Yellowstone co-stars have an unexpected reunion one year after series finale

Yellowstone stars Luke Grimes and Dawn Olivieri had an unexpected reunion in Austin, Texas last week.

Olivieri, 45, took to Instagram to share a single selfie with her former co-star Grimes, 42, at the film and TV festival SXSW. 

She wrote in a caption, 'Just flew into Austin for @SXSW and ran into this handsome devil post @joerogan.'

The actress gushed, 'Love ya bud. We’ve known each other for a while. Love being on the train with ya. And your kid is ridiculously special. Here’s to the art and making it.'

Grimes had previously appeared as a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, where he discussed his move from Hollywood to Montana.

'They’re not happy about it,' he said of locals in his new state. 

He elaborated, 'The valley that I live in, we had some people come visit us. Our friends from California drove out, and we went on a hike, and we were in their car. And they had, you know, Cali plates.

'We get off the hike, and someone had written "go back" in the dust on their car. Like, people are super weird about it, so I don’t tell anyone exactly where I’m at because they would get really mad at me.'

Grimes recently moved north from Los Angeles with wife Bianca Rodrigues Grimes and their 17-month-old son Rigel.

He explained to Rogan, 'I can’t go to bars there anymore because whatever that one idiot is, is at that bar, and he can’t wait to start a fight with me.

'Just can’t wait to do it because it’s a win-win for him, you know? He gets to sue me or something. I don’t know, but it’s a lose-lose for me.'

He told Fox News Digital in February: 'I was going up there three or four months out of the year, and then any time we’d get done filming, and I’d come back here, it sort of felt like I was leaving home rather than going back home.

'It was just a gear change that slowly happened over a course of a few years and then, yeah, my wife and I just fell in love with it and decided to live here.'

The Yellowstone series finale premiered in December 2024 after five seasons. 

Grimes now stars in the spinoff Marshals – which premiered on CBS on March 1 – reprising his role as Kayce Dutton.

Airing on Sundays, the show began with a dismal 44% critic approval rating and a 55% Popcornmeter audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

On the music front, the Actor Award nominee has recently release two singles, Haunted and Love You Now, off his second album Redbird.

The project will be released in full on April 3.

Grimes – who boasts 737,883 monthly listeners on Spotify – is scheduled to perform live on May 2 at Mexican country festival DuckFest in Santiago.
