Yellowstone season 4 revealed that Jamie and Cristina has a son. The yet unnamed baby boy is now the second 7th-generation Dutton in the show.
In Yellowstone season 5, Jamie Dutton has a secret weapon that could give him the upper hand against both John and Beth: Jamie and Cristina's baby son. The yet-unnamed baby briefly appeared in scattered scenes throughout Yellowstone season 4, and he mostly served as the catalyst to Jamies story arc with Cristina and Garrett. However, theres more to this seemingly inconsequential newcomer than meets the eye, and Jamie's son may yet become a key player in what could be Yellowstones last season.
In the Yellowstone season 4 ending, Beth manipulated Jamie into killing his biological father Garrett and then secured video evidence of the act, which allowed Beth to ensure that she and his father John are finally in full control of Jamie. Despite knowing that Jamie can still be dangerous - he's still the attorney general of Montana Beth is bound to continue tormenting his baby brother. By the end of season 4, Jamie was basically a wounded and cornered animal, and if Beth keeps pushing Jamie in season 5, Jamie could become desperate enough to reveal and use his previously secret son.
Yellowstone's youngest Dutton - Jamie and Cristina's son is important to the seven-generation Yellowstone Dutton Ranch for a number of reasons. While Kayce and Monica's son, Tate, was previously the sole seventh-generation Dutton, Tate is now joined by Jamie's son, and both boys represent the legacy that John Dutton will leave behind. Moreover it will be interesting to see how Beth reacts to the news of Jamie having a son, as Jamie was inadvertently responsible for why Beth is unable to bear any children herself.
More than anything, Jamie wants his family is approval, and Jamie's secret baby could be the key to him finally earning some semblance of respect or even love from John or Beth. Everything that John Dutton does is about his legacy, and even if John never sees or treats Jamie as his real son, a new grandson is a different story altogether. With both John and Beth facing the biggest enemy of their lives in Yellowstone season 5, a new baby on the ranch might just be what everyone needs from Jamie. In a way, this may even allow Jamie to start making up for what he did to Beth, who might jump at the chance to take care of a child that's actually related to her. Even if Jamie ends up using the baby for selfish reasons, there's a real chance that it could bring the Duttons closer together. Even Tate might get excited at the prospect of having a cousin Kayce would certainly love having a new nephew. That said, if Jamie's son is to have a future in the Dutton family, it will come at a price.
