Soap fans, rejoice—there’s a beautiful new addition to the Young and the Restless family!
Melissa Claire Egan, beloved for her role as Chelsea Lawson on The Young and the Restless, just welcomed her second child—and he couldn’t wait to meet the world! The soap star revealed that her baby boy arrived a few weeks early, but thankfully, both mom and baby are doing well.
Egan took to Instagram to share the joyful news, posting a heartwarming photo of her newborn son swaddled in a soft blanket, along with the caption:
“Meet our little miracle, Teddy! Born a few weeks early but healthy, strong, and already so loved. We are beyond grateful.”
The early arrival caught the couple slightly off guard, but Egan and her husband, Matt Katrosar, are over the moon. This marks their second son, as the pair are already proud parents to their toddler, Caden. According to sources close to the actress, big brother Caden has been excited to “help” with baby Teddy and can’t stop giving him kisses.
Throughout her pregnancy, Melissa shared candid updates with fans, from bump photos to honest moments about mom life and work-life balance on set. Her openness and vulnerability have made her even more relatable to her loyal followers, many of whom have followed her journey since her soap debut.
What makes this moment even more special is the fact that Egan previously opened up about fertility struggles and miscarriage, making Teddy’s arrival a powerful reminder of resilience and hope.
Castmates from Y&R flooded her comment section with well-wishes, including on-screen co-stars who praised her strength and expressed excitement to meet the little guy. Fans also showered her with congratulations, celebrating the arrival as if it were a storyline come to life—only this time, the joy is very real.
