March 21 was the day Floyd stopped being just a soap star. He became a husband. He and his longtime love Carly Frei tied the knot at the London Hotel in West Hollywood. The place oozed old Hollywood glamour. It was exactly the vibe they were going for. Intimate, gorgeous and completely them.
Around 220 guests filled the room with love and energy. The festivities actually began the night before. Floyd’s parents hosted a welcome party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Meet Carly Frei. She is 29, Boston-raised and a skincare expert with real presence. She first crossed paths with Floyd on Valentine’s Day 2020 at The Den on Sunset Boulevard. Of all the days!

Floyd once gushed about Frei in a Soap Opera Digest interview. He called her “a needle in a haystack.” He always said they met at exactly the right time. Turns out he was not wrong. By December 21, 2024, he had put a ring on it. Frei, meanwhile, kept fans in the loop on TikTok. She got candid about the chaos of wedding planning. Frei also kept it refreshingly real. She told followers not to put too much stress on one single day. Fans adored her honesty instantly. The newlyweds are now soaking up Bora Bora on their honeymoon.

Floyd’s The Young and the Restless journey ended with a bang. He played Chance Chancellor from 2021 to July 2025. His final episode was emotional and brutal. Chance was shot while shielding Cane Ashby from a gunman. He died right there on screen. Floyd posted a heartfelt farewell video shortly after. He said Chance “will always have a close place” in his heart.
But daytime television had bigger plans waiting. Floyd was cast on Days of Our Lives as Chad DiMera. He steps into the role that Billy Flynn held for over a decade. His debut airs on April 21, exactly one month after his wedding day. Flynn himself cheered Floyd on publicly. He wrote online that Chad is “in great hands.” That kind of passing of the torch? Pure soap gold.
One month. One wedding. One massive Salem debut. Floyd has packed more into March than most people manage in a year. The Young and the Restless fans already claimed him as their own. But Days of Our Lives is about to steal him. Chad DiMera has a new face, and fans are not ready. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more!
