The Young and the Restless star Lucas Adams has new reasons to celebrate! The actor, who recently joined the soap, just shared exciting baby news with his wife, Shelby Wulfert. The couple revealed they’re expecting their first child, and fans couldn’t be happier for them.
A Joyous New Chapter In The Young and the Restless Star
Lucas Adams and Shelby Wulfert announced their pregnancy through an adorable Instagram post. The carousel of photos captured pure happiness — the pair smiling on the beach, Adams lovingly kissing Wulfert’s baby bump, and the couple holding their baby’s sonogram. The warmth and excitement in the images melted fans’ hearts instantly.
The couple also revealed that their bundle of joy is due in February 2026. They’ve decided to keep the baby’s gender a surprise until birth, adding to the anticipation. The maternity shoot perfectly reflected their love story — simple, natural, and full of genuine joy.
From Disney Co-Stars to Lifelong Partners
Adams and Wulfert’s love story started long before Genoa City entered the picture. The two met in 2015 on the Disney Channel show Liv and Maddie. Adams played Josh Willcox, while Wulfert served as Dove Cameron’s body double. Their friendship soon blossomed into something deeper, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
In interviews, Adams has often spoken fondly of his now-wife. He once shared that she’s his best friend and biggest supporter — someone who loves reading while watching him play video games. Their connection, built on laughter and shared interests, has been the foundation of their beautiful relationship.
A Love Story Written in the Stars
Adams proposed to Wulfert in July 2021 during a breathtaking trip to Lake Tahoe. The moment was intimate and heartfelt — a family heirloom ring, a sunset backdrop, and a teary “Of course I will, baby.” The ring held special meaning, as it once belonged to Adams’ late grandmother, symbolizing the merging of past and future.
The couple tied the knot in October 2022 in a romantic ceremony in Waxahachie, Texas. Surrounded by family, friends, and their dog Lando, they began their married life with endless laughter and shared dreams. Now, as they await their little one, their love story continues to grow stronger.
The Young and the Restless & DOOL Family Rejoices
Adams’ soap opera family couldn’t contain their excitement. His former Days of Our Lives co-stars flooded his announcement with warm wishes. Brandon Barash cheered, “Get ready for the ride of your lives!” while Paul Telfer and Martha Madison shared their heartfelt congratulations.
Even DOOL’s Dan Feurriegel playfully predicted the baby might become a “future hall of famer.” The Young and the Restless fans also joined in, showering the actor with love and congratulatory messages. It’s safe to say Adams’ on-screen family is just as thrilled as his real one.
It’s celebration time for The Young and the Restless star Lucas Adams and his wife, Shelby Wulfert, as they prepare to welcome their first child. From Disney beginnings to daytime stardom, their journey has been nothing short of magical. Congratulations to the happy couple from all of us at Soap Opera Daily!
