Kyle Exposes Claire’s True Colors — Having an Affair and Getting Pregnant with Holden | Y&R Spoilers

Get ready, Young and the Restless fans — because the drama in Genoa City is about to reach an explosive new level. This week’s episodes deliver one of the most jaw-dropping twists yet, as Kyle Abbott uncovers a shocking secret that sends shockwaves through the Newman and Abbott families alike. The woman everyone thought was innocent and misunderstood, Claire Grace, finally has her dark side exposed — and it’s a scandal no one saw coming.

According to Y&R spoilers, Kyle’s discovery begins innocently enough. He’s been working closely with Claire on a Newman-Abbott collaboration, trying to prove himself after his messy breakup with Audra. On the surface, Claire seems like the picture of professionalism — composed, polite, and eager to rebuild her reputation after her troubled past. But Kyle starts to notice inconsistencies in her behavior. Late-night calls. Mysterious meetings. And a growing tension whenever the name Holden comes up.

At first, Kyle brushes it off. After all, Genoa City thrives on gossip and half-truths. But when he overhears a heated argument between Claire and Holden at Society, he realizes something far more scandalous is going on. “You can’t just walk away from this,” Holden hisses under his breath. “Not now. Not after what we’ve done.” Claire looks panicked and whispers, “If anyone finds out, it’ll destroy everything.”

That’s all it takes for Kyle’s curiosity to turn into suspicion. He begins digging into Claire’s recent activities, determined to uncover what she’s hiding. What he finds shocks him to the core: hotel receipts under fake names, deleted text messages, and a medical record that suggests Claire might be pregnant — and Holden could be the father.

In true soap fashion, Kyle doesn’t keep the secret for long. Confronting Claire in her office, he lays everything on the table. “You’ve been lying to everyone,” he says coldly. “Pretending to be this sweet, reformed woman while sneaking around behind everyone’s backs. How long were you planning to keep this going?”

Claire’s composure cracks. Her voice trembles as she tries to defend herself. “You don’t understand,” she pleads. “It’s not what it looks like.” But Kyle refuses to let her twist the truth. “Don’t insult my intelligence,” he fires back. “You’re having an affair with Holden — and now you’re pregnant. How long before you planned to tell him? Or were you just hoping to trap him?”

The confrontation is explosive. Claire breaks down, admitting that she and Holden had been seeing each other in secret for months. “I didn’t mean for it to happen,” she confesses, tears streaming down her face. “He made me feel seen — like I wasn’t just the broken girl everyone whispers about. I didn’t want to hurt anyone, Kyle. I just wanted something real.”

But Kyle, still stinging from his own history of betrayal, isn’t moved by her excuses. “You talk about wanting something real,” he snaps, “but all you’ve done is lie. You’re no better than anyone you claim to be different from.”

Word spreads quickly through Genoa City, and before long, the entire Newman family is in an uproar. Victoria, already emotionally exhausted from the truth about Claire’s past, feels blindsided all over again. “After everything I did to help her rebuild her life,” she says bitterly to Nikki, “this is how she repays us? With more lies?”

Nikki, ever the voice of reason, tries to calm her daughter. “We’ve all made mistakes,” she says carefully. But Victoria shakes her head. “This isn’t a mistake. It’s a pattern. Claire’s been playing us from the start.”

Meanwhile, Holden finds himself cornered. When Kyle confronts him, demanding the truth, Holden reluctantly admits his involvement. “I never meant for it to go this far,” he says. “But Claire was vulnerable. We both were. It just happened.” His confession only fuels the scandal further, and soon, Genoa City is buzzing with rumors about the forbidden affair and the possible pregnancy that could change everything.

The fallout is brutal. Victor steps in, furious that another scandal is threatening the Newman legacy. “This family will not be humiliated,” he declares. “If Claire thinks she can manipulate us again, she’ll learn what happens to those who cross a Newman.”

Backed into a corner, Claire has nowhere to run. In a heartbreaking final scene, she confronts Kyle once more, her voice trembling but defiant. “You think exposing me makes you righteous,” she says. “But you’re not perfect either. You’ve lied. You’ve cheated. You’ve broken hearts. So before you judge me, remember — we’re not that different.”

Kyle doesn’t respond. He simply turns and walks away, leaving Claire alone with the weight of her choices. As the camera pans out, she clutches her stomach, whispering, “I’ll protect my baby… no matter what it takes.”

The revelation sends ripples across Genoa City — alliances will crumble, loyalties will be tested, and the question on everyone’s mind remains: is Holden really the father? Or is there another twist waiting to be revealed?

One thing’s for certain — in The Young and the Restless, secrets never stay buried, and the truth always comes at a cost.
