Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful have a new reason to celebrate, as longtime series star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is reportedly expecting her fifth child—a baby girl. Known for her portrayal of Steffy Forrester on the CBS soap opera, Wood’s pregnancy news has quickly made waves across social media, where fans are flooding platforms with congratulations and warm wishes.
Since marrying Elon Ruspoli in 2018, the couple has welcomed four sons: Rise Harlan (2019), Lennox (2021), Brando Elon (2022), and Valor James (2023). Their family dynamic has consistently captured the attention of fans, especially through Wood’s occasional social media posts that highlight the joys and challenges of raising a bustling household of boys.
The news of a fifth pregnancy sparked speculation about whether the newest addition would finally be a girl. Although Wood and Ruspoli have yet to officially confirm the baby’s gender, several reputable outlets and fan-driven platforms have reported that the couple is indeed expecting their first daughter. This revelation has only heightened the excitement surrounding the announcement.
Wood’s pregnancy also aligns with her upcoming maternity leave from The Bold and the Beautiful, temporarily removing Steffy Forrester from the show’s narrative. As a central figure in many of the show’s high-stakes plots—including romantic entanglements and corporate drama—her absence will undoubtedly require a creatively scripted departure.
With Steffy still deeply embedded in major ongoing storylines, including Liam’s medical challenges and Luna’s manipulative schemes, fans are already speculating about how the series will handle her temporary exit. Possibilities include international travel, an at-home hiatus, or a storyline twist that justifies her time away.
Despite the temporary departure from her on-screen role, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood continues to maintain a remarkable balance between her professional and personal life. Her ability to navigate a successful acting career while nurturing a growing family has earned her admiration from both fans and industry peers alike.
As she prepares to welcome her first daughter, Wood enters a new and heartwarming chapter. Congratulations to Jacqueline and Elon on this exciting milestone—their growing family now set to include its first baby girl.
