Kristen Alderson’s Baby Girl Is Here
Alderson announced her pregnancy on Instagram back in September with an incredible video of her telling her whole family the news. As she explained, she never expected to get pregnant so soon:
“Surprise!! Taylor and I started trying in April of this year, thinking that it could take us a long time to conceive as it does for most people…after only the second month of trying, we found out on May 22nd (while I was in LA staying w/ Brittany Underwood) that I’m pregnant! What I didn’t know when we found out, was that Taylor had already planned our proposal for July 15th!
“He had bought the ring in April, they had bought his mom’s flight in, and everything! The proposal ended up being perfect timing for our gender reveal, and I’ll post a video on that later To say that we are excited, beyond grateful, and living on cloud 9 is an understatement! This has been the most exciting year of our lives. We’re so excited to start sharing everything you all missed this summer! PREGNANT!”
Alderson went on to chronicle her pregnancy on social media and with a podcast and told us all she was in labor on Sunday. She gave birth to Kiera Sky Crousore on January 29 and the little girl weighed in at 8 lbs, 5 oz.

She remained in the role until OLTL’s cancellation in 2012 before bringing the character to General Hospital and Port Charles.
The actress played Starr until 2014 and has been away from the soap scene for the past decade working in real estate and theater.

She also acted as a support system for her brother, Eddie (ex-Matthew, OLTL) while he battled cancer. She is now a first-time mom and we wish her all the luck in the world.
