Luke Grimes kept his baby son entertained on the set of his new Yellowstone spinoff series just by wearing his character’s cowboy hat.

Speaking with PEOPLE in an exclusive conversation at the premiere of his new show, Marshals, in Los Angeles on Feb. 24, the 42-year-old actor and musician revealed that his wife, Bianca Rodrigues Grimes, and their 1-year-old son spent a lot of time on set during filming in Utah.

“They were with me the entire time,” said Luke, who is reprising his role as Kayce Dutton. “They basically moved to Park City for the entire shoot. They were five minutes from the sound stage, so they would come all the time.”

“My son thinks my cowboy hat is really funny,” Luke revealed of their only child, whose name they’ve decided to keep out of the spotlight.

Luke added, “He doesn’t understand why I have that big thing on my head, but he loves it. He’s very excited when he got to come to stage.”

The couple shared that they were expecting their first child in August 2024, before announcing his arrival in October that year.

Bianca revealed the birth of their son on Oct. 9, 2024, writing in an Instagram caption, “Welcome to the world little man 💙.”

A week later, for an Instagram photo of Luke with his arms wrapped around her and their baby, Bianca wrote, “And then there were 3 🫂.”

Luke spoke to PEOPLE shortly after his son’s birth, about fatherhood.

“I think people talk about your heart expanding a little bit every day, and it's so true,” he said in November 2024. “It’s like there’s a love growing inside of me that I didn’t know I was capable of, and it’s incredible and it’s scary because you have so much more skin in the game.”

Marshals premieres March 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
