While Melissa Claire Egan joined "The Young and the Restless" in 2019, it wasn't her first time on the soap. The actress originally appeared on the show in 2011 as the character Chelsea Lawson, who she portrayed until 2018. Egan then went on to portray Chelsea Newman (via CBS). In addition to "The Young and the Restless," Egan has appeared on "All My Children," "One Tree Hill," and "Criminal Minds" (via IMDb).
In her personal life, Egan has been married to her husband, Matt Katrosar, since 2014 (via People). The couple wed in Santa Barbara with a view of the ocean. "I've been married about nine times on television," Egan told Inside Weddings. "I've had every hairstyle, all different dresses, various 'themes' to my TV weddings ... So it was pretty cool to finally do it my way."
Egan and Katrosar welcomed their first child in 2021. Their son, whom they named Caden Robert, was born in August 2021 after Egan experienced multiple miscarriages. "As happy as we are," Egan shared when announcing her pregnancy on Instagram. "The journey to get here has been filled with lots of tears, stress, sadness, helplessness, hopelessness, and two miscarriages. To anyone going through this process or any kind of fertility issues, I feel you, I see you, you're not alone."
