Actress Cait Fairbanks, known to audiences as Tessa Porter from The Young and the Restless, has revealed happy personal news: she is engaged to musician and producer Jay Rudolph.
Fairbanks shared a photo of her engagement ring set against colorful autumn scenery, along with a warm snapshot of the couple moments after the proposal. Rudolph posted the same image on his Instagram Stories with the simple caption, She said yes.
The pair, together since 2020, recently celebrated five years as a couple. Their relationship has continued to flourish as Fairbanks balances her on-screen drama with off-screen joy.
A Talented Duo
Fairbanks joined Y&R in 2017 and has since earned three Daytime Emmy nominations one recognizing her acting and two highlighting her songwriting work. Her musical background aligns seamlessly with Rudolphs career as a drummer, keyboardist, and music producer. He has performed with artists such as Weyes Blood and Nick Waterhouse.
Since their relationship began in October 2020, the couple has frequently shared glimpses of their life together. Last year, Fairbanks marked their anniversary with a set of photos and videos capturing playful moments, red-carpet appearances, and everyday memories, writing, Love my honey. Thanks for the best four years.
Real-Life Happiness Amid On-Screen Turmoil
While Fairbanks celebrates a new chapter in real life, her character Tessa continues to navigate emotional challenges on Y&R, including strain in her marriage to Mariah and a complicated dynamic with Daniel. Fans now enjoy the contrast between the characters dramatic journey and the actresss personal milestone.
Warm congratulations go out to the newly engaged couple.
