Not being able to have biological children with Rip Wheeler is a huge part of Beth Dutton's plot line on "Yellowstone." In a lot of ways, it's not really a surprise that the pair found themselves functioning as foster parents to a teenage boy. And while it's true that neither of them handle their new responsibility particularly well, in a strange, only-Beth-and-Rip kind of way, the threesome does resemble something of a family.
As Decider shared, at the beginning of Season 4, Beth is introduced to a teenage boy named Carter whose dad is dying. Beth decides to take Carter in, but Rip isn't sure that he's ready for the responsibility of having a teenager around (despite having arrived at the ranch much in the same way).
Cole Hauser, the actor who brings Rip to life, admitted to the publication that Rip doesn't have the best reaction when it's time to welcome Carter, but that through conversation with Beth, he begins to see the potential in the situation. In this way, the pair help one another grow by being a semblance of parents, which is remarkable since they never thought they would reach that milestone at all.
