Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, renowned for her role as Steffy Forrester in the long-running soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, has announced the name of her fifth child, a son named Talon Ruspoli. The actress shared this joyful news with her followers on Instagram following the child’s birth on October 14, 2023.

In a heartfelt update, Wood expressed her gratitude to fans, stating, “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.” She acknowledged that her social media presence had diminished during this time, but she was excited to reconnect with her audience.
Home Birth and Family Life
