The Young and the Restless has always maintained a central focus on the various business tycoons of Genoa City, depicting their power struggle with each other and their companies. In the current storyline, the strife is between Victor Newman, Billy Abbott, and Jack Abbott. The battle between Newman Enterprises, Abbott-Chancellor, and Jabot Cosmetics is now influencing the relationship dynamics of the story.
Diane and Jack, who are married and are the co-CEOs of Jabot, have split up this week due to disagreements about their son Kyle taking Victor Newman's side. The storyline has seen Jack trying to have a conversation with Kyle, while Diane angrily vents to Victor and Nikki at the Club, gaining Victor's interest too.
However, many fans are wondering whether this decision is a business strategy to pull the cloth over Victor and Kyle's eyes. If the spoilers are any indication, Victor might even trust Diane and encourage her, giving her way into his company.

Diane, the ex-CEO of Jabot, maybe pretending, so things may not go well for the Newmans. Avid fans of the show have taken to the Instagram comments section of the soap with their speculations:
Many fans also paralleled this tactic with what Victor Newman has done on past occasions. They believe that he might be getting what he deserves if Diane and Jack are indeed conning him:
Additionally, a few fans are also tired of Victor's ruthless and cutthroat personality. They think that someone else might take on the reins of the Newman empire so that Victor finally takes a backseat and stops destroying families:
All in all, The Young and the Restless fans are convinced that Jack and Diane are playing a game of pretend. If this is true, Victor might just be in for a nasty surprise.
What happened with Diane and Jack on The Young and the Restless?
Diane and Jack discovered that Kyle was stealing from Jabot and his parents. He had been roped into Victor's faction and was benefitting Newman Enterprises. Diane believed Kyle must be disciplined, and Jack wanted to take a gentler approach. This resulted in the two of them having multiple public fights, eventually culminating in the split of their marriage last Friday on The Young and the Restless.
Jack and Kyle had a conversation after the split, with Jack admitting to his son that his mother was becoming more power-hungry day by day. He lamented about failing his son, but not Diane.
Meanwhile, Diane came across Victor and Nikki in the Club, announcing to them that she and Jack had split up. Nikki scoffed at her, saying that it must be Diane's fault that caused the relationship to deteriorate. However, Victor seemed interested when Diane said that it was Jack who had ruined her family life.
Diane explained to the Newmans that she was furious at both Kyle and Jack for giving her pain, and wanted them to experience some of the agony they had caused her. She walked off after letting Victor know that if he ever wanted to get back at Jack, she would help him.
Audiences can keep up with Jack and Diane's story by watching The Young and the Restless streaming online on Paramount+ and CBS. New episodes of the soap are released on all weekends.
