A Whirlwind of Love and Family
Vanessa Ray, beloved for her role as Eddie Janko-Reagan on "Blue Bloods," has recently welcomed a new addition to her family, bringing immense joy and excitement. Vanessa and her husband, musician Landon Beard, are thrilled to announce the adoption of their baby boy, Isaac Ray Beard. The couple’s decision to adopt was spontaneous, driven by a profound sense of love and the desire to expand their family.
The Journey to Parenthood
Ray’s journey to motherhood was filled with rapid decisions and heartfelt support from close friends and colleagues.
Vanessa credits her co-star Bridget Moynahan, who plays Erin Reagan, for being a pillar of support during this life-changing process. Additionally, actor Peter Hermann provided valuable insights into adoption, drawing from his own experiences.
“Our decision was very impulsive, but it felt so right,” Vanessa shared in an exclusive interview. “Landon and I had always talked about adopting, and when the opportunity presented itself, we just knew it was meant to be”.

The adoption process moved swiftly, from selecting a lawyer to meeting with a potential birth mother. The couple’s excitement peaked when they were informed about Isaac’s arrival, just a week before the end of an actor’s strike.
