Tracey E. Bregman’s Sons: Meet Austin and Landon Recht

The Young and the Restless actress Tracey E. Bregman became one of the most popular soap opera stars with her portrayal of Lauren Fenmore. In addition to her successful acting career, the Emmy winner is a mom to two sons Austin Recht and Landon Recht.

Tracey grew up in a show business family. Her father, Buddy Bregman, was a musician, and her mother, Suzanne Lloyd, is a former television star. The Days of Our Lives alum was able to pave her own path to fame after appearing on her first soap opera in 1978. She debuted her most notorious role on The Young and the Restless in 1983 and appeared on its sister show The Bold and the Beautiful a decade later. Tracey is truly grateful for all of the acting opportunities that have come her way.

“Oh, my soap jobs have been amazing. I have been playing Lauren Fenmore since I was 19,” she told Closer in March 2022. “It’s allowed me to do the two things I love and wanted to do most: be a mom and be an actress.”

The blonde beauty met and married real estate developer Ron Recht in 1987. Their eldest son, Austin, was born in 1991. They welcomed their second son, Landon, in 1996. The couple divorced in 2010 after 23 years of marriage. Since their split, Tracey has remained close to both of her sons and is constantly sharing photos with them on her Instagram. Early on in her career, she tried to find the balance between motherhood and her work schedule.

“All I can say is thank God I did it when I was young because I don’t know how I did it! We were working very long hours then,” the Young Artist Award winner said. “I came home from work, and I was doing bath and bedtime and learning 20 to 40 pages of dialogue. I have to say, my children became very adaptable. I could take them anywhere. If they were tired, they’d curl up, put their head on my shoulder and go to sleep. The studio was so noisy that they learned to sleep through anything!”

Austin Recht

Both Austin and his brother were inspired by their mother’s acting career. “My younger son is an actor and musician,” she said. “Austin used to do extra work when he was home from college. He went to business school. He is amazing in business.”

Austin is the president and cofounder of Global Source Advisors, a company that distributes COVID-19 tests and PPE products. He previously appeared with his mom in the Muppets music video for the song “She Drives Me Crazy.” The pair have maintained a very tight-knit bond, doing everything from tending to the family’s horses to going out to dinner together.

“My sons are my everything, my whole heart,” Tracey gushed on Instagram in September 2021. “They are my best friends, my rocks, the ones I laugh the hardest with.”

Landon Recht

Tracey offered up some advice for her youngest son, Landon, who is pursuing an acting career of his own. “I have always said to everyone, make sure you have a plan B, because it’s a tough business,” she said. “But I’ve seen how talented he is, so I am behind him 100 percent.”

In October 2021, the proud mom posted a birthday tribute to the aspiring actor on his 25th birthday, calling him “authentic, truthful, funny, compassionate, intelligent, emotionally intelligent and so loving.”

Landon also has a special bond with their family’s horse, Standing Ovation, who also has an October birthday. She posted a photo of her son posing with the horse with the caption, “My October babies born 17 days and three years apart.”
