The Bold and the Beautiful star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood has expanded her family again with husband Elan Ruspoli. On October 23, 2025, the 38-year-old actress shared that a fifth son has arrived — and later confirmed his name as Talon Ruspoli. The joyful update came with a peek at life at home and a message about stepping back from social media to savor the moment.
Wood, who plays Steffy Forrester Finnegan, marked the announcement with a caption that captured the bliss of newborn days: “A little slice of paradise ☀️🤍🐥.” In the comments, she added candid details about how the delivery unfolded and how the first days have felt: “Welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby boy at home 🕊✨ … This season has been all about being still, soaking in every precious moment, and embracing the quiet magic of new beginnings. Social media took a little back seat, but I’m so happy to be back and say hello again 🤍.”

The name reveal: Talon joins Rise, Lenix, Brando, and Valor
After the birth confirmation, Wood shared the baby’s name in a newsletter update and set the record straight about rumors. “For the record, we have a beautiful, healthy baby boy, everything has been wonderful, and the stories that circulated over the last few months are not true,” she wrote, before adding, “We welcomed our newest baby boy: Talon Ruspoli.”
Talon joins four big brothers — Rise (6), Lenix (4), Brando (3), and Valor (2). Earlier in the year, Wood also reflected on motherhood in her newsletter, writing, “I’m almost 7 months pregnant! Our family is beyond excited, and my kids are over the moon,” and describing how she focused on staying strong, prioritizing protein, and keeping a peaceful home environment for her family.
How and when the news broke
The welcome was widely reported on October 23, 2025, with Wood’s quotes about a home birth and her return to posting appearing that afternoon in the United States. A separate overnight feature highlighted her decision to reveal the name Talon via newsletter and to address inaccurate speculation.
Days earlier, Wood had shown a first glimpse of her newborn in photos and short videos, pairing that “slice of paradise” caption with a note that she was “soaking in every precious moment.” Soon after, fans also learned that the delivery took place at home, as she shared directly in a post comment.
Career milestones and a growing family
Wood has been part of The Bold and the Beautiful since 2008 and has earned multiple Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress — in 2019, 2021, and 2023. Throughout those years, she and Elan Ruspoli embraced building a big family. Earlier this year, she revealed in her newsletter that she was “almost 7 months pregnant” and that “our family is beyond excited,” noting it was “such a special time … so much love, energy and anticipation!”
The baby news arrived alongside a busy professional stretch. Supervising Producer Casey Kaspryzk confirmed in September that Wood was back on set, sharing a photo with co-star Tanner Novlan and their on-screen children and writing, “Excited to have Jacqueline MacInnes Wood back on set and taping her first scenes at our new studio!” Fans then saw Steffy Forrester return to TV screens on Monday, October 20, only weeks after she revealed she had given birth to her fifth baby boy.

Quotes, credits, and what’s next
The “slice of paradise” caption was paired with family‑life visuals and the first peek at Talon. The home‑birth detail came directly from Wood’s own comment — “Welcomed a beautiful, healthy baby boy at home 🕊✨” — followed by her note about “being still” and “embracing the quiet magic of new beginnings.” The later newsletter message named Talon Ruspoli and pushed back on unverified chatter with: “the stories that circulated over the last few months are not true.”

How the update fits into The Bold and the Beautiful universe
While personal milestones happen off-screen, family news for a star like Wood can shape audience engagement and scheduling for a long‑running daytime drama. Her early newsletter hints and the September confirmation from Casey Kaspryzk set expectations that Steffy Forrester would be back in the mix quickly. That timing helps the show keep momentum around Steffy and Finn while allowing the actress the space to focus on her newborn at home.
For viewers, another baby boy in the Wood‑Ruspoli household adds to an already beloved family narrative that fans have followed through pregnancies, returns, and award‑winning performances. With Talon’s name now public and Steffy visible again on screen, the latest chapter aligns with how The Bold and the Beautiful balances its off‑camera realities with on‑camera arcs.
The Bold and the Beautiful — the takeaway
The Bold and the Beautiful fans now have the essentials: Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and Elan Ruspoli welcomed their fifth child, a son named Talon Ruspoli, after a home birth and a brief social media pause.
