Adam Newman breaks up with Sally Spectra on ‘The Young and the Restless’

There’s no denying that Adam and Sally are the most popular couple currently on The Young and the Restless. The two have a lot in common with their devious pasts. When Sally was down on her luck after her and Tara Locke’s (Elizabeth Leiner) scheme backfired, Adam gave her a second chance. Although Adam maintained their relationship was strictly professional, he fell in love with the redheaded businesswoman.

Throughout the past year, the two have turned their lives around for the better. Yet, their relationship is being tested by Adam’s family. With Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) back as CEO, she’s ruling Newman Enterprises with an iron fist and making Adam and Sally her targets.

Adam knows how much being COO of Newman Media meant to Sally and doesn’t want to jeopardize her job. Fearing that Victoria will take her hatred for him out on Sally, Adam makes a sacrifice. He breaks up with Sally to save her job and keep her out of Victoria’s warpath.
