Los Angeles, CA – “Yellowstone” actor Cole Hauser is facing a heart-wrenching loss as he mourns the passing of his mother, Cass Sperling Warner, at the age of 76. Hauser took to Instagram to share the news with his fans, posting a heartfelt tribute alongside a photo of him and his late mother on horseback during a break from filming the popular show.
In his Instagram caption, Hauser described his mother as a source of kindness, love, humor, and an incredible spirit that will be deeply missed by his family and the world. He expressed his sadness over her passing and shared his belief that she is now watching over them from the heavens, surrounded by other great souls who have left this earth.
Hauser’s celebrity friends, including Jason Momoa, Octavia Spencer, and Carnie Wilson, quickly rallied around him, offering their support and condolences in the comments section of his post. The “Yellowstone” Instagram page also sent their sympathies to Hauser during this difficult time.
This loss is not just felt by Hauser personally but also deeply impacts the “Yellowstone” community, where he has been a beloved cast member since 2018, portraying the character Rip Wheeler. Warner, Hauser’s mother, had shown immense pride in her son’s work on the show, often sharing photos from the set and encouraging her followers to tune in.
Warner’s own connection to the entertainment industry ran deep, as she was the granddaughter of Harry Warner, one of the original founders of Warner Bros. Studios. Her childhood exposure to filmmaking paved the way for her to establish her production company, Warner Sisters, and produce the documentary “The Brothers Warner,” a tribute to her family’s cinematic legacy.
As Hauser continues to navigate this challenging time, he is also preparing for the upcoming filming of the second part of the fifth and final season of “Yellowstone.” Despite the personal struggles he is facing, Hauser remains dedicated to his craft and grateful for the unwavering support of the show’s dedicated fan base.
In the midst of grief, Hauser finds solace in the outpouring of love and support from his friends, colleagues, and fans, who continue to stand by him during this difficult period. As he reflects on the impact of his work and the connections he has forged through his role on “Yellowstone,” Hauser remains committed to honoring his mother’s memory and carrying on her legacy in all his future endeavors.
