Like many people, Melissa Ordway has to make important decisions. One big decision she made occurred 14 years ago and The Young and the Restless actress considers it the best thing she’s done.

Key Takeaways

  • Melissa Ordway and her husband, Justin Gaston, celebrated their wedding anniversary.
  • Ordway says choosing Gaston was her “best decision.”
  • On Y&R, Abby and Devon’s marriage is still on shaky ground.

Melissa Ordway Grateful For Husband

Abby’s had to endure many heartaches in her romantic life on Y&R. But for Ordway, it’s the opposite.

The actress and her husband Justin Gaston are still going strong after 14 years together. On September 22nd, the couple celebrated their wedding anniversary and Ordway commemorated the occasion with a heartfelt Instagram post.

”9.22.12 🤍 Through the good times and the bad, the laughter and the tears, choosing you is still the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m so grateful for this life we’ve built and that we get to live it together.”

The actress captioned a black-and-white photo from their wedding, calling it “the best party ever.” Ordway then ended her post with an “I love you” to her husband and wished him a “Happy 14th anniversary.”

Abby and Devon’s Marital Woes

While Ordway and Gaston are still as happily in love as ever, the same can’t be said for her Y&R character. Abby’s marriage to Devon (Bryton James) has hit a bumpy road this past year.

Devon’s dealing with a lot of anger, which started with Mariah (Camryn Grimes) kidnapping Dominic (Ethan Ray Clark). His issues increased following Lily’s (Christel Khalil) reunion with Cane (Billy Flynn) and Holden (Nathan Owens) becoming a member of the Winters family.

Devon’s anger issues caused tension in his marriage. At one point, a distraught Abby was losing hope.

However, things seem to be taking a positive turn. Devon decided to quit Winters and do something more productive in his life. His new goal is to build a college dedicated to his late father, Neil (Kristoff St. John).

Although it looks like things are turning around for Devon and Abby, more trouble could be arising. With Devon focused on the college, he might have little time for Abby and their son.

If Abby feels lonely and neglected, she could turn her attention elsewhere. Perhaps Abby could take up Daniel’s (Michael Graziadei) offer of a shoulder to lean on, thus sparking an affair.
