Lucas Adams and Shelby Wulfert announced their pregnancy through an adorable Instagram post. The carousel of photos captured pure happiness — the pair smiling on the beach, Adams lovingly kissing Wulfert’s baby bump, and the couple holding their baby’s sonogram. The warmth and excitement in the images melted fans’ hearts instantly.
The couple also revealed that their bundle of joy is due in February 2026. They’ve decided to keep the baby’s gender a surprise until birth, adding to the anticipation. The maternity shoot perfectly reflected their love story — simple, natural, and full of genuine joy.
Adams and Wulfert’s love story started long before Genoa City entered the picture. The two met in 2015 on the Disney Channel show Liv and Maddie. Adams played Josh Willcox, while Wulfert served as Dove Cameron’s body double. Their friendship soon blossomed into something deeper, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.
In interviews, Adams has often spoken fondly of his now-wife. He once shared that she’s his best friend and biggest supporter — someone who loves reading while watching him play video games. Their connection, built on laughter and shared interests, has been the foundation of their beautiful relationship.
Adams proposed to Wulfert in July 2021 during a breathtaking trip to Lake Tahoe. The moment was intimate and heartfelt — a family heirloom ring, a sunset backdrop, and a teary “Of course I will, baby.” The ring held special meaning, as it once belonged to Adams’ late grandmother, symbolizing the merging of past and future.
The couple tied the knot in October 2022 in a romantic ceremony in Waxahachie, Texas. Surrounded by family, friends, and their dog Lando, they began their married life with endless laughter and shared dreams. Now, as they await their little one, their love story continues to grow stronger.
Adams’ soap opera family couldn’t contain their excitement. His former Days of Our Lives co-stars flooded his announcement with warm wishes. Brandon Barash cheered, “Get ready for the ride of your lives!” while Paul Telfer and Martha Madison shared their heartfelt congratulations.
Even DOOL’s Dan Feurriegel playfully predicted the baby might become a “future hall of famer.” The Young and the Restless fans also joined in, showering the actor with love and congratulatory messages. It’s safe to say Adams’ on-screen family is just as thrilled as his real one.
It’s celebration time for The Young and the Restless star Lucas Adams and his wife, Shelby Wulfert, as they prepare to welcome their first child. From Disney beginnings to daytime stardom, their journey has been nothing short of magical. Congratulations to the happy couple from all of us at Soap Opera Daily!
The RHONJ star and reigning Traitors champ announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Paulie Connell after nearly five years of dating. The couple shared the exciting news with PEOPLE, revealing that Paulie popped the question at a place that holds special meaning for them — the Apple Store in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey — where they first met.
“I could have proposed on a yacht in Greece. I could have rented a grand hall, invited 400 people and asked her to marry me with fireworks in the background. But that’s not who we are,” Connell told
While his comments sound heartfelt and romantic, Bravo fans were quick to notice that the Dublin native’s “not in Greece, no fireworks” line sure sounds like a subtle dig at Louie Ruelas — who famously proposed to Teresa Giudice with a grand fireworks display during their luxe trip to Greece back in 2021.
Connell’s emphasis on humility and simplicity contrasts sharply with Louie’s headline-making extravagance — and fans didn’t miss the irony. After all, both couples hail from the Real Housewives of New Jersey
universe, where grand gestures (and drama) are practically a love language.
Still, Dolores and Paulie’s engagement sounds like a genuine, down-to-earth moment between two people who’ve taken their time to build something real. Dolores, 54, told
The proposal itself caught Dolores completely off guard — she thought she was headed to an interview, not a proposal. “He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere and I was like, ‘Paul, are you okay?’ And then I realized he was proposing,” she joked.
From the Apple Store to BravoCon — this RHONJ couple is proving that romance doesn’t need fireworks or Greek yachts to shine.
