Actress Melissa Claire Egan, known for her role as Chelsea Lawson on “The Young and the Restless,” recently welcomed her second baby boy into the world a few weeks earlier than expected.

Alongside the images of the adorable newborn and his elated parents, Melissa shared the caption, “Welcome to the world sweet boy. You arrived a few weeks early, but we’re thrilled to have you as ours and love you endlessly!”
