Y&R star Cait Fairbanks’s controversial real-life relationships
Exploring the romantic journey of Tessa Porter on the Young and the Restless has been fun, but now let’s shift our focus to Cait Fairbanks, the talented actor portraying this character. Today, let’s look into the dating life of Cait Fairbanks. Who is her boyfriend in 2024?
Cait Faibanks dated Y&R co-star, Zach Tinker
The beautiful Cait Fairbanks first stepped into the role of Tessa Porter in Young and the Restless back in 2017. Tessa’s journey in Y & R started from her love affair, with none other than Noah Newman, and after some soap-style dating drama, she found her true love in Noah’s half sister, Mariah Copeland, portrayed by Camryn Grimes. After many push and pulls, the two finally came together, got married, and now even have a kid. Yup, that’s how Mariah and Tessa became the first ever LGBTQ couple of the show.
But enough about Tessa, let’s talk about the actress who brings her to life. When it comes to Fairbanks, she keeps her personal life on the down low, but there are two men that she has publicly dated so far. The first one is her ex boyfriend, and Y & R fellow co-star, Zach Tinker. Zach used to play the role of Fenmore Baldwin, the son of Lauren and Michael, back in 2018.
And although Fairbanks and Tinker, didn’t really have any romance on screen, they sure were falling in love with each other off screen. In 2019, Fairbanks officially confirmed that she was dating Tinker, and after that we could see their journey as a couple on their Instagram. They took a lot of trips and vacations together, and in 2020, they even went to visit Lake Arrowhead, California. Tinker also posted a sweet birthday message for his then girlfriend, and wrote, “They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well here’s 8 pictures and 2 videos, so that must be at least like 10,000 words right? I love you Caitlin. So damn much. Enjoy your day.”
Cait Fairbanks is dating boyfriend Jay Rudolph
But sadly, their relationship came to an end in 2021, after both the stars confirmed their split. But don’t worry, Cait finally met the one for her back in 2022. Fairbanks confirmed her relationship with musician, Jay Rudolph, through an Instagram post with a compilation of pictures of her new Boyfriend, with the caption “swoon alert.”
It was like they were meant for each other, and the two sure have a lot in common since they both are musicians. Fairbanks, besides acting, has also got talent in the music department, and releases music with the stage name, Ginesse. And looks like this side of her interest led her to meet her current boyfriend.
Now the couple have been dating for more than a year, and her boyfriend is totally head over heels for her. On her birthday, Rudolph wrote, “ Cait’s day. My heart grew a couple of sizes in her hands.” Fairbanks also recently posted a picture with her dog, with nothing but a heart emoji and that speaks volumes. If you ask us, they really look like they could be the endgame. What do you guys think of this lovely couple? Let us know in the comments below.
