Soap Stars and Their Real-Life Moms: A Heartwarming Look Behind the Scenes
Moms deserve all the love, especially the ones behind our favorite soap stars!
Today, we’re celebrating these amazing women who raise the stars lighting up our screens. Because, let’s be real—without them, our screens would be missing a lot of sparkle.
So, let’s dive into a heartwarming look at some real-life moms supporting their famous kids behind the scenes at soap events!
Hey everyone, welcome to Tren Street!
On August 5th, 2023, at The Young and the Restless fan club luncheon, fans got a chance to see Paxton Mishkind (aka Johnny) in action. But the real showstopper? His mom, Jenna, who came along for the ride to the Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel in Burbank, California. Fans saw firsthand that Paxton doesn’t just bring the charm on-screen but also off-screen—with his biggest cheerleader right by his side!
Jophielle Love at General Hospital
Young star Jophielle Love (aka Violet) stole the spotlight when she attended the 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on December 15th, 2023, in Los Angeles. By her side? None other than her proud mom!
Though Love is still new to the Hollywood scene, having her mom there made the glitz and glamour all the more special. Fans adored this young talent even more for bringing a touch of family love to the red carpet.
Mark Grossman and Adam Newman’s soft side
Even the dashing and intense Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless has a soft side—especially when it comes to his mom. On March 17th, 2023, Mark Grossman took his mother as his date to celebrate the CBS soap’s 50th Anniversary at Vibiana in Los Angeles.
It’s fun to imagine a mom’s perspective on her son’s complicated, dark, and often twisted character. We can only hope she gave him a few lighthearted “mom lectures” for good measure!
Oh, and did we mention she once made an appearance on the show as a fellow Crimson Lights customer?
Lily Brooks O’Briant’s Hollywood milestone
Another new face on The Young and the Restless, Lily Brooks O’Briant (aka Lucy Romalotti), also made sure her mom was there for the soap’s 50th Anniversary celebration. Fresh to the soap world, O’Briant looked radiant alongside her mom, sharing this Hollywood milestone as they celebrated the golden occasion. And now we know where she gets her looks!
Tabyana Ali’s big 21st birthday
When General Hospital’s Tabyana Ali celebrated her 21st birthday, her mom, Jacqulyn Ford, was right there to help make it a memorable night. On January 29th, 2023, at The Castaway in Burbank, California, the mother-daughter duo celebrated with a fabulous Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme.
Ali looked thrilled to have her mom with her as she hit this big milestone, proving that no matter how successful you get, having mom there makes any celebration better.
Cameron Grimes’ 25 years on the soap
The Young and the Restless favorite Cameron Grimes marked a big milestone in her career with her family by her side. In March 2022, as Grimes celebrated 25 years on the soap, her mom joined her on set, sharing a touching moment.
It’s not every day you can say you’ve spent a quarter of a century on one show, and having her mom there made the occasion even more special.
Henry Joseph Samiri’s holiday moment
Henry Joseph Samiri, who plays young Douglas on The Bold and the Beautiful, had a heartwarming moment back in 2021. He brought his mom to the soap’s Christmas party at Maggiano’s at The Grove in Los Angeles.
Catherine Kelly Lang’s glamorous ribbon-cutting
The Bold and the Beautiful icon Catherine Kelly Lang (aka Brooke) brought her mom to a glamorous event in December 2019. They attended the ribbon-cutting for Lang’s Beverly Hills boutique. Seeing them together was like a glimpse into a family legacy of beauty and style.
Sydney Michaela’s fan club weekend
In July 2019, General Hospital star Sydney Michaela attended her soap’s main cast event during fan club weekend. The event, hosted at the Embassy Suites in Glendale, Los Angeles, saw Michaela showing off her nails with her mom fully supporting her every step of the way.
Kelly Kruger’s baby shower
Kelly Kruger, known for her roles on The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless, celebrated a truly special moment in July 2019. Her mom was right by her side at her baby shower, making the day even more memorable.
Zach Tinker’s Daytime Emmy date
In May 2019, The Young and the Restless star Zach Tinker brought his mom as his date to the CBS Daytime Emmy Awards after-party. Fans couldn’t help but notice their uncanny resemblance!
