Young & Restless’ Mishael Morgan Shares Joyful Photos From Not One But Two ‘Proud Mom’ Moments
The CBS soap star has a “little winner” and a “little graduate” on her hands.
Some people spend their weekends relaxing, while others prefer to work before settling in for some fun — and the kids of The Young and the Restless fave Mishael Morgan (Amanda) and her husband Navid Ali did a little of both! First up, the CBS actress posted a photo of her “little winner,” who, along with his team, worked hard to win big.
“Look whose team won the little league championship!” Morgan shared with excitement amid a “proud mom moment,” along with a photo of Niam showing off his championship ring.
But wait, that’s not all…
In a second “proud mom moment,” Morgan shared that her daughter Naliyah had graduated from preschool. “My baby graduated preschool. I am so proud of you my little princess!” she expressed, along with photos of Naliyah in a green cap and gown, making a silly face for the camera as her proud parents smiled with joy. “You are so smart and funny and inspiring; I can’t wait to see the places you will go!”
And while each child was celebrated for their separate win, last month the family took some time out to reach a goal together during a Saturday hiking trip, where Morgan shared, “Staying active with the fam!”
We send both Niam and his little sister Naliyah a big congrats on both of their wins! And, for those who aren’t aware… their mom could win big later this month since Morgan has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Leading Actress in a Drama series.
Speaking of which… take a look at our Daytime Emmy Awards dream picks in the photo gallery below for Outstanding Scene Stealers, Name-Droppers, Fire-Starters, Wig-Wearers and more fun categories.

<p>On the plus side, <em>The Young and the Restless </em>finally reunited Summer and Kyle. But no sooner had “Skyle” fans had their fondest wish granted than they learned the pair had tied the knot <em>off</em> screen. Worse, this news was spread at Victoria and Ashland’s big, splashy wedding in Italy… where Kyle and Summer had relocated to! </p>

<p>Although <em>Days of Our Lives’ </em>Ben spent a whole lotta time shirtless (and that’s not a complaint, by the way), he and Ciara donned era-appropriate garb for a <em>Romeo & Juliet</em>-inspired fantasy sequence. </p>

<p>When Sonny was declared dead, his <em>General Hospital </em>widow moved on by making an honest man out of longtime bestie Jason. Soon after Sonny was resurrected, Jason did the honorable thing by stepping out of the picture and into the no-longer-occupied grave!</p>

<p>For several years now, <em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Billy Abbott has had a lock on this category. After all he’s got an amazing job, a great relationship, good looks, money… so obviously, he’s got every reason in the world to wallow in self-created man pain. While he should be a lock for a win, he’s got stiff competition from… </p>

<p>We’re not quite sure why Noah decided to return to Genoa City. Ever since <em>Young & Restless </em>brought the guy home, all he’s done is moon over ex-girlfriend Tessa and take a job with dad Nick at the never-seen New Hope Foundation. Surely even this sad sack was having more fun in London! </p>

<p>During Krista Allen’s first weeks on <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>, the wig she donned to play Taylor was so distracting, it almost prevented us from seeing just how perfect she was for the part. <em>Almost</em>. </p>

<p>Thanks to Paulina’s casual-yet-name-droppy mentions of “Michelle” and “the White house,” we assumed her <em>Beyond Salem </em>gal pal was the former First Lady. Turned out, Lani’s mom was actually referring to her friend Michelle White. </p>

<p>For reasons we still don’t quite understand, <em>General Hospital </em>added “murdering Franco” to Peter’s rap sheet, angering legions of “Friz” fans in order to reintroduce Roger Howarth as Austin, to whom many have been slow to warm up.</p>

<p>They say it takes a village to raise a child, but in Genoa City, it takes almost as many to name one. Enter <em>Young & Restless’ </em>Dominic Phillip Abbott Newman Winters Chancellor, who, given his ties to every major family in town, is gonna have a heck of a time trying to find someone to whom he isn’t related to date!</p>

<p>We never really got the impression that Vinny was the brightest bulb in the <em>Bold & Beautiful </em>chandelier. But darned if he didn’t manage to track a car, record a perfectly lit video on a darkened street and somehow send it <em>after </em>being run down and killed by Liam. </p>

<p>Offering to trade her unborn baby for Valentin’s ELQ shares was as brilliant as it was cold. The only problem? <em>General Hospital</em>‘s Brook Lynn wasn’t actually pregnant by the Cassadine heir or anyone else! (Conveniently enough, Maxie needed to stash her newborn somewhere for safekeeping… ) </p>

<p>We were thrilled when <em>Young & Restless </em>brought Sean Carrigan’s Stitch back, only to be heartbroken upon discovering they’d turned the sexy doc into a babynapping creep whose motivations made about as much sense as… well, the decision to ruin so awesome a character! </p>

<p>Donna managed to help Eric spice things up in the bedroom with the help of his favorite condiment, a bottle of honey. Unfortunately, the <em>Bold & Beautiful </em>bombshell got her favorite ex all worked up… then sent him home to wife Quinn! </p>

<p>Clearly a big <em>Law & Order </em>fan, <em>Days of Our Lives’</em> Philip realized nobody would believe Brady had killed him unless there was a body. Not wanting to actually, you know, die, he did the next best thing by arranging for his artificial leg to be found! </p>

<p>While Ava’s never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, even <em>she</em> had to decline the cockroach <em>General Hospital</em>‘s Ryan — likely with an assist from Esme — had delivered. There’s bad taste, and then there’s flat-out gross. </p>

<p>So glam was the Newman family’s Tuscan palazzo on <em>Young & Restless </em>that as everyone gathered for the wedding of Victoria and Ashland (then Richard Burgi), we almost forgot to be suspicious of the shady groom. <em>Almost</em>. </p>

<p>Rather than share a hotel room (let alone a bed) with eager-to-please Sheila, <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Deacon opted to literally live in a broom closet at Il Giardino, the restaurant at which he worked. On the plus side, this made for a very short morning commute.</p>

<p>When MarDevil decided to tempt John by morphing Susan into Kristen, the <em>Days of Our Lives </em>seductress was played not by current portrayer Stacy Haiduk but the part’s originator, Eileen Davidson. Why? Hell if we know. (See what we did there?) </p>

<p><em>General Hospital </em>top doc Finn managed to save Chase’s life and prove they were brothers — not, as briefly believed, father and son — all in one fell swoop. (Yet somehow, he was unable to detect that Peter was stunned, not dead, even with the assistance of Nurse Liz!) </p>

<p>After he and Phyllis decided to end their relationship (for reasons that were never really all that clear), poor Nick was relegated to the role of supportive sibling. Somehow, the <em>Young & Restless </em>hunk hasn’t had a storyline — let alone a love interest — since! </p>

<p>As if the old-lady dress Zende designed for Paris for their first official date wasn’t bad enough, a jealous Zoe slipped her <em>Bold & Beautiful </em>sibling an elixer which… how to put this? Made sure their evening was a real gas. </p>

<p><em>Days of Our Lives</em>‘ Chanel kissed Allie… then married the blonde’s twin brother. When the devil morphed Johnny into a jerk, Chanel slept with Allie behind the back of her boyfriend, Tripp. It was complicated and messy… you know, the way real life can be. </p>

<p>No one will ever turn to a Cassadine for child-rearing advice, but this was a doozy even by their standards: Somehow, <em>General Hospital</em>‘s Nikolas thought tormenting and even pretending to stab Spencer was a good way to teach his son a valuable lesson. </p>

<p>We expected <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Zoe to prove hell hath no fury like a woman scorned after finding out beau Carter had shagged her gal pal, Quinn. Instead, the model left town without giving either so much as a frosty glare. </p>

<p>Having even less use for the holidays than a pre-haunting Ebeneezer Scrooge, <em>Days of Our Lives’ </em>MarDevil set the Horton Christmas tree on fire. (Her idea of a carol? “Great Balls of Fire” by Jerry Lee Lewis.)</p>
