Adam Newman and Chelsea Lawson are a popular The Young and the Restless couple. Dubbed “Chadam” by soap opera fans, the pair have been in an on-again, off-again relationship since 2012. The couple split in 2021, but remain connected because of their son Connor Newman.
Connor’s recent diagnosis with OCD has the exes spending time together. During a trip to Baltimore to visit Connor, the couple’s pent-up emotions lead to an unexpected moment. Alone in their hotel room, Adam and Chelsea drank bourbon while reminiscing about their past. One thing led to another, and before long, they were hitting the sheets.

The Young and the Restless brought the fireworks on July 4, 2024, with Adam and Chelsea’s fling. The fallout will be explosive if their significant others, Sally Spectra and Billy Abbott, discover the dirty little secret.

One user simply wrote:
So disappointed in this!
Another fan replied:
I’m so mad about them hooking up. Are we really to believe two adults wouldn’t have stopped for a second and thought about their partners? Terrible writing.
One commenter thinks Sally and Billy deserve better:
I’m disgusted.
I now think Sally has more chemistry with Billy and I’d love to see them together.
While most fans are upset with Chadam’s hookup, some are hoping this will lead to a reunion.
I hope Chelsea turns out pregnant!! It’s been an eternity for Chadam and chadam fans. Finally they’re realizing their feelings!
Is a Chadam Reunion on the Way?
The Young and the Restless writers have been teasing a Chadam reunion for a while. Thursday’s episode seems like the first steps in making that happen. Although the two were immediately wracked with guilt after their tryst, it’s bound to reawaken old feelings.
The two will be torn about keeping their affair a secret or confessing to Sally and Billy. Things might become complicated if Chelsea becomes pregnant and unsure who is the baby’s father. There’s so many ways this storyline could play out, but Chadam’s hookup is definitely going to create drama.
