Abby Newman has had many love affairs in The Young and the Restless

Abby Newman has had a long, complicated love life throughout The Young and the Restless. Aside from her marriage to Dr. Ben Ryburn and Chance Chancellor, she's also been involved with many other people throughout her life.

As a teenager, Abby fell for Ryan Callahan, who worked at Crimson Lights. Later, when she was Daniel Romalotti's girlfriend, she went through an exhibitionist phase where she would perform publicity stunts to draw attention to herself and whatever social cause she was invested in.

One such incident involved her riding a horse, naked, through the Genoa City Atlantic Club, which was videotaped by Daniel and earned her the nickname "The Naked Heiress".

Abby would then date Carmine Basco until he began an affair with Lauren and ended things with her. Abby was also romantically involved with Detective Alex Chavez.

Abby would subsequently begin an affair with Noah Newman's nephew, Tyler Michaelson, and the two got serious and considered a committed relationship. However, Abby eventually ended things once Tyler could not let go of Mariah Copelan, his ex.

Abby also had an extramarital affair with Austin Trevors. Austin was married to Summer, and he later wound up dead in the Abbott cabin under mysterious circumstances.

Abby's first marriage was to Dr. Ben "Stitch" Rayburn. Ben had feelings for Abby's stepmother but he tried to make the marriage work until his child from a prior marriage butted in.

During one stressful encounter, Abby tripped down the stairs and had a miscarriage, spelling the doom of the marriage. Dr. Ben continued to be on bitter terms with Abby from that point.

Abby then fell victim to the devious machinations of Zack Stinnett, who lured her into a romance only to reveal himself as the mastermind of a s*x ring and locked her in a storage closet.

She was locked alongside Lauren's son, Scott, who had tried to expose Zack's s*x ring, and the two became intimate, but eventually parted ways overseas after escaping from Zack's grasp.

Abby's second marriage in The Young and the Restless was to Chance Chancellor, with whom she went through many trials and tribulations together. However, their relationship eventually broke apart after she cheated on him with Devon, who was also the sperm donor for their child. Abby is now engaged to Devon.


Abby Newman is currently being played by Melissa Ordway on The Young and the Restless. The show airs on CBS.
