Beth Dutton, a key figure in the show Yellowstone, has become a favorite among viewers because of her strong character and eventful life history. Kelly Reilly portrays her, and Beth is recognized for her cleverness, unpredictable mood changes, and darkly funny way of speaking, which all contribute to making her an intriguing part of the series.
An important part of her personal story is that she cannot have children. This part of her life is crucial to understanding her better, as it brings a lot of emotion to how she interacts with other important people in the show, especially her husband, Rip Wheeler, who is played by Cole Hauser.
The reason behind Beth's inability to have children is deeply rooted in her past. It involves a traumatic and manipulative act committed by her adopted brother, Jamie Dutton. Her brother, Jamie, secretly sterilized her after she became pregnant as a teenager, a traumatic act that she keeps hidden from her husband, Rip.

Beth's medical condition prohibiting her from having kids in Yellowstone explored
Beth can't have kids because of a secret surgery she had as a teenager. When she found out she was pregnant with Rip Wheeler's baby, she was scared of how her dad, John Dutton, would react.
Looking for help, she asked her brother, Jamie Dutton. Jamie worried about the family's reputation, took her to a clinic on the Broken Rock Reservation.
There, without Beth knowing, the abortion included a sterilization procedure that meant she couldn't have children later on. Beth didn't know this would happen, and Jamie didn't tell her.
This surgery and the secrecy around it hurt Beth deeply. For years, she didn't know why she couldn't have kids, which made her very angry and upset. It ruined her relationship with Jamie and deeply affected her love life with Rip since they couldn't have kids together. This issue is a big part of Beth's struggles and shows how much betrayal and loss she feels.
Who is Beth Dutton in Yellowstone?
Bethany Beth Dutton-Wheeler, played by Kelly Reilly, is John and Evelyn Dutton's only daughter in the show Yellowstone. The Duttons are a leading family known for their power and impact. Beth stands out for her smart mind, fierce drive, and deep emotional struggles.
She's intelligent and well-educated in business, yet consistently feels set aside from the family core group.
A serious horse accident killed her mother, Evelyn, in 1997, which permanently damaged Beth's relationship with her father. She then acted out as a teenager through the use of alcohol and smoking.
She also had an on-and-off romantic relationship with Rip Wheeler, filled with secrets and sacrifices.
Despite this, Beth has succeeded within the corporate boardroom, especially at Schwartz & Meyer, where she was promoted to head of acquisitions. However, her life outside of this world is somewhat of a shambles, for starters, her feeling of being unable to conceive.
Her strong, hard exterior thus is, in part, a consequence of the series of traumas, an insufficient connection with her Dad, and further betrayal by Jamie. This makes it hard for her to reveal her vulnerable side, which affects her relationship with Rip.
Beth's story is about struggling with and coming to terms with emotional wounds and saving complicated relationships.
