Lily has been absent in Genoa City since informing everyone on January 7 that she was leaving town to visit Charlie and Mattie. In fact, she said that she planned to spend around a month with her and Cane’s kids, which signaled Christel Khalil’s maternity leave. Having kept her pregnancy under wraps, the actress has welcomed her third child and recently shared a first look photo of her little one.

In a story posted on her official Instagram, Khalil could be seen with her new bundle of joy while working out in a garage gym with the door open. The CBS soap fave was lying on her back on a weight bench with a barbell cross her legs as the baby rested safely in a green carrier snuggled close to her chest.

Khalil gave fans one of their first looks at her baby bump back in October of 2025 when she joined various members of the soap for a little behind-the-scenes fun. For Halloween, Bryton James (Devon), Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea), Courtney Hope (Sally), Peter Bergman (Jack), Michael Mealor (Kyle), Jason Thompson (Billy), Susan Walters (Diane), Michael Graziadei (Daniel) and others performed their rendition of Michael Jackson’s 1982 “Thriller.”

Though the actress hasn’t released any details surrounding the birth of her second child with husband Sam Restagno, the baby, joins brother Remy and Michael, who, the latter, she shares with her ex Stephen Hensley.

We send Khalil our biggest congrats on her newborn baby and look forward to seeing Lily back in Genoa City soon.
