‘The Young and the Restless’: 3 Couples That Will Split in 2022

The Young and the Restless has created many famous couples throughout the decades. Since 1973 viewers have watched epic love stories of duos such as Victor and Nikki Newman (Eric Braeden and Melody Thomas Scott). Yet, as fans know, not every relationship is perfect, and couples might not survive their issues. Here are three couples who may be calling it quits soon.

‘The Young and the Restless’ Victoria Newman betrayed by Ashland Locke

Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) and Ashland Locke (Richard Burgi) are The Young and the Restless‘ power couple. The two are ruling Genoa City’s business with their company Newman-Locke. Yet, their wedded bliss might be short-lived.

Of course, there’s Ashland’s “illness,” which gave him little time left to live. However, he seems to be making a miraculous recovery thanks to treatments. Fans speculate that Ashland is faking his illness to steal Victoria’s money.

Ashland has a shady past, including lying about his identity and altering a woman’s will. Victoria forgave her husband; however, she may not be so forgiving after learning of Ashland’s latest deception. With Victor spying on Ashland, The Moustache will discover his son-in-law is faking his illness.

As fans know, when somebody messes with the Newmans, there will be hell to pay. Odds are Victoria and Ashland’s divorce won’t be amicable.

Trouble brewing for Sharon Newman and Rey Rosales

Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) and Rey Rosales (Jordi Vilasuso) are one couple who’ve had their share of issues. Their main conflict is Sharon’s friendship with her ex-husband Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). Despite Sharon’s reassurance, she loves Rey; the detective can’t help but be jealous of Adam.

However, it’s another of Sharon’s ex-husbands he should be watching. Sharon and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) have spent more time together. With Nick single again, speculation is that he and Sharon could be headed for a reunion.

Although Rey will be heartbroken over losing Sharon, fans have the perfect woman in mind for him. Many viewers believe he and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) will make a great couple. As one Twitter user wrote, “Rey has a real sparkle around Chelsea, and she’s due for someone good in her life.”

Abby Newman headed for more heartache with Chance Chancellor

Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) is unlucky in love on The Young and the Restless. The Newman heiress thought she finally found happiness with her husband, Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd), but their marriage became strained because of his secret mission. Chance’s return to Genoa City and normal life is also causing more problems.

Abby finally realizes how bad things are for Chance and encourages him to seek help. Aside from trying to help Chance, Abby is stressed over the custody battle. Abby is at her wit’s end with Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), seeking more time with Dominic Chancellor (Rainn and River Ware).

With tension mounting in the Chancellor household, Abby may be headed for more heartache with a divorce from Chance.
