Jordi Vilasuso (Rey, Y&R)
Instagram The actor’s wife, lifestyle blogger Kaitlin Vilasuso, joked that Riley and Evie’s first week of school “was less Insta and more reality (🤪), but we officially have a kindergartner and a 3rd grader and dropping them off at the same school together was everything 😭 I didn’t take any of the cute ‘1st day!’ pics because 1) after not taking them to school for over a year and a half I totally misjudged how long it would take to get everyone out of the house so we all looked like a bit of a hot mess 🙈 2) these babes were SO nervous and Evie was barely keeping it together so mom’ing was way more necessary than documenting 🤣 But they crushed it and had a blast, so thumbs up from both of them after their first day.. (when I actually took these 🤪) 👍🏻🙌🏻” -

Love you, Liv! We’re so, so proud ❤️ #backtoschool #kindergarten” -
