The Young and the Restless: Three couples who already look forward to celebrating Valentine's Day

Even though Valentine's Day is over a month away, love is always in the air on The Young and the Restless. While some Y&R couples have been struggling with a variety of obstacles in their relationships, and other couples have called it quits, here are three couples who can't wait to celebrate Valentine's Day:

Billy and Sally on The Young and the Restless

The Young and the Restless' Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally (Courtney Hope) are together in both love and business. They worked hard to get their company, Abbott Communications, off the ground, and the launch party was a success -- but would have been an even bigger success had Victor (Eric Braeden) not ordered Adam (Mark Grossman) to publish that hit piece against Jabot Cosmetics. Still, Billy and Sally are not daunted. They are both determined to make their company a success, and Billy is not allowing his desire for revenge against Victor to prevent him from becoming the best version of himself.

Sally has been a good influence on him, and her self-confidence and ambition to succeed inspires him to be a better person. Their romance began not long after their previous partners, Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), cheated on them with each other. But Billy and Sally have come a long way since then, and we want them to score a win. We want Abbott Communications to succeed amid the vast sea of GC business titans. We want Billy and Sally to make a name for themselves and to make all their dreams come true in 2026.

Jack and Diane

Even though The Young and the Restless' Victor (Eric Braeden) is out to destroy Jabot Cosmetics, that didn't stop Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters) from enjoying a romantic Christmas together. We couldn't help but chuckle when Jack called Victor "a real, live Grinch" in a conversation he had with Kyle (Michael Mealor). Victor is always trying to suck as much joy out of the Abbott's lives as he possibly can, but Jack and Diane refused to let him destroy their holiday spirit.

Even though Diane feels uncomfortable about Jack's blind loyalty when it comes to his friendship with Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), she knows that he loves and is committed to her. Jack and Diane make each other feel grounded amidst the chaos that Victor constantly inflicts on them and the rest of the Abbott family.

Michael and Lauren

Even though Michael (Christian LeBlanc) hasn't always been up front with Lauren (Tracey Bregman) about the fact that he's been working for Victor again, they've been happily married for years and just celebrated their twentieth anniversary in December 2025.

They recently had a hushed conversation in Crimson Lights about Victor's goal to destroy Jabot. Lauren supported the idea of Michael helping Diane and the other Abbotts to keep Jabot safe from Victor's attack. They both know that any attempt Michael makes to outsmart Victor will be a huge risk, but he likes knowing that he has Lauren's support.

Michael is the consummate romantic when it comes to his and Lauren's marriage. They are one of the only couples on The Young and the Restless who have been together for twenty years with no divorces during that time. Michael and Lauren have overcome her affair with bartender Carmine Basco (Marco Dapper), Michael's prostate cancer, Sheila Carter's (Kimberlin Brown) attacks, and much more throughout their two decades together. We know that they will be thrilled to celebrate Valentine's Day 2026.
