Guess who’s officially a mom of five? Jacqueline MacInnes Wood shares a sweet first look at her new baby boy—and Steffy’s return to B&B is just around the corner 👶
A New Baby and a Season of Stillness
The Bold and the Beautiful star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester) has officially welcomed her fifth son, giving fans their first glimpse of her growing family.
After quietly taking a break from social media following her summer maternity leave, Wood returned to Instagram this week with a heartfelt post celebrating her newest arrival — and the calm, beautiful chaos of motherhood.
A Glimpse Into Her Family Life
The actress shared a carousel of photos, including shots from her home birth and tender moments with her husband, Hollywood talent agent Elan Ruspoli. In one especially touching image, the couple shares a kiss while Wood cradles their newborn son.
“A little slice of paradise ,” she captioned the post before confirming the big news:
“Welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby boy at home This season has been all about being still, soaking in every precious moment, and embracing the quiet magic of new beginnings.”
Wood added that social media “took a little back seat,” but she’s “so happy to be back and say hello again.”
The new baby joins big brothers Rise, Lenix, Brando, and Valor, though the actress kept all of her sons’ faces out of view to maintain their privacy.
Support From Her Soap Family
Fans and fellow stars flooded the comments with congratulations. The Young and the Restless star Lauralee Bell wrote, “Beauty & love all around ,” while B&B supervising producer Casey Kasprzyk added, “The life you and Elan have created is so beautiful .”
Steffy’s Dramatic Return Looms
Off-screen, Jacqueline is glowing in motherhood — but on-screen, Steffy Forrester’s return to The Bold and the Beautiful promises fireworks.
Wood has already been spotted back on set, and recent episodes hinted at her character’s comeback, with Taylor (Rebecca Budig) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) mentioning that Steffy is “on her way home.”
After months away, Steffy will return to find her family — and the Forrester empire — in chaos. Between Luna’s pregnancy scandal and Ridge’s ongoing business battles, it’s safe to say Steffy’s homecoming will be anything but peaceful.
