It’s Official!! Christel Khalil Is Pregnant With Baby No. 3 : Y&R Star’s Sweet Reveal Melts Hearts!
Today, we’re bringing you some truly wonderful news that has everyone in Genoa City and beyond smiling. It’s official: Christel Khalil, the talented actress who brings Lily Winters to life, is expecting her third child. 
Christel, who has been a boved fixture on Y&R for years, recently revealed her pregnancy in the most heartwarming and unexpected way. Rather than opting for a traditional announcement, she let joy and celebration speak for itself. And, as always, her castmates were right there to make the moment unforgettable.
The big reveal came courtesy of none other than Eric Braeden, who plays Victor Newman. He shared a playful Halloween dance video that instantly captured fans’ attention. What seemed like harmless fun quickly turned into a moment fans would cherish.
In the clip, Christel can be seen dancing enthusiastically to Michael Jackson’s iconic “Thriller.” She was joined by several familiar faces, including Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Courtney Hope (Sally), Bryton James (Devon), and Jason Thompson (Billy). The energy was infectious, and the smiles were genuine.
But what truly stole the show was Christel herself. Her radiant smile lit up the screen, and fans couldn’t help but notice the adorable baby bump she proudly showed off. Social media erupted almost instantly with love, excitement, and congratulatory messages.
For many longtime viewers, the reveal confirmed suspicions that had been quietly building for months. Christel had skillfully concealed her pregnancy through clever wardrobe choices. Looser outfits, oversized handbags, and thoughtful camera angles helped keep the secret under wraps.
This joyful news marks baby number three for the actress. Christel is already a devoted mother to her son Remy, whom she shares with her husband Sam Restagno. She is also mom to her teenage son, Michael Caden, from a previous relationship.
Christel and Sam’s love story is one straight out of a romance novel. The couple first met in 2016 at Coachella, where they instantly connected. From the beginning, their relationship was grounded in mutual respect and a shared desire for a quieter life away from the Hollywood spotlight.
They went public with their romance in 2018 and continued to build a strong foundation together. Sam proposed in 2022, and their journey reached a beautiful milestone when they tied the knot in October 2024. Their breathtaking Italian wedding was surrounded by close family, friends, and several of Christel’s Young and the Restless co-stars.
As Christel prepares to welcome another child, fans are celebrating right alongside her. Her warmth, authenticity, and talent have made her not just a fan favorite, but a cherished presence both on and off screen. From all of us, congratulations to Christel Khalil and her growing family — Genoa City couldn’t be happier for her.
