Early Life and Background
Kelly Reilly was born on 18th July 1977 in Surrey England. She developed an early interest in acting and worked as a teenager. Her early work included theater, television and film roles that provided a base for an acting career. She trained in various approaches to acting, and began to find work on television and film that lured her range and skill.
Career Beginnings and Breakthrough
Kelly made her screen debut in 1995, appearing in the TV set collection “The Biz.” She was recognised for her appearances in British television shows and films before slamming products to attract critics and fans alike. She became known for her roles in the movie “Pride & Prejudice” (2005), in which she played Charlotte Lucas, and “Eden Lake” (2008). Those roles established her versatility and led to larger international projects for her.
Major Film and Television Roles
Kelly Reilly’s career levelled higher when she appeared opposite Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Mary Morstan in “Sherlock Holmes” (2009). She went on to collect a robust body of film and television credits:
- Films: “Flight” (2012), “Calvary” (2014), “Aloha” (2015)
- Television: Leading roles in “Above Suspicion,” “Black Box,” and “True Detective”
- Notably, she earned a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for her stage performance in “After Miss Julie,” highlighting her continued commitment to theater.
Breakthrough with Yellowstone and Recent Success
Kelly found her career turning in a new direction when she started playing Beth Dutton on the hugely popular show “Yellowstone.” The show was a huge success, and her strong, commanding performance as Beth endeared her to many fans. It was this role that made her one of the very visible, popular and well-paying stars:
- She began with a salary of some $200,000 an episode in early seasons, and did about $700,000 for Season 5.
- She wants to be paid more, and has been offered a raise that would bring her pay for the “Yellowstone” spinoff series “The Dutton Ranch” to $1.2 — $1.5 million per episode.
- It should also be noted, that in addition to acting on the franchise, Kelly held down producing responsibilities (including as an executive producer on the spinoff), which would have upped her pay as well.
Kelly Reilly and Kyle Baugher – How They Met and Relationship
Kelly Reilly and Kyle Baugher met in 2010 at a wedding in Marfa, Texas. Their long-distance relationship began despite being from different countries — Kelly is British and Kyle is American. They got married in a small gathering at Somerset, England, in June 2012 on the couple of years after. Kelly, they went on to say, divided their time between Kyle’s hometown of Long Island, N.Y., and Sussex. They have a strong, supportive relationship, with Kyle keeping himself away from the public eye–and media.
The pair has a pet miniature schnauzer and loves the serenity of a day at the beach or on the water. Despite Kelly being a celebrity, they like to maintain privacy about their relationship and personal life. And despite being long distance during the early part of their relationship, Kyle has been a rock for Kelly — particularly as her career has exploded through various projects such as “Yellowstone.” As of 2025, they have no children, but being happily married and close to each other.
Net Worth and Earnings
As of 2025, her approximately net worth is $5 Million.

Her high-paying job on “Yellowstone” as well as other gigs and endorsements are substantial parts of her income.
