Although she hasn't made an official announcement, The Young and the Restless favorite Christel Khalil is expecting her third child, as evidenced by an on-set video.

A thrilling new arrival for The Young and the Restless star

While Khalil has not officially announced her pregnancy, fans have been speculating she might be expecting a new bundle of joy for months. However, it became crystal clear in an Instagram video shared by several actors and produced by co-star Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea Lawson).

In the video, Eric Braeden leads much of the cast in a dance rendition of the Michael Jackson hit Thriller (just in time for Halloween). As we watch the actors have fun, we can spot Khalil dancing around with a very obvious pregnant belly. You can see her holding her baby bump as she rubs her tummy in anticipation of her impending arrival.

Christel Khalil's happy family

Khalil is already the mother of a 15-year-old son, Michael, from her first marriage. She has a second son, Remy, who was born in 2024. Khalil also kept that pregnancy a secret for months, finally revealing it in a 2023 video of her time at the Monte Carlo film festival, in which her bump was also obvious in several shots.

After her son was born, Khalil announced his birth by sharing a video of his traquil nursery, stating, "So in love with the peaceful vibes for our baby Remy." Both Remy and Michael were in attendance when Khalil wed her current husband, Sam Restagno, in 2024.

On-screen, Khalil's character, Lily Winters, has been seen behind potted plants and with big purses in front of her belly to conceal the actress' pregnancy. Lily is already the mother of two young adult twins, Charlie and Mattie, born via surrogate, as the character is unable to become pregnant due to a hysterectomy when she was younger.

There is no word on when Khalil is due with her third child, so it's hard to say when Lily will once again be written out of the show so Khalil can enjoy maternity leave. Currently, Lily is torn between feelings for her ex-husband Cane (Billy Flynn), and her need to be strong and not let him hurt her again.

Soap Central will keep you up to date with Khalil's pregnancy status as she reveals more news.
