How Many Children Does Victor Newman Have On The Young And The Restless?
In the more than 40 years Eric Braeden's Victor Newman has been part of "The Young and the Restless" canvas, he's been married a whopping 14 times, per Soaps.com. Nikki Newman is his current and most frequent wife and quite probably the love of his life, as Victor and Nikki together make up one of the most popular pairs in the soap's history. Through 14 marriages, Victor is certainly not a childless man, but he actually has fewer children than other soap male characters who have been married only a handful of times.
Through all their marriage and all of their years together, Victor and Nikki only have two children that they share, with Nikki having a son named Dylan McAvoy (Steve Burton) from her relationship with Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) as a teen. Victor also has two children from other relationships, bringing his soap kid count up to four. Who are Victor Newman's four children and how do they fit into the Genoa City scene?
Nikki and Victor's daughter Victoria
Victoria Newman Locke (Amelia Heinle) was born before Victor and Nikki were married on "The Young and the Restless" so she got to be a flower girl at their wedding. Now a grown woman with three kids of her own, Victoria might be considered as ruthless in business as her father, but maybe not as savvy considering the businessman she just married, Ashland Locke (Robert Newman), has been conning her since the day they met and, as of this writing, Victor is getting ready rescue her from that mess, per Soaps in Depth.
Victoria has been through a lot over the years, including several failed relationships with Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) and an abusive relationship with J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill). When she finds out Ashland has been lying to her, she may swear off men for good, which she has done before. But, she is likely to keep on trying to get it right like any Newman offspring would.

Nikki and Victor's son Nicholas
Nicholas Newman (Joshua Morrow), more commonly known as Nick, was born in between Victor and Nikki's first marriage and their second marriage. By the time he graduated high school, he was ready to get married himself so he wed his high school sweetheart, Sharon Collins (Sharon Case) and they remained married for years, raising two kids, which is odd for a soap opera couple, according to Soaps in Depth.
It was when their daughter, Cassie (Camryn Grimes) was a teenager that things went wrong. Cassie was killed in a car accident while driving without a license and Sharon and Nick's marriage fell apart. Nick and Sharon have tried again several times and had another daughter named Faith, as well as a daughter with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) named Summer. He and Phyllis broke up once again in 2021 and Nick seems directionless at the moment, but still spends most of his time with Sharon.
Victor's daughter Abby
When Abby Newman was born, she was known as Abby Carlton and Victor didn't even realize that she was his daughter. Ashley Abbott (Eileen Davidson) was married to Brad Carlton (Don Diamont) but always longer for Victor's baby and stole his sperm from a sperm bank and gave birth to Abby, who learned years later that she was a Newman, according to Soaps in Depth.
An adult Abby (Melissa Ordway) is now married to Chance Chancellor after having terrible luck with men for years, including a failed marriage to Stitch Rayburn (Sean Carrigan) and a failed engagement to Arturo Rosales (Jason Canela). Even her relationship with Chance seems tenuous because he is suffering from PTSD after a dangerous international crime fighting mission. Abby also has a new baby she created when Chance was away using her egg, her friend Devon Hamilton's sperm, and her friend Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) as a surrogate.
Victor's son Adam
In between marriages to Nikki, Victor was married to a blind woman named Hope Adams (Signy Coleman) who he met when he was presumed dead and trying to put his life back together in Kansas. Victor brought Hope back to Genoa City but when she became pregnant, she decided she would raise him back on her farm away from Victor and his upscale life. Their son, Victor Adam, believed Hope's second husband was his father until he was an adult. When he learned the man who would sometimes visit his mom was really his dad, the man who now called himself Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) was bitter and not the best son to Victor or brother to his siblings, according to Soaps in Depth.
In 2021, Adam decided to turn over a new leaf and get along with his family and even has a cordial relationship with his brother, Nick. However, Victoria doesn't like Daddy's other son and is determined to make his life difficult for as long as she can.
