Taylor Sheridan is giving credit where credit is due.
The Yellowstone creator, 55, gave a shoutout to his wife, actress Nicole Muirbrook, during the New York City premiere of his newest series, The Madison.
During the event, which took place at Jazz at Lincoln Center on March 9, Sheridan began his remarks by thanking Muirbrook, 42. The pair have been married since 2013 and share son Gus, whom they welcomed in 2010.
"I'd like to begin it by thanking my wife, who believed in me when no one else did, including myself," Sheridan said.
He added, "Without her I'd just be the coolest acting coach in L.A. I'm really glad I'm not."

Sheridan and Muirbrook met in Los Angeles as Muirbrook was looking for an acting coach. At the time, the Yellowstone creator was starring on Sons of Anarchy as Deputy Chief David Hale while offering coaching on the side.
Muirbrook previously told Cowgirl Magazine that they were trying to "make enough to pay a mortgage or rent or food" before Sheridan "started writing."
"Two years later, we were at the Oscars … I still can’t believe it,” she said of Sheridan's breakout screenwriting on films like Sicario and Hell or High Water, which was nominated for four awards, including Best Screenplay.
Sheridan said in 2020 that what "really changed my perspective on my career" was fatherhood and becoming a husband.
“And then, really thinking about how I am going to raise that child," he said. "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.”

Elsewhere during Sheridan's remarks at last week's premiere, The Madison creator described moving to New York in his 20s and having "a love-hate relationship" with the city.
Still, he said, "sometimes you have to leave a place to really know it and love it," with The Madison being "a story of a family that has to leave it to learn to love it again."
The new Paramount+ series stars Michelle Pfeiffer alongside Kurt Russell, Patrick J. Adams and Matthew Fox. It follows the story of the Clyburn family, New York City transplants living in the Madison River valley of Montana, with Pfeiffer starring as the grieving Stacy Clyburn.
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week, the 67-year-old lead said she only got a "basic" level of information on the show from Sheridan before boarding, so she turned to another Sheridan-universe alum for advice, Helen Mirren (who starred in his show, 1923.)
"She said, 'The scripts are great and best production I've ever worked on. And I'm having a blast,' " Pfeiffer recalled. "So I thought, 'Okay, well.'"
The Madison's first three episodes are now available on Paramount+, with the next three arriving on March 21.
