Y&R alum Jordi Vilasuso shares important update on wife’s surgery | Get Well Soon Kaitlin Vilasuso
After the exciting news of Jordi Vilasuso’s wife being pregnant with his third child, there were some complications that required some surgery. After a much-needed surgery last week, we have a health update on his pregnant wife and their unborn child. Let’s get into the details right away.
Jordi Vilasuso and wife Kaitlin are expecting third baby
You might know Jordi Vilasuso from times past as Rey Rosales on The Young and the Restless. He joined the show in 2018 and made his exit after the sudden death of his character in 2022. But let me tell you, his real life is no less than a soap filled with twists and turns. Back in 2012, Jordi married his longtime girlfriend, Kaitlin Riley, who’s not just an actor but also the co-host of their podcast, Making It Work. They’ve got two adorable girls, Riley Grace, who popped into the world in November 2012, and Everly Maeve, who joined the party in July 2016. But guess what? They’re not stopping there!

Last week, the couple just announced that their baby number three, which is also a girl, is on the way, and they’re over the moon about it. However, before this baby joy, the couple had to go through some of the hardest times of their lives. Kaitlin went through two heartbreaking miscarriages, one in 2020 and another in 2022. So, this little one on the way is extra precious.

What actually happened to Kaitlin?
The baby’s growth was all good, but Kaitlin’s body was having a bit of trouble keeping her safe. There was a high risk of an early arrival. So, they had decided to go for a procedure called a cerclage to give their upcoming daughter the best shot at life. Their surgery was due last week on September 13, and we have very good news.
Kaitlin took to her Instagram to give everyone an update on her health, especially the baby, and wrote, “We made it to surgery day!! What a blessing. About to go back.. thankful for each and every prayer. Please keep them coming. We feel so covered in love.” So surgery was successful, and both the baby and mama are safe.
If some of you missed it, the baby mama also took it to her Instagram story post-surgery to explain some more in detail. She mentioned that things went mostly well, but the procedure turned out a tad trickier than expected. However, the doctor managed to pull it off and felt pretty confident it would do the job.

She shared that the whole ordeal was pretty intense, both emotionally and physically. She wished she hadn’t experienced it so vividly, but hey, what matters most is that their baby seems to be doing very well, which she wishes stays that way. Kaitlin wasn’t exactly thrilled about staying at the hospital, though. She clarified that she wasn’t having contractions but was in pain, likely from the surgery itself.
Turning the camera toward her husband, Jordi, who was sitting beside her, Kaitlin asked him how he was holding up. Jordi was absolutely ecstatic that everything turned out well. He couldn’t wait to get her back home, comfortable, and fed. Apparently, she hadn’t eaten all day, which was quite a feat for a pregnant lady, considering she likely couldn’t eat or drink anything from midnight on before the surgery. But she had some tasty takeout waiting back at their home.
All’s well that ends well. And we’re so glad the baby is safe. Now we have to wait just until January to see the little bundle of joy out in the world. And thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.
