It’s a moment of pure joy for The Young and the Restless favorite Melissa Claire Egan!  The beloved actress has officially expanded her family, happily announcing the arrival of her second child, a beautiful baby boy, with husband Matt Katrosar.

Melissa shared the heartwarming news in a brand-new Instagram post uploaded Saturday, instantly sending fans and fellow soap stars into celebration mode. Already mom to one-year-old son Kaden, the Chelsea Lawson portrayer couldn’t hide her excitement as she introduced the world to her newest little miracle.

“Meet Jake Joseph Katrosar. Welcome to the world sweet boy. A few weeks early, but we’re so happy to have you, call you ours, and love you forever,” Melissa lovingly wrote in the caption, capturing the overwhelming emotion of the moment.

The Instagram carousel featured several tender snaps taken shortly after Jake’s arrival. In one especially touching photo, Melissa flashes a radiant smile while resting in her hospital bed, her newborn son snuggled peacefully on her chest. Standing close by, Matt beams with pride, his happiness unmistakable as he looks on at his growing family.

Another sweet image shows the couple returning to the hospital room with baby Jake, their joy impossible to conceal as they soak in those precious first moments together. And in a final heart-melting shot, Matt gently cradles his newborn son in his arms while Melissa relaxes on the bed nearby — a quiet, intimate glimpse into a family overflowing with love.

Melissa and Matt, who tied the knot back in 2014, have long shared their journey with fans, and this newest chapter feels especially meaningful as baby Jake joins big brother Kaden, who was born in August 2021. With two little boys now filling their home, it’s clear the Katrosar household is bursting with happiness.

Fans quickly flooded the comments with congratulatory messages, celebrating the growing family and showering Melissa with love and well wishes. After all, seeing one of daytime’s most cherished stars glowing both on and off screen is always something to smile about.
