Lie and The Young and the Restless star Sean Carrigan announces joyful news — he’s expecting a baby girl with Jasmine Tempsky.
Former Young and the Restless star Sean Carrigan, best known for his role as Dr. Ben “Stitch” Rayburn, is about to embrace a whole new role: fatherhood. This week, the actor took to social media to share some heartwarming news — he and his partner, Jasmine Tempsky, are expecting a baby girl together.
The announcement has left fans beaming with joy and his soap star peers sending in their love.
But that’s not all.
The couple has already picked out a beautiful name for their little bundle of joy: Suzanne Maxine Carrigan.
A summer arrival and a sweet surprise, Sean first sparked speculation about a pregnancy back in January 2025, subtly hinting that he and Jasmine were growing their family. Now, those whispers have been confirmed with an official reveal.
According to their baby registry, Suzanne is expected to make her grand entrance into the world in August 2025 — with the registry strongly pointing to August 23rd as the possible due date.
The announcement came with a sweet Instagram post featuring Jasmine proudly showing off her growing baby bump, while Sean struck a playful pose wearing boxing gloves — perhaps a nod to the challenges and strength required in parenthood.
In a cheeky caption, Carrigan wrote, “Knocked up. Suzanne Maxine Carrigan. August 2025.”
Fans were thrilled, and the comment section quickly filled up with love, support, and pure excitement.
Soap stars showered the couple with love. It didn’t take long for Sean’s daytime television family to chime in with heartfelt congratulations.
Among those celebrating the news were some very familiar faces from across the soap opera world. Finola Hughes (Anna Devane, General Hospital) couldn’t contain her excitement. Brittany Sarpy (Elena Dawson, Y&R) kept it short and sweet with a joyful “Yay!” Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott, Y&R) sent her warm wishes with, “Congratulations Sean, so happy for you both!”
But it wasn’t just his fellow actors who were thrilled. Loyal CBS soap fans poured into the comments, sharing their delight and admiration for the soon-to-be dad:
“OMG, OMG, OMG, I love all of this! So happy for you both! Congratulations!”
“Welcome to the incredible journey. Happy Father’s Day!”
“You’re going to be the greatest and most fun dad in the world!”
“Thrilled for you! You’ll be the best girl dad ever. Get ready to be a fighter!”
A beloved star on and off the screen, though Sean Carrigan hasn’t been seen on The Young and the Restless since his character’s shocking return in 2021, fans haven’t forgotten him.
He last appeared when it was revealed that Stitch was involved in the abduction of Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) — a storyline twist that left viewers stunned and speculating whether the good doctor had truly lost his way or if redemption was still possible.
Many longtime fans were hopeful it wouldn’t be the last we’d see of Stitch Rayburn, as they never got closure on the character’s fate.
And while Carrigan may not be on the Y&R canvas at the moment, his connection to the show remains strong.
In fact, in October 2024, Sean made headlines again when he attended Michelle Stafford’s (Phyllis Summers) 30th anniversary celebration.
Reflecting on the event, Stafford shared, “He was so sweet to come. He’s a homie.”
It’s clear that Sean has left a lasting impression not only on fans, but also on his co-stars — an impression built on kindness, loyalty, and charm.
A new chapter begins for Sean and Jasmine.
As Sean and Jasmine prepare to welcome their daughter into the world, fans can’t help but feel overjoyed for the couple.
Becoming a family of three marks a beautiful new chapter in their lives, and those who have followed Sean’s journey — both on screen and off — are thrilled to see him embrace fatherhood with such genuine excitement and love.
With a little girl on the way, and a name as lovely as Suzanne Maxine, the future looks bright for this growing family.
Whether or not Stitch ever returns to Genoa City, it’s safe to say Sean Carrigan’s real-life story is just as inspiring and heartwarming as anything we’ve seen on the soaps.
