The couple’s complicated relationship history

When it comes to The Young and the Restless couples, Billy and Chelsea are one that garnered negative attention.

Billy and Chelsea slept together after meeting at a bar in Myanmar; unbeknownst to Billy, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) hired Chelsea to seduce him.

Although Chelsea’s arrival creates problems in Billy and Victoria’s marriage, the couple remains committed to each other. A DNA test confirms Billy is the father of Chelsea’s son, Johnny Abbott (Holden and Ryan Hare). Chelsea later agrees to let Billy and Victoria adopt him.

In 2014, the couple started dating after his divorce from Victoria and Adam Newman’s (Mark Grossman) death. Billy and Chelsea become engaged, but on their wedding day, he breaks up with her. Billy announces to the guests that Chelsea slept with Gabriel Bingham, aka Adam.

Although Billy was heartbroken over Chelsea’s betrayal, the two are on good terms now. But could another round in the Chelly relationship be coming?
