Luke Grimes says he hasn't spoken to Kevin Costner since 'Yellowstone', tell me about this news today

Luke Grimes Clarifies Relationship With Kevin Costner Following ‘Yellowstone’ Exit

Yellowstone star Luke Grimes, known to fans as Kayce Dutton, addressed his post-series relationship with former co-star Kevin Costner, confirming the two have not spoken since filming together wrapped.

Grimes clarified that the lack of communication does not stem from bad blood or behind-the-scenes drama. Instead, the distance comes down to busy schedules, differing career paths, and natural life progression after working on a major television production. While Grimes still has Costner’s contact information, he noted that given Costner’s stature and ongoing projects, he simply gives the veteran actor space and leaves any future outreach open to him.

The update arrives as interest in Costner’s departure from Taylor Sheridan’s neo-western drama remains high. Costner famously exited the role of family patriarch John Dutton ahead of the franchise’s final episodes to focus on his own western film franchise, Horizon: An American Saga, and amid production scheduling disputes. Despite the intense speculation surrounding tensions between Costner and the production, Grimes maintained that his own dynamic with his on-screen father remains entirely amicable.
