Soap opera star Greg Vaughan shared on social media that his son will be attending the University of Alabama this year as a freshman.
Vaughan posted a message on Instgram Monday congratulating his son, Jathan, on the milestone of entering college.
“From California skies to Carolina tides, with Texas grit and a touch of European roots—every memory and mile we’ve shared has led you here,” Vaughan said. “Now a freshman at the University of Alabama, stepping into dorm life, roommates, and fraternity brotherhood… maybe even an extra freshman 15lbs.”
“He’s embracing the southern manor ways, becoming a man now and forever. With a senior big sis keeping an eye on you, proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. I love ya, son!”
Vaughan’s longtime partner, model and actress Shanna Moakler, posted a ‘Roll Tide’ in response.
Moakler has her own Yellowhammer State connection.
Her daughter with her ex-husband, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, is named Alabama in honor of a character from Quentin Tarantino’s “True Romance.”
Jathan is the oldest of Vaughan’s three sons.
Vaughan is known for playing on several soap operas since the early 2000s including “Days of Our Lives,” “The Young and the Restless” and “General Hospital.”
Greg has been a regular cast member on “Days of Our Lives” since 2012 in his role as Eric Brady.
His performance as Eric Brady has been praised by critics and in 2018 Greg won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
