Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Welcomes Baby No. 5 – A Beautiful Daughter Named Grace!
The Bold and the Beautiful star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester) has some joyous news to share—she has officially welcomed her fifth child, and this time, it’s a baby girl! After months of speculation and subtle hints on social media, fans can now celebrate with the actress, who recently gave birth to her long-awaited daughter, Grace.
A Long-Awaited Blessing
Wood, known for portraying Steffy on the hit CBS soap, has been on maternity leave and keeping a relatively low profile online. Earlier this year, she stunned fans by announcing she was nearly seven months pregnant, and followers immediately began watching for signs that the new baby had arrived.
Already a proud mom to four sons—Rise Harlen, Lenix, Brando Elion, and Valor James—Wood and her husband Elan Ruspoli had long expressed how full of love their home was. Now, with the arrival of baby Grace, their family feels even more complete.
Grace’s Arrival Was Hinted at in a Poetic Post
Though Wood remained mostly quiet on social media during the final stretch of her pregnancy, fans picked up on subtle clues. One Easter post in April raised eyebrows, where she wrote: “A fresh beginning. Grace in full bloom; may this Easter serve as a reminder that after the longest winters, light inevitably returns.” The heartfelt message now seems like a soft and elegant announcement of her daughter’s name—and her birth.
Seen Smiling Postpartum at CBS’s 40th Anniversary Event
Despite her recent delivery, Jacqueline made a surprise appearance at CBS’s 40th anniversary celebration for co-star Don Diamont (Bill Spencer), seen glowing in photos next to castmates John McCook and Naomi Matsuda. Her radiant smile sparked even more speculation, and now fans know why—she was quietly celebrating the arrival of Grace behind the scenes.
What’s Next for Jacqueline and Baby Grace?
While an official social media birth announcement is still pending, those close to the show believe that Wood will be taking some time off to bond with her new baby girl. Historically, she has shared sweet newborn photos and creative announcements, so it’s likely one is on the way.
For now, fans are thrilled to welcome Grace Ruspoli into the world, the first daughter in a house full of brothers—and the newest light in Jacqueline’s already vibrant life.
