CBS Star Mourned: ‘Young & Restless’ Actor Pays Loving Tribute Amid Heartbreaking Rumors
In a time when fans of The Young and the Restless are facing sorrow and confusion, a recent tribute from actor Bryton James—known for his role as Devon Hamilton—has sparked both admiration and speculation.
Amid circulating rumors and misleading headlines about the tragic passing of the beloved CBS star at the age of 35, it’s important to set the record straight. While the video title may imply a loss, Bryton James is very much alive and recently took to social media to shine a heartfelt spotlight on someone very dear to him: his girlfriend, professional dancer Jihara Meyers.
Sharing snapshots on his Instagram Stories, James proudly showcased Meyers performing as a backup dancer during Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour, particularly highlighting her electrifying presence during the May 1st show at SoFi Stadium. The post quickly captured attention—not just from fans, but also from fellow Y&R cast members.
“What you’re looking at is the culmination of a lifetime of work, discipline, dedication, strength, bravery, and belief,” James wrote in a touching caption. “My love Jihara’s journey is what inspiration wants to be when it grows up, and I am beyond proud to be a witness to her art as we share this life together.”
The response from the Young & Restless family was immediate and heartfelt. Co-stars like Amelia Heinle (Victoria) chimed in with admiration, calling Meyers “so beautiful,” while Judah Mackey (Connor) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) responded with heart emojis. Carla Mosley (Dani) added, “Wow, how incredible.”
James and Meyers had made their relationship public not long ago with a tender Instagram post featuring two affectionate photos of the couple, captioned simply: “My everything.” The warmth and sincerity of their bond clearly struck a chord with fans, who flooded the comments with love and support.
In a world often filled with rumors and heartbreak, it’s comforting to see such a powerful display of love and pride. While tragic news circulates too freely online, this moment serves as a beautiful reminder of life’s joys, passions, and the people we choose to walk beside us.
