Here’s everything to know about the union of Danny Romalotti and Christine "Cricket" Blair from The Young and the Restless

On The Young and the Restless, Danny Romalotti and Christine "Cricket" Blair recently got engaged in an interview with People Magazine. The actors expressed that their characters got the much-anticipated reunion as fans were waiting. When asked about the engagement, the Larell Belle, who portrays Christine, said,

“We were super, super excited,... Because it’s been 35 years in the making.”

As the on-screen couple started dating during the 1980s, they got married in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii in 1990. However, they eventually got divorced after a few years, due to a series of misunderstandings caused by Phyllis Summer. 

According to Soap Opera Digest, the major incident of the misunderstanding involved Phyllis’s claim that Danny impregnated her after a one-night stand, while he was still married to Christine. Following Danny and Christine’s divorce, Danny got married to Phyllis Summer. However, he married out of obligation but eventually got divorced in 1998. 

Anyhow, as seen in the recent episode of the daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, Danny proposed to Cricket, replicating a few nostalgic moments from their first proposal and wedding. 

During the People interview, actor Damiane mentioned;

“I think the nostalgia is really beautiful and that's what they're connecting to as well,.... I think that they're like, ‘Oh, my God, finally.’ ”

In the recent episode, Danny shared the news of his proposal with his son, Daniel Romalotti, and asked for his thoughts. Further on, the episode which aired on August 14, 2025, Christine later met with Lauren to discuss her wedding plans, where Lauren suggested designing three different dress options for Christine to choose from. When Daniel and Danny arrived, Christine confessed she was concerned that Phyllis Summers might try to sabotage the wedding and asked Daniel to ensure his mother stayed away.

Speculations suggest that Phyllis Summers could be planning to cause trouble for the soon-to-be-married couple. Danny has already urged his son to ensure that his mother stays out of the way and doesn’t create any unnecessary drama. 

 However, fabs are left wondering if Phyllis will allow Danny to finally find happiness with his one true love, Christine? 

Or will she seize the opportunity to stir up trouble, perhaps joining forces with her new ally, Cane Ashby, to throw a wrench into the wedding plans?
