Yellowstone Wished Kevin Costner A Happy Birthday, And The Fans Got A Little Salty

I can hardly believe it’s been barely over a month since Paramount Network aired the final episode of Yellowstone, and yet, it feels like just yesterday. While critics have already shifted their focus to the shows on the 2025 TV schedule, us fans are still deeply immersed in the events of Season . A recent birthday message from the show to Kevin Costner serves as a stark reminder of this lingering attachment.

Here’s an intriguing glimpse into how things unfolded when the show extended its warm wishes to our longtime leading man, Kevin Costner, on his special day.

On January 18, the actor celebrated his 70th birthday, and the official Instagram account of “Yellowstone” acknowledged this momentous occasion with a post. This isn’t unusual for the show’s social media platform, as “Yellowstone” also extended birthday wishes to actress Wendy Moniz this week. They typically recognize everyone in the cast, so skipping Costner might have raised some eyebrows. Given that he played the longtime lead character John Dutton, Costner was crucial to the series, regardless of personal feelings about how his character was written off the show.

As a movie enthusiast penning this review, I must admit that Kevin Costner’s birthday post garnered an interesting mix of well-wishes and playful banter from his fans. A few couldn’t resist poking fun, with one comment even jokingly referencing a past relationship. This lighthearted jest sparked quite the reaction, with many fans chiming in with “facts” and deeming it the “best one yet.” Below, you’ll find some of the more tongue-in-cheek comments from his devoted fanbase.

  • “When your ex wishes you a happy birthday 😂”
  • “This is wild wishing him a happy birthday after TS did him so dirty.”
  • “Y’ALL DID HIM SO DIRTY THE WAY YOU SENT HIM OFF …. SHAME”
  • “How they ruined the series with Kevin’s departure…”
  • “Yellowstone was not the same after he left.”

Fans had eagerly anticipated the broadcast of Season 5’s finale episodes of “Yellowstone”, with many speculations circulating prior regarding John Costner’s departure from the series. However, contrary to various theories surrounding “Yellowstone”, he ultimately departed soon after the show resumed airing. Since then, discussions have emerged about potential alterations to the series’ conclusion due to Costner’s desired exit date and Luke Grimes expressing that filming the final season was effortless. Naturally, it remains a hot topic of debate among fans.

As for Costner himself, he’s said he’s open to collaborating with Taylor Sheridan again, and he did comment on the Yellowstone finale, though basically just to say he’s moved on with his life. He’s 70 this year and his focus of late has been continuing work on his planned Horizon movies after the first did not have an explosive run at the box office. But as he noted in his own birthday post, “Here’s to another year of keeping our sights set on our dreams.”
