Matthew Atkinson, the former star of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” recently took to social media to share some exciting news with fans. Known for his role as Thomas Forrester on the show, Atkinson revealed that he and his wife, Brytnee Atkinson, are expecting a baby girl. The couple’s Instagram post, captioned “Baby Girl Atkinson loading… 🎀,” featured a sweet photo of the pair.
Atkinson’s announcement was met with enthusiasm from his former co-stars on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Kimberlin Brown, who played Sheila Carter, commented, “Omg!!! So excited!!” Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Atkinson’s on-screen sister, also chimed in, writing, “Ahhhh!! Congratulations!! So so happy for you both! Best news!! 🤍✨”
The couple tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Lake Tahoe on November 8, 2023. Just a few months later, they shared the news of their pregnancy, calling it “Our next adventure.” The couple eventually welcomed a healthy baby boy into their lives.
Atkinson first joined the cast of “The Bold and the Beautiful” in 2019, taking over the role of Thomas Forrester from Pierson Fodé. He appeared on the soap opera until 2024 and made a guest appearance in 2025.
During his time on the show, Thomas returned to Los Angeles with his son Douglas after the loss of his fiancée, Caroline (played by Linsey Godfrey).

More recently, he has been seen in projects like the television film “Psycho Party Planner” and “Everyone is Doing Great.”
