Young and the Restless Star Amelia Heinle Shares Swimsuit Photo “Thanks To All the Fans”

1. Horseback Riding

Heinle has been horseback riding since her parents got her a Shetland pony. “I was interested in sports, but I loved horses,” she says. “I don’t know how my parents swung it. Sandy wasn’t the nicest pony; she stepped on my feet all the time and threw me off a lot. But it was a good learning experience... We used to ride like crazy when we were kids—bareback, no helmets, just crazy stuff.”

2. Dressage Dreams

Heinle got back into horseback riding and dressage after her daughter expressed an interest in it. She now rides a horse called Prince Caspian. “I knew about dressage, but I was an adrenaline junkie—I loved jumping,” she says. “But dressage is exciting in a different way. It’s a rush when he goes from this beautiful walk to a canter. He’s a big mover, but it’s like liquid. I’m just getting to know him. He’s a little shy, still trying to figure it all out because he’s new to the barn. I sing country-western songs to calm him down.”

3. Victoria Newman Legacy

Heinle knows she will always be connected to the role of Victoria Newman. “It scares me to think, like, I never thought I would be in a place so long,” she says. “Not that it’s gonna end anytime soon, but if it were, like this has become such a part of my life and the people I see on day-to-day basis is like…. This is like a legacy for me almost. I’ll be known for his, for being on Y&R because I’ve been there so long.”

5. Making Time For Herself

Heinle starts work before 7 and often isn’t home until late in the day. “I might get lucky and be able to go to work, ride and get home when my kids get home from school,” she says, adding that her love of horseback riding helps with her job. “I know when I’m doing a scene exactly how I want it to go. It took this long to finally get here. That’s not to say I don’t have crappy days where it looks awful and my acting is worse than I’ve ever seen it or days when I think, ‘Why the heck am I even on camera?’ If that is what dressage is like, I’m ready—I’m prepared to fail miserably in the beginning and just enjoy it. Whether it’s riding a horse or acting on a soap opera, if you’re enjoying what you’re doing, none of the other stuff really matters.”

1. Growing Up On TV

Kenney grew up on TV thanks to her role on Shameless. “Growing up on TV the way I did is something I never expected,” she says. “Nobody knew we would go on and on and on for over a decade! I definitely didn’t think that when I was so young and booked the job. It’s a special feeling to have a lot of people be able to connect and relate to you, even though I don’t know them personally.”

2. Dog Mom

Kenney kept busy during the pandemic lockdowns by taking care of her dogs, and doing other things that make her happy. “I have 4 rescue dogs, so I’m constantly on dog mom duty, which I thrive from,” she says. “So a lot of dog adventures, road trips, I started cooking, baking bread like so many of us, and tons of random crafts and FaceTime with my friends.”

3. Proud of The Conners

Kenney is thrilled to be a part of The Connors after all these years. “I think that all of us are very professional,” she says. “And there’s just so many more stories that need to be told through the Conner family and so many other different aspects of life that we’re going to get to tell, and I’m really excited and grateful for that.”

Kenney likes to relax in the evenings, focusing on her skincare routine and watching reality TV with her family. “I never go to sleep with my makeup on (I also rarely wear makeup), moisturize and always use sunscreen,” she says. “I love La Mer and use it almost exclusively. Reality shows are my guilty pleasure. I just binge-watched Making of a Model with my mom.”

5. Self-Love and Her Future Plans

Kenney is all about being down to earth when it comes to self-care. “Self-love, to me, kind of goes hand in hand with the best acting advice I have received, which is to not judge yourself or take yourself too seriously!” she says. Kenney has big plans for the future. “I definitely want to further pursue directing. I haven’t in a long time since pre-Shameless! I was young. But my biggest passion is photography, and that’s something I am really enjoying lately. I strictly shoot on film.”

1. Being Open About Her Body Image Issues

Amelia opened up about her eating disorder to Glamour. “When I first started struggling with anorexia, I loved when friends would comment on my weight. I have a distinct memory of running into a friend at the mall, right outside Victoria’s Secret. She put her hand on my waist and was like, ‘Oh, my God, Amelia, you’re so skinny, you need to stop!” I loved those comments. They felt amazing, as psycho as that sounds. It was this feeling that fed my eating disorder,” she said.

2. Treating Her Autoimmune Disorder

Amelia also has to treat an autoimmune disorder. “In the wake of my anorexia, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disease that screws with your thyroid,” she also told Glamour. “My body was reacting to being starved for so long. With Hashimoto's I’m going to have to take two pills every single morning as soon as I wake up, maybe for the rest of my life. Obviously that’s not the worst thing in the world, but it’s hard knowing I did this to myself.”

3. Feeding Her Body Nutrients

“All of this has made it so important to me to nourish my body. I used to hear all the time, ‘Your body is a temple!’ but I really didn’t care. I didn’t care how many nutrients my body was getting,” she told Glamour. “Learning about how to nourish my body and how to fuel my body with the foods that make my body happy and energized makes me feel good. Despite all the bullshit and the hard parts of recovery, that’s been a really fascinating part of this journey: I’ve come out of it with such a different passion for health.”

4. Finding Inspiration From Her Mom

“She’s the reason I am who I am. I am so lucky that that is the woman that raised me,” Amelia told People about how her famous mom has influenced her. “To be exposed at such a young age to unapologetically love yourself with zero shame has just made me who I am today.”

5. Strength Training

Amelia trains at The Dogpound, a bicoastal gym boasting strength training and HIIT style workouts. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
