Morgan's tiny bundle of joy will become little sister to Niam, whom the actress had with her husband, Navid Ali, back in August of 2015.
News of Morgan's departure from Y&R broke in June, with many fans expressing total shock and outrage. Rumor has it the decision was made due to contract negotiation issues, but the actress said in her official statement that leaving the show after five years "just felt right."
Funny enough, Morgan's Genoa City alter ego is also pregnant -- though it's a mystery at this time whether or not viewers of the CBS soap opera will get to know Hilary and Devon's child. After all, Morgan's impending on-screen exit may spell doom for the couple's baby, as well. To find out how the powers that be will deal with Hilary's pregnancy and upcoming exit from the series, be sure to keep tuning in to CBS Daytime.
