We bring you something that’s going to brighten your day! It’s no surprise that The Bold and the Beautiful character Thomas Forrester’s been struggling to sort his personal life lately. On the flip side, his portrayer, Matthew Atkinson, has just hit a HUGE milestone in his real-life. Let’s just say his Thanksgiving was extra special this year. Read further to get the full scoop.
Atkinson Welcomes His First Baby!
On November 30, the X/Twitter realm exploded with joy when Daytime Soap Stop posted this picture! What picture? The picture shows Atkinson proudly holding his newborn baby. Yep, you heard that right—The Bold and The Beautiful star Matthew Atkinson is a proud dad now! His pretty wife, Brytnee Ratledge, stands beside him, flashing a bright smile. However, we couldn’t see the little munchkin’s face as the duo masked his face with a green heart emoji.
The most adorable part? The text on the snap reads, “Happy Thanksgiving from our little turkey.” Aww. FYI, this isn’t Matthew’s first experience with fatherhood. His character has been a loving dad to Douglas Forrester since 2016. Meanwhile, Matthew and Brytnee got engaged in June 2023 and said their “I Dos” in November. Earlier, the B&B actor shared some stunning maternity photos of Brytnee on the beach.
He captioned it with a sweet Biblical quote. It reads, “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children of one’s youth.” – Psalm 127:4.” Both co-stars and fans were over the moon regarding the announcement. The Y&R diva Courtney Hope (Sally) shared her excitement with a “Congrats!!!” Next, Tracey Bregman (Lauren) showered her love with heart emojis.

However, the happy fans had their own concerns regarding Matthew’s B&B appearance. One follower asked, “So happy for the both of you, but when are you coming back to B&B?!” On the CBS show, Thomas has jetted off to Paris and hasn’t returned yet.
Viewers are keeping their fingers crossed to see him again. For now, Matthew is soaking up every moment of being a first-time dad. Congratulations to the Atkinson family!
