Former “Young and the Restless” and “Days of Our Lives” soap star Jordi Vilasuso, and his wife, actress Kaitlin Vilasuso, have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions over the past few weeks. First they experienced the joy of welcoming their baby girl, Lucy, into the world. Now, they are asking for prayers for their newborn daughter.

On January 6, 2024, Jordi posted multiple pictures on Instagram sharing his joy at welcoming Lucy into the world. In the caption, he explains that he “truly never thought this day would come- as evidenced by my complete lack of preparation for this little bundle.. I literally had not bought a thing.”

Page Six reports that before Kaitlin became pregnant with Lucy, she experienced who pregnancy losses. In his post, Jordi was sensitive to anyone who has a similar story. He wrote, “This little girl in my arms is proof that God’s promises are greater than our fears, no matter how big those fears are. I see you, I have been you, I am praying for you. Hold onto your hope.”

Unfortunately, that’s not the end of the story. On January 26, Kaitlin posted an update on Instagram once again asking for prayer. In the caption, she explained, “We found out Monday that Lucy had RSV and by Monday night she had been admitted to the hospital w/ difficulty breathing. Last night, things unexpectedly took a turn for the worse and she was moved to NICU w/ what the doctors described as a partially collapsed right lung.”

According to IMDB, Jordi and Kaitlin have been married since 2012. Besides Lucy, they also have two other daughters, 10 year old Riley Grace and 7 year old Everly Maeve.

Jordi is best known for his role as Rey Rosales on “Young and the Restless.” Prior to that, he portrayed Dario Hernandez on the soap opera “Days of Our Lives.”
