The Young & The Restless Star Jeanne Cooper Once Confessed She Dated On-Screen Son Beau Kazer, 21 Years Younger: “He Made The First Move”

The Young and the Restless Star Jeanne Cooper passed away at the age of 84. She gave one of her most candid and entertaining interviews to The New York Post in 2012. In the Interview, Cooper, who portrayed the Iconic Katherine Chancellor on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless for over forty years, confessed she had an affair with her own “son,” that is, her TV son, Beau Kazer, aka Brock Reynolds.

The wonderfully fabulous late Jeanne Cooper had a hell of a time in her forty-year tenure in The Young & The Restless. Cooper’s “Y&R” alter-ego, Katherine, was an alcoholic, had a facelift, had affairs, and was beaten to an emotional pulp by her philandering husband.

Cooper’s real life often mimicked her on-screen storylines. The actress has been candid about her struggles with alcoholism, her facelifts, and the cheating ex-husband who emotionally destroyed her. However, Jeanne Cooper had never revealed her off-screen salacious tryst with The Young & the Restless co-star until her 2012 New York Post interview. The actress had an affair with none other than her TV “son” Beau Kazer, who was 21 years younger.
