Connor’s paternity drama on Young and the Restless
Judah made his debut as Connor on Y&R on August 8, 2019. He has been the center of the drama since the day he was born. And, we loved it too.
Connor, a little kid who has ruled our hearts, was born on August 12, 2013. His biological parents are Chelsea Lawson and Adam Newman. But Chelsea hid her kid’s true paternity and got married to Dylan McAvoy, duping everyone into believing that Dylan was the real baby daddy. So when the baby was born, he was named after Dylan’s father, Terrence Connor McAvoy.
When the baby was born, he was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa. Dylan feared he was the one to pass it but Chelsea realized that it was from Adam. Adam also realized that the newborn was his child learning his condition. Adam forced Chelsea to admit the truth that he was the father and not Dylan.
Chelsea didn’t make up any story. Instead, she tearfully confessed the truth and Dylan asked for a divorce. Adam had a paternity test performed and the results confirmed that he is Connor’s biological father. Dylan’s paternal rights were terminated and Connor’s name was legally changed to Connor Adam Newman.
When Chelsea and Adam reunited, he invited her and Connor to live with him. They eventually remarried.
Connor has an older brother named Riley Newman who died before birth in a car accident and two half brothers, Johnny Abbott and Christian Newman.
