life

Yellowstone star Cole Hauser is one of the fans' favorite characters on the show, but in real life, he maintains a little bit of an air of mystery.

Though he's one of the standout characters as Rip Wheeler on one of the biggest hits on Yellowstone TV, many viewers are unaware that in his real life, Hauser is married to a former teen star.

Hauser's wife is Cynthia Daniel, a former model and actor who fans might recognize from her television role as Elizabeth Wakefield on Sweet Valley High from 1994-1997.

Daniel and her twin sister, Brittany Daniel, began modeling when they were 11 years old, most famously as the Doublemint Twins in a series of ads for Doublemint gum. They appeared together in Sweet Valley High, as well as subsequent projects that included The Basketball Diaries and That 80s Show.

Daniel retired from acting in 2002, according to Country Living, and she and Hauser married in 2006. The couple have town sons, Ryland and Colt, and a daughter, Steely Rose.
