Mariah has always worn her heart on her sleeve on Young and the Restless,, but when she came back from her recent business trip sobbing to Sharon, fans knew something major had gone down. And no, this wasn’t just the stress of work or a delayed flight. This was real trouble. The kind of trouble that leaves mascara-streaked cheeks and secrets you swear your own mother to never, ever reveal.
Cry Me a River, But Don’t Tell Tessa!
So, what did Mariah (Camryn Grimes) do that was so “very bad”? She told Sharon (Sharon Case) she couldn’t breathe a word to Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) – but that’s the thing with secrets in Genoa City: they don’t stay buried for long. Especially the kind that come with a biological time limit. (Catch up on all the drama here.)
Let’s face it, all signs point to one soapy possibility: Mariah had a one-night stand. Was it a moment of weakness after a few too many drinks on the road? A slip she’s already regretting? And now, fans are wondering what if her little secret isn’t so little after all? What if it comes in the form of a pregnancy test?

And here’s where things get even more delicious. The name floating around the fandom: Aristotle Dumas. Yes, the elusive and oh-so-mysterious man we’ve been hearing whispers about. If Mariah’s “bad decision” involved Aristotle, this could be the ultimate way to bring him into town with a bang…literally and figuratively.
Baby Bombshell Brewing in Genoa City?
Picture this: Tessa and Mariah finally back in their groove, talking baby plans again, and then boom! Mariah’s got a bun in the oven and no idea how to explain it. Cue heartbreak, confrontation, and maybe even a custody twist. And if Aristotle turns out to be the baby daddy? Let’s just say Genoa City better buckle up.
Is it messy? Absolutely. Is it soapy? You bet. And that’s exactly why we can’t look away. This secret won’t stay quiet forever. And if there’s a baby on board, she’s only got nine months until everything changes.
