While The Young and the Restless continues to deliver unforgettable romance and heartbreak on screen, many of its biggest stars are enjoying equally exciting chapters in their personal lives. From breathtaking weddings and surprise engagements to growing families and baby rumors, 2026 has brought plenty of joyful milestones that fans can’t stop talking about.

Here’s a closer look at the latest real-life relationship updates from some of your favorite Y&R cast members.

Crystal Khalil & Sam Restagno: A Fairytale Wedding in Italy

Crystal Khalil, who has portrayed Lily Winters since 2002, has taken fans through countless emotional storylines in Genoa City. Off screen, however, her own love story has become one of celebration and happiness.

After previously being married to Stephen Hensley, with whom she shares her son Michael Caden, born in 2010, Khalil found love again with businessman Sam Restagno. The couple first met at Coachella and announced their engagement in April 2022.

Their family grew in early 2024 with the arrival of their son, Remy. Later that year, on October 9, the couple exchanged vows during a stunning wedding ceremony in Puglia, Italy, where Khalil dazzled in a flowing white silk gown. More recently, fans have begun speculating that the newlyweds could be expecting another child, although neither has officially confirmed the rumors. For now, Khalil’s social media continues to reflect a life centered on family, love, and happiness.

Bryton James & Jiara Meyers Begin a New Chapter

Since 2004, Bryton James has portrayed Devon Winters, one of Genoa City’s most influential businessmen. While Devon’s romantic life has often been filled with complications, James’ real-life journey has taken several memorable turns.

Following his marriage to Ashley Leisinger from 2011 to 2014, James later dated fellow Y&R actress Brytni Sarpy, whose on-screen chemistry with him quickly became a fan favorite. After Sarpy left the series in 2023, speculation about their relationship followed, though neither publicly addressed the split.

In 2024, James surprised fans by revealing that he had married dancer Jiara Meyers. Since then, the couple has frequently shared glimpses of their adventures together, celebrating both their love and their shared passion for dance.

Hunter King Finds Love Again

Although Hunter King left Y&R in 2022 after a decade as Summer Newman, she remains a beloved figure among soap fans while continuing her successful Hallmark career.

King was previously engaged to Nico Svoboda in 2018 before the relationship ended in 2020. She has since found happiness with producer and director Chris Copier. In October 2024, the couple announced their engagement, and reports suggest they are planning to marry sometime in 2025, although an official wedding date has yet to be revealed.

Despite keeping much of her private life away from the spotlight, King occasionally shares moments from their travels and creative collaborations, giving fans a glimpse into their growing relationship.

Zuleyka Silver Celebrates Her Engagement

As Audra Charles continues stirring up drama in Genoa City, actress Zuleyka Silver is enjoying a much more peaceful romance off camera.

Silver became engaged to Nate Peterson in May 2024 during an intimate private ceremony. While the couple has remained discreet about their wedding plans, fans were thrilled by the announcement. Peterson largely stays out of the public eye, but Silver’s occasional social media posts suggest a supportive and loving relationship.

Michael Graziadei & Lauren Carey Keep Family First

Michael Graziadei, known for playing Daniel Romalotti, has balanced emotional storylines on screen with a fulfilling family life at home.

In March 2023, Graziadei proposed to longtime partner Lauren Carey during an appearance on The Talk, creating one of the year’s sweetest celebrity moments. The couple, together for more than a decade, are parents to twin boys, Oliver and Arlo, who were born in 2021.

More recently, Graziadei sparked fresh excitement by proposing once again, leading fans to wonder whether wedding plans are finally underway. Although no ceremony has been officially announced, the couple regularly shares heartwarming family moments online.

Michael Mealor & Sasha Enjoy Their Growing Family

Michael Mealor has portrayed Kyle Abbott since 2018, navigating endless romantic complications on screen. His real-life marriage, however, has been refreshingly steady.

Mealor married Sasha L. Mealor on March 23, 2023—a memorable palindrome date that made their wedding even more special. Recent trips to London have fueled speculation that the couple may have been celebrating a babymoon as they prepare to welcome their first child.

Whether traveling abroad or enjoying quiet moments together at home, the pair frequently shares snapshots of their life, leaving fans eagerly awaiting baby news.

Camryn Grimes & Brock Powell’s Happy Family

Camryn Grimes has remained one of Y&R‘s most recognizable stars since first appearing as Cassie Newman before later returning as Mariah Copeland. Her groundbreaking storyline with Tessa Porter has become one of the show’s most celebrated romances.

Away from the cameras, Grimes’ own love story continues to flourish. She became engaged to voice actor Brock Powell on December 13, 2023, and the couple welcomed their son, Bridger, later that same month.

Their relationship, often showcased through joyful family moments on social media, offers a heartwarming contrast to Mariah’s often dramatic life in Genoa City.

Hayley Erin & Adam Fergus Balance Career and Family

Hayley Erin, known to Y&R fans both as Abby Newman and, more recently, Claire Grace, has found lasting happiness with Irish actor Adam Fergus.

The couple married in 2020 after making their relationship public the previous year. In August 2021, they welcomed twin daughters, Juno and Maude. Although Erin and Fergus generally keep their private life away from public attention, occasional family photos reveal a close-knit household that fans continue to admire.

Allison Lanier & JD Samson Look Toward the Future

Allison Lanier’s portrayal of Summer Newman earned widespread praise before she announced her departure from the series on May 2, 2025. While she expressed excitement about exploring new opportunities, she also hinted that a return to Genoa City remains possible.

Off screen, Lanier shares her life with non-binary singer-songwriter JD Samson. The pair reportedly share the same birthday and are believed to have become engaged, although Lanier has chosen to keep details of their relationship largely private.

Mark Grossman Sparks Fresh Engagement Rumors

Mark Grossman’s portrayal of Adam Newman continues to keep viewers invested in one of Genoa City’s most complicated characters. His personal life has attracted similar attention over the years.

After previous relationships with co-stars Sharon Case and Courtney Hope, Grossman is now rumored to be engaged to social media personality Katie Johnson. Recent vacation photos of the couple have fueled speculation that wedding plans could be on the horizon, although neither has confirmed the reports.

For now, fans remain eager to see what the future holds for one of The Young and the Restless‘ most talked-about stars.
