Sam Elliott made a rare comment about his wife of 39 years, Katharine Ross, and their daughter Cleo Rose Elliott at the SAG Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Big Lebowski\u201d star chose a private life on a ranch after his wife gave birth to their only child at 45.
\nThe photos of Sam\u2019s 38-year-old daughter with her father were revealed.
\nOn February 26, 2023, Sam Elliott, then 78, won a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award which meant a lot for his career after being nominated for a Golden Globe and the Academy Awards. The \u201c1883\u201d actor went to the awards ceremony with his wife of 39 years.<\/p>\n

Katharine Ross was by her husband\u2019s side and emotional as they celebrated his big win. They\u2019d arrived together and walked the red carpet as a couple before the ceremony began and Sam won his accolade for Outstanding Performance in a Television Movie or Limited Series for \u201c1883.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While giving an emotional acceptance speech, Ross\u2019s husband revealed that the award was the \u201cmost meaningful acknowledgement\u201d of his then 55-year acting career. He also thanked his fellow nominees, his co-stars, Taylor Sheridan, and to Ross he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to my wife, my beautiful Katharine. My partner through thick and thin and the mother of our beautiful daughter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Sam and Ross\u2019s only child and daughter, Cleo Rose Elliott, celebrated her father\u2019s win by taking to her Instagram Story. She uploaded a photo of her parents embracing at the awards while Ross looked up lovingly at her husband and wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations, dad!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Big Lebowski\u201d actor became a father late in life as his wife was close to 50 when she welcomed their daughter. He took the role of fatherhood so seriously that he made a big change in his life.
\nWhy Did Sam Become Private after 45-Year-Old Katherine Made Him a Father?
\nIn 2015, Sam revealed that he met his wife while they were both starring on \u201cButch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.\u201d However, he shared that he didn\u2019t have the guts to talk to her then because she was the leading lady in the movie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He felt he wasn\u2019t worthy as he was just an extra who appeared in a bar scene. The pair had another chance to meet in 1978 when they featured on \u201cThe Legacy\u201d and interacted for the first time and realized they had a \u201ccommon sensibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2017, Ross revealed that Sam spent most of his youth in Sacramento while she grew up in Walnut Creek. It was ironic to the actress that they were less than 80 miles away from each other but only met in London while shooting \u201cThe Legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When asked if she was attracted to her husband because of his mustache, baritone, or rugged cowboy looks, Ross laughed and said it was all that and more! She said they were working together and one thing led to another and by 1984, in their 40s, they were married.<\/p>\n

In 1985, Sam almost turned down a role in \u201cMask\u201d because he and Ross were on their honeymoon in Hawaii when casting began. The star told his agent he couldn\u2019t come but his wife called back and said the actor would be back in time for the filming.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Graduate\u201d actress and her husband ended up living a private life together on three acres of land for decades. According to a 1986 article, Sam was devoted to his wife and by that year they had Cleo, then two, when Ross was 45.<\/p>\n

Cleo [Rose Elliott] had always thought of herself as a singer and shared how both her parents [Sam Elliott and Katharine Ross] always encouraged her goal of becoming a musician.<\/p>\n

He was 40 when he got married and had his first and only child. When Cleo was a baby, Ross was starring on \u201cThe Colbys\u201d and her father refused to take on series work because neither he nor his wife wanted their daughter to be raised by someone else.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By 2023, the couple\u2019s daughter was now a grown up who looked a lot like her mother. She and Sam built a tight bond that has carried them through the years and are very supportive of one another.<\/p>\n

How Does Sam and His Daughter Look and Live Nowadays?
\nIn 2003, Cleo was 18 and talking about wanting a career as a musician and Sam said he\u2019d support her because how couldn\u2019t he? Ross also felt the same way but Cleo\u2019s father also noted how being an actor gave him insight into what she\u2019d come against and it wasn\u2019t necessarily positive.<\/p>\n

In 2008, it was revealed that the stars\u2019 daughter learned to play some guitar and the flute in school as an only child. Cleo had always thought of herself as a singer and shared how both her parents always encouraged her goal of becoming a musician.<\/p>\n

By 2017, Sam\u2019s daughter was 32 and had been able to realize her dream of becoming a successful artist. Ross\u2019s husband confessed that he really loved being with his daughter and it didn\u2019t matter what they were doing at the time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, he said he particularly enjoyed taking walks with his daughter along the beach close to his Malibu home. The father-daughter pair would go searching for rocks together, with him stating this about being a father:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have one daughter, who I love more than anyone in the world. And that\u2019s where my world is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sam also confessed that being a father was something that he cherished and that it was more fulfilling for him than anything else in his life. The actor, whose only been married once in his life, said the role of fatherhood completed him despite his daughter being an adult who was turning 38 in September 2023.<\/p>\n

Cleo and her father have both aged well as seen in their most recent photos. One of their images together was taken in 2007 at a premiere of a movie, in 2017 they appeared again together at the premiere of \u201cThe Hero,\u201d and in February 2023, the singer shared her latest look on her Instagram account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
