Not even 15 years ago, Yellowstonecreator Taylor Sheridan and his wife, Nicole Muirbrook, were struggling actors living paycheck-to-paycheck in Los Angeles.
“At the time it was like, ‘Let’s just make enough to pay a mortgage or rent or food.’ We were literally starving,” Muirbrook told Cowgirl Magazine of those early days. “That’s when Taylor started writing, and two years later, we were at the Oscars … I still can’t believe it.” (Sheridan’s breakout screenplays were Sicario and Hell orHigh Water, which was nominated for Best Screenplay.)
Since then, Sheridan has become the king of Westerns and the couple and their son, Gus, live at Bosque Ranch in Weatherford, Tex., a 600-acre expanse of land that represents the family’s shared love of cowboy culture. They also own the historic 6666 Ranch (a.k.a. the Four Sixes).

Who is Taylor Sheridan‘s wife?
Sheridan has been married to Nicole Muirbrook since 2013. While Sheridan is typically private about his personal life, Muirbrook occasionally gives fans a glimpse into their relationship on social media.
For Sheridan’s birthday last year, she shared a steamy photo of them kissing with the caption: “Happy Birthday, my love. You’re the words, the pages, the whole damn book 🔥”
What does Taylor Sheridan’s wife do for a living?
Muirbrook is a former model and actress who now spends the bulk of her time directing operations at Bosque Ranch, working with horses.
She grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah, and was scouted by a modeling agent at a local mall as a teen. At first, young Muirbrook wasn’t interested in the opportunity — “I was very much a tomboy,” she explained. “I never wanted to brush my hair. I was always in the dirt.” — but her mom, a former Miss America runner-up, convinced her to go for it.
After years spent traveling Europe and landing in magazines like Vogue and Marie Claire, Muirbrook moved to Hollywood to try her hand at acting. She booked small roles in the TV shows Dark Blue and How I Met Your Mother, then met Sheridan.
These days, she’s focused on ranching and equestrian sports like reining and cutting. She also sits on the board of the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame and donates her free time to charity and several elderly care institutions.

When did Taylor Sheridan and his wife get married?
The pair tied the knot on Sept. 18, 2013. Celebrating their seven-year anniversary in 2020, Muirbrook wrote on Instagram, “To the man I get to do life with. Thank you for the countless smiles, crazy adventures, and all the things in between. I couldn’t ask for a better husband or father to our son.”
Do Taylor Sheridan and his wife have kids?
Yes. The pair share a son, Gus, born Sept. 23, 2010. Sheridan has said that starting a family marked a turning point for him professionally as well as personally.
“I think the thing that really changed my perspective on my career was getting married and having a child,” he said. “And then, really thinking about how I am going to raise that child. And if that child is going to look up to me, what is he looking up to me for? It made me reflect on my career very deeply.“
Praising Sheridan on Father’s Day 2021, Muirbrook wrote on Instagram, “I’m grateful to be sharing life, love, and parenthood with a wonderful man like you. We love you Baby.”
Where do Taylor Sheridan and his wife live?
Sheridan lives with his family at Bosque Ranch in Weatherford, Tex.
They moved there sometime around 2020, after a period spent in Park City, Utah.
“We were living in Park City, and Taylor really didn’t like the snow,” Muirbrook explained. “So, he rolled over one morning and said, ‘Honey, we’re getting the hell out of here,’ and I’m like ‘Where are we going?’ ‘We’re going to go to Texas,’ he replied.”
It turned out to be a beautiful fit, especially for their young son.
“He’s never on his phone. He’s never on his X-Box,” Muirbrook said. “He’s always outside with the dogs, fishing with his buds, or roller-skating in the barn. He also ropes, so he’s often on horseback. He’s just always doing something.”
Perhaps he’s also had a chance to watch some of his dad’s shows get made — several of them, including Yellowstone, have filmed on the ranch.
