YR alum Jordi Vilasuso drops one last surprise before 2024 starts! Congratulations!
It’s time, people. Y&R alum Jordi Vilasuso is finally welcoming his third child after going through a complicated pregnancy. After all the struggles and pain, the Vilasuso family is finally complete. Read on to know all about it in full detail.
Jordi Vilasuso welcomes third baby with wife Kaitlin Riley just before the new year
Jordi Vilasuso, renowned for his role as Rey Rosales on The Young and the Restless, entered the scene in 2018 as the charming Detective Rey. Fans adored him, especially when paired with Sharon. However, their on-screen bliss took a tragic turn in 2022 when Rey suddenly died, leaving fans heartbroken. And while he might not have a happy ending on Y&R, Jordi sure got his happily ever after in real life.
In 2012, Vilasuso tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Kaitlin Riley, who is an actor, as well as a podcast host. After two years of dating, they became parents to two daughters: Riley Grace, born in November 2012, and Everly Maeve, born in July 2016. Just when it seemed like their family was complete, Jordi and Kaitlin announced that they were expecting their third child back in September.
However, this news followed a series of heartbreaks for the Vilasuso family. Before their third pregnancy, the couple had actually suffered two miscarriages, one in 2020 and another one in 2022. After two heartbreaks, Kaitlin finally got pregnant again, which makes this rainbow baby even more precious to them.

With a picture of their two daughters holding the sonogram, he wrote, “We are beyond excited to share that we are expecting a precious addition to our family in January!” Although Kaitlin’s body was initially struggling to hold the baby and was at risk of coming out too early, after a successful surgery, the baby was safe. And now, just before the New year, Jordi announced the birth of their child.
On December 30, Jordi took to his Instagram to post a picture of him and his wife right before giving birth and wrote, “It looks like we are in for one more surprise before we ring in the new year! Baby girl is a bit early (35 weeks) but we are so blessed that we were able to make it this far. What a miracle! Thank you for each prayer that has been sent up for our family and we ask for one more as this little lady comes into the world!”

He even gave a little shoutout to his beautiful wife for her strength, and added, “My wife has been and continues to be so strong and faithful. I’ve been in awe of how you’ve been able to keep your and our spirits high throughout this arduous and joyous journey…you will forever be my Katie girl…LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!”
After he posted about this happy news, many of his co-stars from Y&R dropped in the comments with tons of love. Among them was Sean Dominic, aka Nate, who wrote, “Congratulations, brother!!” Meanwhile, Doug Davidson, the former Y&R actor who brought Paul Williams to life on the soap, also commented, “Wonderful news! Congratulations.”
Big congratulations to the Vilasuso family. We really can’t wait for the little girl’s adorable pictures. So as we wait for them, let’s all share our love and congratulations in the comments below.
