Lucas Adams, best known to daytime audiences for his role on The Young and the Restless, is set to become a father for the first time. The 32-year-old actor and his wife, Shelby Wulfert, announced that they are expecting their first baby, due to arrive in February 2026. The couple has chosen to keep the baby’s sex private for now.
The pair shared a series of serene maternity photos taken at the beach, where Wulfert appeared in a beige two-piece outfit highlighting her baby bump, while Adams kept things simple in a crewneck sweater and jeans. The soft shoreline backdrop gave the shoot a peaceful, intimate atmosphere.
Adams and Wulfert’s exciting news comes three years after the couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony at the Chateau Hiddenwood estate in Waxahachie, Texas. The two first met in 2015 on the set of Disney’s Liv & Maddie, where their friendship later blossomed into something more. Wulfert recalled that Adams was the first to confess his feelings — a moment that confirmed they were on the same page all along.
Looking back on their wedding day, Wulfert once described their ceremony as the symbolic start of building a life together, including hopes of expanding their family. Their celebration reflected their close-knit style: an outdoor meal of pasta classics, a two-tier white buttercream cake adorned with greenery, and a sentimental cake topper originally used in Wulfert’s grandparents’ 1951 wedding.
Officiated by a close friend and captured by photographer Natalie Nicole, the event marked the beginning of a new chapter — one that the couple is now continuing as they prepare to welcome their first child. At the time, Wulfert joked that one of the perks of marriage was inventing playful nicknames for her husband, proving the pair’s dynamic remains as charming as ever.
With their baby on the way, Adams and Wulfert are stepping into parenthood with joy, gratitude, and the same warmth that has defined their journey together.
