Taylor Sheridan celebrated his 13th wedding anniversary with an extravagant party at Four Sixes Ranch, the legendary Texas property featured prominently in his hit Western series Yellowstone.
On Saturday, the 56-year-old creator surprised his wife, 43-year-old model Nicole Muirbrook, with the lavish gathering at their $330 million, 266,000-acre ranch in Guthrie, Texas.
Muirbrook offered her Instagram followers a glimpse of the celebration, posting photos of herself and Sheridan sharing affectionate moments during the soirée.
“Our love story has a pretty damn good supporting cast,” she wrote in the caption.
Her post showcased the elegant surprise party at the ranch, where a planned Yellowstone spinoff was recently set to film before the project was canceled.
The couple married in 2013, four years after meeting. Their relationship began during a difficult chapter for Sheridan, who was once homeless and living in his car as he pursued a career in Hollywood.

The anniversary post opened with a group photo taken inside the Four Sixes Ranch’s luxurious main cabin.
Sheridan and Muirbrook leaned toward one another for a kiss as friends and family members gathered around them, smiling and cheering.
Another candid image showed Muirbrook curled up on her husband’s lap while the couple closed their eyes in a tender moment.
She also shared a view of the lengthy dining table, which had been dressed with an elaborate arrangement of flowers and candles.
A separate snapshot revealed part of the multi-course menu served during the celebration.
Last month, Sheridan discussed how he acquired the sprawling 6666 Ranch, which provided the setting for several episodes of the fourth season of Yellowstone.
Before purchasing the ranch, the writer and director owned a 600-acre property in Weatherford, Texas, where he had planned to spend his later years.
The Four Sixes Ranch—nearly twice the size of Chicago—had remained in the same family for more than 150 years before Sheridan bought it.
Sheridan had intended to retire after creating the television phenomenon Yellowstone. Instead, he signed an exclusive agreement with Paramount that helped finance the ranch purchase.
Because he could not cover the full cost himself, Sheridan assembled a group of investors to share the expense. The sale officially closed in January 2022.

Since signing his deal with Paramount, the company has been getting serious bang for its buck. Sheridan has gone on to create numerous popular shows, including Mayor of Kingstown, Lioness, Landman, Tulsa King and The Madison.
He has also created the Yellowstone spinoffs 1883 and 1923. The now-wealthy writer and director revealed earlier this week that he had previously been cash-strapped and homeless while trying to make it in Hollywood.
‘I was homeless twice,’ he told Town & Country. ‘I lived in my car. Sometimes I’d go to Ojai, just somewhere where I could safely sleep. I did that for six months.’
He continued: ‘I could have decided at any point, “I’m going to go get a full-time job, and I’m going to give up this dream.” And I chose to sleep in my car over that.’
He later met Muirbrook after being cast in Sons of Anarchy, in which he starred in the first two seasons before deciding to step away from acting.
He and his future wife met in Los Angeles in 2009 when Muirbrook hired him as an acting coach.

At the time, he was starring on Sons of Anarchy and was coaching on the side to make a living.
In 2010, they welcomed their son Gus, and they went on to tie the knot in 2013.
Sheridan previously opened up about their decision to leave Los Angeles behind and move to a more rural area to raise their young son.
‘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 told the Austin American-Statesman in August 2017.
He also spoke about his decision to pivot from acting to screenwriting, crediting his wife and their son for his success.
‘I think the thing that really changed my perspective on my career was getting married and having a child,’ he told Cowboys & Indians in 2020. ‘And then, really thinking about how I am going to raise that child.’
He added: ‘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.’
