In the world of soap operas, drama extends beyond the screen, and Camryn Grimes, known for her role as Mariah Copeland on The Young and the Restless, recently found herself at the center of a social media storm. Following the birth of her son, Bridger Elias Foster, in December 2023, Grimes and her fiancé, Brock Powell, received harsh criticism from some fans regarding their choice of name. As a new mom, Grimes quickly switched into protective mode, defending her son against the negativity.
Grimes welcomed her first child just before Christmas 2023, sharing the news with her fans on social media. The couple’s decision to name their son Bridger came from a personal place, reflecting their adventurous spirits. The name not only resonated with Grimes’ upbringing—having a unique name herself—but it also honors her father’s roots in Montana, which inspired the name's connection to Bridger, Montana, named after a renowned adventurer.
During an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Grimes revealed that she has always kept a list of unique names on her phone. After considering the meaning of Bridger, she and Powell quickly agreed that it was perfect for their child, embracing its distinctiveness as a family tradition.
