Abby Newman of The Young and the Restless is poised at the start of a new conjugal life. The character who was born in controversy and has been the source of many disreputable events in the past, has changed into a mature and responsible adult in recent years. Her devotion towards Devon, the biological father of her surrogate child has turned into a romance that should have a happy ending.

Portrayed by Melissa Ordway, Abby was first conceived in 2000, when Ashley Abbott had inseminated herself to mother Victor Newman's child without his knowledge. Raised as Abby Carlton, she learned about her birth later. After getting control over Carlton Estates following her foster father, Brad Carlton's death, the character presented herself as a social rebel.

However, over the years, Abby Carlton Newman has developed into a wise businessperson. Her collaboration with Devon Winters, culminated in his asking for her hand in marriage and Abby accepted.

In The Young and the Restless episode aired on July 24, 2024, Devon Winters asked Abby if she would marry him. He warned her that he would go down on his knees. However, he was eager to buy the engagement ring if she accepted. In response, Abby was delighted to accept the proposal.

The relationship between Devon and Abby had been in development for quite some time. They are both business collaborators as well as romantically involved. They got involved after Abby's marriage broke down and Devon took an active interest in her child, Dominic, who is also Devon's baby.

Fans of The Young and the Restless have been looking forward to the next stages of the relationship for this pair for a long time. Lilly's loyalty towards Billy seemed to keep Devon occupied, and he confided the same to Abby. However, when Lilly cleared that she would not join his company, Devon decided to stop acting alone. He put forth his marriage proposal. Abby's acceptance is expected to bring this family closer.

Devon and Abby have been in touch since her son's birth. When Abby Carlton Newman was married to Chance Chancellor, she wanted to have a baby. However, the doctors informed her that having a biological child was not possible. As such, Chance suggested she go for surrogacy and she chose Mariah to carry the baby.

However, with Chance having a low sperm count and leaving Genoa City around the same time, Abby was left alone to plan for her family. As such, she had to depend on Devon Winters to be the father of her baby. After Dominic Chancellor's birth, Abby was pressured by Devon to share the baby's custody with him. Initially reluctant, she accepted after being convinced by Chance.

Later on, Chance's negligence towards his family made Abby get close to Devon and confide her sorrows in him. However, an unintended intimacy between the two was witnessed by Chance and he called for a divorce. Despite trying to save her marriage, as The Young and the Restless fans found out, Abby had to let Chance go.

With Chance gone from her life, Abby had Devon as the co-custodian of her son Dominic. This strengthened their friendship which soon turned into a romantic relationship, to the delight of The Young and the Restless viewers.

After her acceptance, Abby has a forthcoming marriage in The Young and the Restless. Sharing a good rapport with Devon, Abby will likely have a successful marriage. Moreover, the family unit of Abby, Devon, and Dominic will have stronger bonds.
