The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers indicate that Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson) has given birth a few weeks early, so she showed off her new family addition on social media. Egan and her husband, Matt Katrosar, welcomed their bundle of joy on July 14, so let’s look at their big announcement.
“Meet Jake Joseph Katrosar!” Egan said on her social media accounts. “Born 7/14/23. Welcome to the world sweet boy. A few weeks early, but we’re so happy to have you and call you ours and love you forever!”
Egan and her hubby already have a son named Caden, so he’ll no doubt be a great big brother to Jake as the boys grow up together.
In the sweet photos Egan posted, she’s beaming with pride over Jake’s arrival. Katrosar looks beyond thrilled as well, so we couldn’t be happier for these proud parents.
It’s wonderful news that Jake arrived in the world safely, especially since he came sooner than expected.
Jake seems healthy based on the adorable pics and tone of the post, so that’s another reason to celebrate.
Christel Khalil (Lily Winters), who happens to be expecting a baby as well, gushed over Jake’s arrival once Egan offered updates on Instagram.
“Omg!!! Congrats!!!!!” Khalil said in the comments.
Melissa Claire Egan’s former costar James Hyde (ex-Jeremy Stark) also congratulated Egan and included some celebratory emojis in a comment of his own.
Of course, plenty of fans also chimed in with supportive words since it’s always exciting when a cast member has a special delivery!
As for Melissa Claire Egan’s maternity leave, it’ll be interesting to see how Chelsea is written out of the show temporarily.
Now that Chelsea is set to tackle a new job at Marchetti, her role as the company’s creative director could lead to her traveling to Italy on an extended business trip.
That might be the easiest explanation since Egan will need some time off while she’s home with her new little one.
As other info emerges on Chelsea’s storyline and temporary departure, we’ll keep you posted.
