The sweetest reveal in Genoa City didn’t come from a press release or a glossy photoshoot. It arrived with a bassline thump and a burst of laughter. During a backstage Halloween dance moment, Christel Khalil—beloved to The Young and the Restless viewers as Lily Winters—let the world in on her joy: she’s pregnant with her third child. One giddy routine, one radiant smile, and a visible baby bump later, the fandom exploded with congratulations.

A Reveal That Felt Like Real Life

Instead of staging the news, the Y&R family hit play on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and turned the studio hallway into a mini flash-mob. Eric Braeden led the fun, with castmates cheering, filming, and posting. In the middle of the chaos, Khalil kept pace, glowing and clearly expecting—a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it confirmation that fans caught instantly.
