Melissa, who plays Abby Newman on the CBS daytime drama “The Young and The Restless” have two little girls: Olivia Christine, who was adopted by Melissa and her husband Justin Gaston after her birth on April 30, 2016 and Sophie Jolie, who is in the photograph, who Melissa than became pregnant with and gave birth to a little earlier than expected on Dec. 9, 2017!
This happens to many couples who decide to adopt because they don’t think they will conceive, and then once they have their adopted child, they finally become pregnant when they stop trying so hard! In this Instagram post, Sophie, although her hair isn’t quite as long as the fairy tale character Rapunzel, is playing dress-up and says she’s Rapunzel.
Melissa comments, “Sophie “Rapunzel” Jolie”. Maybe she’s got her Rapunzel hair under her cute hat! The family also has a large goldendoodle named Teddy Baxter – for those who are unfamiliar with dog breeds, a golden doodle is a cross between a golden retriever and a standard poodle, so Teddy is a pretty good sized dog! They also have a smaller white dog who looks like a Pomeranian mix named Lily.
Mommy Melissa is probably best known recently for her appearances as Abby Newman on the CBS daytime drama, “The Young and The Restless” starting in 2013. She also played Sydney Price in the reboot of “90210” in 2013, Chloe Carter / Cynthia Kowalski in “Hollywood Heights” in 2012, Morgan McKellan in the reboot of “Melrose Place” in 2010, Jordanna in “Privileged” from 2008-2009 as well as guest shots in many other primetime television shows and a few made for television movies.

Gaston was born in Pineville, Louisiana. He attended Pineville High School. He competed in track and field, finishing sixth in the pole vault at the 2005 Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA) 4A State Championship meet.
