In a 2017 interview with theAustin American-Statesman, theWind Riverdirector spoke about his role as a father and his decision to leave acting and L.A.

“I didn’t want to raise my son in LA and I didn’t want to have to look him in the eye and tell him I couldn’t take him to a baseball game because I had an audition for a Windex commercial,” he said.

Muirbrook shared a similar sentiment withCowgirl Magazine, revealing that Gus loves ranch life in Texas.

“He’s never on his phone. He’s never on his X-Box. He’s always outside with the dogs, fishing with his buds, or roller-skating in the barn,” she said.

She added, “He also ropes, so he’s often on horseback. He’s just always doing something.”

The proud mom often shares photos of Gus enjoying ranch life on her Instagram as well as photos of their family of three.

She and Sheridan own two ranches in Texas

The couple used to live in Muirbrook’s native Utah, but they relocated to Texas.

“We were living in Park City, and Taylor really didn’t like the snow,” she said in her interview withCowgirl Magazine. “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.”

Sheridan and Muirbrook now own two Texas ranches: the Bosque Ranch and the historic 6666 Ranch (often called the Four Sixes). Much ofYellowstone’s fourth season was filmed on location at the Four Sixes and one of the flagship series’upcoming spinoffsis named after the ranch.
