The Young and the Restless News Update: Donny Boaz Shares His Pride And Joy

Chance Chancellor doesn’t have kids on The Young and the Restless, but we’re getting the idea that his portrayer, Donny Boaz, wouldn’t mind playing a dad on the show. In real-life Boaz is a doting uncle who recently raved about his niece Makenzie’s talent!

“HOW GORGEOUS IS MY LITTLE ANGEL?!?!” Boaz posted on Instagram. “I love her sooooooo so so so much. I couldn’t be more of a proud uncle. I can’t take much credit for her awesomeness, but I am very proud to say, I was able to invest in her dance future.

“This last Christmas I gave my sister @lonilbd (she sure makes some pretty babies, Love you Sissy) ‘x’ amount of dollars to invest into the kiddos extracurricular activities,” the YR star adds. “My Lil Makenzie chose dance. I knew nothing about and had no appreciation for dance until I met @amyeliz1231 (Amy Reese Henry) who got me addicted to #soyouthinkyoucandance and went on to be a #dallascowboycheerleader and @jennyrian (Jenny Durbin Smith) the first person I met who made a living dancing and choreographing dance with the #cowboys and #mavericks.

“So,” Boaz adds, “If you girls ever want to teach lil Kenzie, I’ll make the investment. Thanks in advance. Photo credit: @_nicole_henderson_ 😉 #roi #ilovemyneice #lifeisgood #ilovemyfamily #yr.”

Boaz saw his niece’s dance performance with new eyes, so to speak. The actor recently underwent LASIK surgery to correct his vision. “Free #advertisement for #keywhitmaneyecenter,” he posted on Instagram.

“My #testimonial – I have been wearing glasses and contacts since I was 8 years old. I got #lasiksurgery done yesterday and now… #icanseeclearlynow I am so very thankful that I can see glasses and contact-free now. First thing I wanted to see, was my #beautiful #neice Makenzie, #dance in her very first #recital #thankyou #prouduncle #proudunclemoment #yr.” The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.
