As a long-time General Hospital viewer, I've come to love the character of Sasha Gilmore, played with heart and grit by Sofia Mattsson. Her character has been through it all—tragic loss, addiction recovery, betrayal, and even public breakdowns—but nothing compares to the beautiful news Sofia just shared in real life.
On June 5, 2024, Sofia Mattsson took to Instagram to reveal that she had given birth to her second child—a baby girl—on May 21, 2023.
The post featured a touching photo of Sofia cradling her daughter, with the heartfelt caption:
"Couldn’t ask for a better birthday than spending it with my girl who’s a little over one month today! Born 5-21-23 💖"
As someone who’s followed both her on-screen and off-screen journeys, I was thrilled to see such a private and joyful moment finally shared with the public. Even more fascinating? This was the first time we were seeing the baby—one whole month after her birth! That quiet grace and privacy made the reveal all the more meaningful.
Sofia and her husband, Thomas Payton, welcomed their first child—a son—in July 2021, and now, two years later, their family has grown by one more.
