Yellowstone stars Hassie Harrison and Ryan Bingham confirm their relationship with fiery romantic kiss: ‘I love you, cowboy’
Yellowstone actors Hassie Harrison and Ryan Bingham have publicly confirmed their relationship with a sweet yet fiery photo shared on Instagram on Wednesday.
The photo, which 42-year-old Ryan posted to his account, showed the lovebirds embracing and sharing a passionate kiss.
It had an element of danger to it though, as they faced a roaring blaze from some brush that had been ignited.
The loving display follows their Yellowstone costar Dawn Olivieri’s exclusive tease to DailyMail.com that star Kevin Costner could be gone from the hit show for good.
In Ryan’s photo, he and Hassie, 33, were dressed in matching camouflage jackets with jeans and dark boots.

Sweet: Harrison made sure there was no confusion with her “I love you cowboy” comment
The lovebirds also both wore caps, facing upwards as they leaned in for the kiss.
He referenced the inferno behind them in his caption. “More than a spark,” he wrote while tagging Hassie.
She doubled down in the comments, adding, “I love you cowboy,” along with a beloved emoji.
Both actors are relatively recent additions to Yellowstone’s sprawling cast.
Hassie joined the series during its third season in 2020, while Ryan has been a part of the series since its inception.
She plays Laramie, who works for Kevin Costner’s John Dutton III as a ranch hand and horse racer.
Ryan started out as a singer-songwriter before acting.
He plays Walker, a fellow ranch hand, who is also, fittingly, a musician, as well as a former convict. He was originally a recurring character in the first three seasons, before being boosted to series regular status in season four.
Hassie and Ryan’s romance may have been an example of imitating art in life, as their characters also date in Yellowstone.

Rumors: The actors’ romance stems from concerns that series patriarch Kevin Costner will leave the show to focus on other passion projects; still from Yellowstone
Harrison was previously in a relationship with the actor Austin Nichols, while Bingham shares three children with his ex-wife Anna Axster, to whom he was married from 2009 to 2021.
The actors’ romance stems from concerns about the future of their popular series.
Costner has reportedly wanted to significantly reduce the amount of filming he will be doing for the second part of the five season to focus on directing and starring in his multi-part Western epic Horizon.
The friction between him and the production has led to speculation that series creator and showrunner Taylor Sheridan could kill off his character, which might as well happen if The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Matthew McConaughey is getting his own Yellowstone spin-off series.
