Lainey Wilsonknows when it’s love and when it’s tough — and she also knows how to roll with the punches.
“It was really, really bad,” Wilson tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, on newsstands Friday. “All the doctors had told us, ‘This is not looking good.’ I remember they had hired a few hundred extras to be on-set, and I was supposed to be there the next day, and I was in Houston with my daddy, and I just didn’t wanna go.”

When she thought her dad was sleeping, Wilson — who isthe cover star of StyleWatch’s Summer Edition— talked about the situation during a phone call in his hospital room. She soon found out he was eavesdropping.
“He opened his eyes and said, ‘Did I hear thatyou’re not going out to filmYellowstone?’ I said, ‘Daddy, I can’t leave you.’ He said, ‘You better go, and you better not come back until the job is done,’” she says. “Thatis the girl that he raised. So I headed that way and did it. It’s that mentality right there that I feel has gotten me to this place.”
