Y&R Star Beth Maitland’s Grown-Up Daughter, Emelia Louise, is Her Spitting Image!
The Young and the Restless star Beth Maitland is a mother to a daughter who is all grown up. Beth shared a few pictures of her with her daughter, Emelia Louise on social media and it’s surprising how her daughter looks exactly like her.
Emelia Louise Banninger is the daughter of Beth and her late ex-husband, Christopher Banninger. Beth and Christopher were married for 29 years until they divorced in April 2018. Sadly, Christopher passed away on October 31, 2019 after suffering a massive heart attack. Beth took to social media to confirm the news and honored her ex-husband, writing, “He passed away with no pain and with dear friends holding his hand.
He is survived by their daughter Emelia, and although they were divorced just before he passed away, Beth has always talked nothing but good about him. Christopher was a sound technician on soap operas who worked on General Hospital in 2018. His other major credits include Unhappily Ever After, Almost Perfect, The Odd Couple, Men at Work, and The Parkers. Throughout his career, he earned several Daytime Emmy nominations and in 2012, he won one for his work on the online version of All My Children.

The couple’s daughter, Emelia, has followed in her father’s footsteps by going into a music career. A self-taught flute and bassoon player, Emelia went to study at the California Polytechnic State University from where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2017. Then in 2019, Emelia graduated from the Royal Academy of Music with a master’s degree in bassoon performance. And right before New year, 2024 Beth took to Instagram to share how excited she was to attend her daughter’s concert.
