Actor Luke Grimes Opens Up About His Son

In October 2024, Yellowstone star Luke Grimes and his wife, Bianca Rodrigues Grimes, welcomed their first son. Bianca first shared a photo introducing their baby boy to the world on October 9, 2024 and followed up with another photo one week later.

The couple has remained fairly private concerning their personal life, but in a recent red carpet interview, Grimes opened up a bit on how fatherhood has been this first year.

โ€œHeโ€™s not great at sleeping, but heโ€™s great at everything else,โ€ Grimes said of his son. โ€œHeโ€™s the best. He just doesnโ€™t sleep very well. Iโ€™m learning so much right now about the world and about myself and about him and about babies. Thereโ€™s a lot to learn.โ€

When asked what the “funniest” thing his baby does, Grimes said having a silly sense of humor is at the top.

โ€œHeโ€™s just a goofball,โ€ theย actor said. โ€œAnd I donโ€™t know where you get some of the stuff he comes up with. Iโ€™m not sure where heโ€™s seeing it. Maybe me because Iโ€™m also a goofball. Could be it.โ€

Grimes’ Upcoming Series, Marshals

Professionally, Grimes is gearing up for the premiere of his new show, Marshals. Marshalsย is set to expand theย Yellowstoneย universe with a new chapter centered on his character, Kayce Dutton. The series will follow Kayce as he takes a decisive turn in his life, joining an elite team of U.S. Marshals.ย 

Grimes has also hinted that several familiar faces fromย Yellowstoneย will make appearances. The spinoff introduces its first new cast member, Logan Marshall-Green, who will play Pete Calvin, a close friend from Kayceโ€™s military past.

CBS released an extended trailer for the upcoming series, beginning with Kayce in a dark place, talking about the losses heโ€™s faced.

โ€œI fought every day to get out of the weight of Yellowstone,โ€ Kayce says. โ€œIโ€™ve lost my teammates, my parents, even my brothers,โ€ he continues as he places his hand on a tombstone. โ€œI know that sometimes good men have to do bad things. But Iโ€™m trying to find a new beginning.โ€

Kayce has taken on a new role leading a U.S. Marshals team in Montana, with his grown son Tate (Brecken Merrill) joining him. The move comes after Kayce sold the family ranch and chose to start over, following the events of Yellowstoneโ€™s season finale, which brought the Paramount Network series to a close.

You can watch Luke Grimes in Marshals, premiering Sunday, March 1, at 8/7c on CBS.
