Congratulations 🎉🎈🎉! Laura Wright welcomes her first child & the baby’s name has a very special meaning

Hold onto your scripts, soap fans! The ultimate “Daytime Queen” has just pulled off the greatest plot twist of her life, and this time, there isn’t a camera in sight.

We can exclusively reveal that Laura Wright, the powerhouse behind General Hospital’s legendary Carly Spencer, has officially welcomed her first child with longtime love Wes Ramsey in a heartwarming end-of-year surprise!

As 2025 draws to a close, the internet has gone into an absolute meltdown. While fans spent the summer worrying over “complication” rumors and reading into every Instagram post, it turns out Laura was shielding a beautiful secret. Forget the Daytime Emmy nominations—Laura has just secured the most prestigious title of all: New Mom.

The Secret Pregnancy: How She Hid the Bump

For months, rumors swirled like a Port Charles hurricane. When Laura posted photos in that iconic strapless red dress earlier this year, the “bump watch” began in earnest. While some fans feared health complications or private struggles, the truth was far more joyful.

Insiders close to the couple tell us that Laura and Wes chose to keep their journey incredibly private, wanting to enjoy the “miracle” away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. “Laura has spent decades in the spotlight,” a source shared. “She wanted this moment to belong just to her and Wes. It’s a dream they’ve quietly held onto for years.”

By using clever camera angles on the General Hospital set and a wardrobe full of Carly’s signature flowing blazers, Laura managed to keep the world guessing until the very end. But as she cradles her newborn son this December, the secret is finally out!

A Love Story Two Decades in the Making

This isn’t just a baby story; it’s the climax of a romance that rivals any soap opera script. Laura and Wes first crossed paths over twenty years ago on the set of Guiding Light, but the stars didn’t align until 2017. Since then, they have been daytime’s “Golden Couple,” celebrating eight years of unwavering support.

Wes, who famously admitted to having a crush on Laura for years before they started dating, is reportedly “over the moon.”

Friends say he hasn’t left the nursery since they brought the baby home. “Wes always said they needed time to grow into who they were meant to be,” our source added. “And now, it’s clear they were meant to be parents together.”

Fans React: “The Ultimate Emmy Prize!”

The news hit social media like a lightning bolt, and the “Wright-Ramsey” fandom is in full celebration mode. After years of watching Laura’s character, Carly, navigate the highs and lows of motherhood on screen, seeing the actress experience this joy in real life at 55 has inspired millions.

“I am sobbing! Laura looks more radiant than ever. This is the best news of 2025,” one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter). Another commented, “To all the people who were worried about her health earlier this year—she wasn’t sick, she was blooming! Congratulations to the Queen of GH!”

The outpouring of support has been a testament to Laura’s standing in the industry. From her General Hospital costars to her loyal viewers, the consensus is clear: this baby is already the most loved kid in Hollywood.

What This Means for Carly Spencer?

Of course, the big question on every soap fan’s mind is: What happens to Carly? With the Daytime Emmys approaching and Laura’s career at an all-time high following her latest Lead Performance nomination, the actress is expected to take a short, well-deserved maternity leave. Rumor has it that the writers at General Hospital have prepared a “top-secret” exit storyline for Carly that will allow Laura to soak up every second of newborn bliss at her beautiful home.

But don’t worry, Carly fans—she’ll be back. And if we know Laura Wright, she’ll return to the set with more fire and passion than ever before, fueled by the love of her new little one.

A Legacy of Strength and Love

As we look back at Laura’s incredible 2025, it’s clear that this was her year. She conquered the ratings, earned the awards, and silenced the rumors by proving that life’s most beautiful chapters can begin at any age.

With a net worth that continues to grow and a family that is now complete, Laura Wright is living proof that sometimes, the “shocking rumors” are actually just the prelude to a happy ending.

Congratulations to Laura and Wes! We can’t wait to see the first glimpses of your little prince!
