In 2023, Sam, 78, and Ross, 83, have been married for 39 years and are going strong after tying the knot in 1984. Although they’re both actors, they are some of the few celebrities who’ve managed to have a long-lasting marriage in Hollywood.
Judging by Cleo’s birthday pictures, Sam and Ross already knew Rosenbaum and accepted him into the family.

To show how dedicated Sam is to his wife and daughter (indirectly), in February 2023, when he won a SAG Award for Best Male Actor in a Television Movie or Limited Series, he mentioned them both. After his big win for his “1883” role as Shea Brennan, he said on stage:
“…My beautiful Katharine, my partner through thick and thin, and the mother of our beautiful daughter…”

The accolade touched the “Yellowstone” star as it acknowledged the 55 years of his work in the industry. When Sam wasn’t gushing over his wife, he spoke lovingly about his daughter, who is set to get married for the first time.
What Did Sam Say about His Adult Daughter?
In 2017, Sam revealed that he and Cleo have a “deeply loving relationship.” He also noted how they see each other almost daily, and while he’s wanted to be an actor since age eight, Ross’s husband said being a father:
“That’s even more fulfilling. It completes me.”

The actor admitted that he loves his only daughter and child more than anyone else in the world. Cleo was now engaged to Rosenbaum, and he took to his Instagram Story to share various images of them and to wish her a happy birthday.
