Y&R Alum Kelli Goss Is Expecting Baby #2!
There’s another baby on the way for THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS alum Kelli Goss (ex-Courtney), and her husband, Justin Wilmers! The couple, who are already parents to 1-year-old Wade Owen, shared that they are going to be parents again in a joint Instagram post! “Let’s keep this crazy train going!” the couple said of growing their family. “Baby #2 coming 2024.”
The pregnancy announcement was accompanied by a gallery of beautiful images by Los Angeles photographer Ashley Burns. Part maternity shoot and part family photo session, the pictures included several set-ups of Wade and his parents, as well as the family’s dog. Wilmers is cradling his wife’s baby bump in several photos, and one sweet shot is focused on Wade and his fur sibling, held in between their parents, as Wilmers holds a strip of sonogram images.
Viewers of Y&R will remember Goss from her 2013-’15 run as Courtney Sloane, an undercover cop who was engaged to Noah Newman at the time of her tragic murder. After her time in Genoa City, the actress had a recurring role on the Netflix series THE RANCH, appeared in episodes of SPEECHLESS and GREY’S ANATOMY, and most recently starred as Vanessa on the CBS sitcom THE UNITED STATES OF AL.
Goss and Wilmers, a civil defense attorney, announced their engagement in July 2020 and married in September 2021. Back when Goss was expecting their son in 2022, the actress only went public with her pregnancy that May, joking that “our little secret is getting too big to keep” and that Baby Wilmers was due that July. “Yes, in like, two months!”
The couple celebrated their son’s first birthday on July 21 with a “Wade’s World” party — a nod to the 1992 cult classic movie Wayne’s World. “He’s already the coolest kid I know and we’ve still got the rest of forever to giggle and play and run around (yes, this walking boy never stops moving) making memories together,” Goss wrote on the occasion of her little man’s birthday.
Please join us in congratulating Goss and Wilmers on their wonderful news! We can’t wait to see photos of Wade and his little brother or sister in the future!
