The Young and the Restless Star Eric Braeden And His Most Important Role Yet!
Sharing a photo of himself behind his youngest granddaughter and the art that she was creating, Eric captioned it simply with, “With the youngest.”
Clearly, Eric is a very proud grandfather and a family man who adores both his children and his grandchildren. That’s why so many of his fans love him so much! Many of them commented on the photo with, “You are just glowing with pride, Mr. Braeden! I love seeing our youth painting! Young artists are the very best! Can you share the finished product??” along with, “I love you Mr. Braeden! I grew up watching you since I was 14 years old! You’re a magnificent husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather! Movies, as well as television’s super icon.”
Another fan wrote, “Nice to see you enjoying time with your granddaughter. Some people have a difficult time understanding that you’re just a normal guy whose job happens to be acting on a TV show. But being a grandfather has to be your best role yet!”

And there was also this comment: “She’s getting so grown up! And you look every inch the proud Opa I know you are, Eric, you’re beaming! Wonderful picture.”
