Khalil Dazzles on Her Big Day
The Young and the Restless diva and her partner, Sam Restagno, have officially become one by exchanging their “I dos!” Their dreamy wedding took place in the scenic Puglia, Italy, at the stunning Masseria Grieco resort. Everything seemed so in sync with the workings of the universe!
MUA Elio Vittorei shared an adorable clip capturing Christel as she rocked a gorgeous white veil and a dazzling dress. Additionally, the caption says it all! “Honored for the makeup done to the actress @christeladnana for her magical wedding in Puglia.🙏❤️” Can we say #weddinggoals? Meanwhile, Annapaola Fiore also dropped a video of the bride on her special day.
“Thank you [Christel Khalil],” she wrote, placing the long lace veil atop Christel’s gorgeous locks. Straight out of the fairytale! Though the exact date of her wedding is still a mystery, Khalid did drop a subtle hint four months ago. The Y&R actress posted a very romantic picture of herself kissing Sam on his birthday.
“Happy Birthday to my husband, who’s aging like a fine wine – full-bodied, complex, and occasionally corked,” she wrote. Using “husband” sure makes it sound like they’ve been hitched for a while, right? Now, let’s talk about the things from the get-go! Back in April 2002, Khalil broke the news of her engagement to Sam.
She kept fans eager for a few months before finally sharing that he popped the question, and she said, “Yes!” Cut to June 2023, the couple was on the moon as they were expecting a little one. Then, March brought us a first look at their adorable son’s nursery and revealed his charming name, Remy. As for her career, Khalil has wowed audiences with her portrayal of Lily Winters on Y&R.
Over the years, she’s had unforgettable romances, including her love story with Daniel Romalotti. She even snagged a Daytime Emmy in 2012 for her stellar performance.
