Can't Get Enough of Rip Wheeler — You'll Love This Top Video: 'Rip's Fierce Loyalty'

Sunday nights just haven't been the same since Yellowstone ended its latest season. What am I supposed to do with myself now? Watch something else? Nope. I’ve been spending my Sundays going deep on all the Yellowstone bonus content I can find. I even took a virtual tour of the real-life Dutton Ranch!

Of course, I’ve also been listening to a ton of Ryan Bingham and Whiskey Myers–gotta get my country music fix somehow!1 And I’ve been binge-watching the “Stories From The Bunkhouse” series. I mean, who doesn’t love those guys?

But you know what I keep coming back to? Rip Wheeler. He's the real star of the show, in my opinion. Sure, John Dutton might be the patriarch, but Rip is the heart and soul of the Yellowstone Ranch.

Rip Wheeler: Loyal, Tough, and Oh So Sexy

Rip is the kind of guy who would do anything for the people he cares about. He's fiercely loyal to John Dutton, and he's completely devoted to Beth (those two are one hot power couple, by the way!).

And let’s be honest, the man is tough as nails. Rip's not afraid of anything or anyone. He's the kind of guy you want on your side in a fight...or, you know, just in life in general. I'm not saying I endorse violence, but it’s pretty thrilling to watch Rip take down the bad guys!

Relive Rip's Best Moments

I'm not the only one who feels this way. Rip is a fan-favorite character for a reason. He's the strong, silent type, but there's a depth to him that you don't always see in tough-guy characters. And I think that's what makes him so appealing.

and while we’re at it, check out Beth and Rip’s love story set to Tyler Childers’ “Lady May.”

While we wait (im)patiently for Yellowstone to return, you can enjoy some of Rip's greatest hits in this highlight reel:
