Meet Kimberlin Brown’s Kids: Alexes Marie Pelzer and Nicholas James Pelzer

Kimberlin Brown is a beloved daytime television actress, best known for her iconic portrayal of Sheila Carter on The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful.

Born Kimberlin Ann Brown on June 29, 1961, in Hayward, California, she is currently 64 years old.

Raised in La Mesa, near San Diego, after her parents’ divorce during her junior high years, she spent formative, memorable summers at her grandparents’ ranch in Northern California. She was born to Mr. and Mrs. Brown.

Brown is of Caucasian ethnicity and was raised with Christian values, rooted in a devout Catholic faith. She attended Grossmont High School and later Grossmont College, where she initially explored a career in architecture.

Standing 5 feet 6½ inches (1.69 m) tall, Brown was discovered by renowned modeling agent Nina Blanchard, which launched an international modeling career spanning Tokyo, Milan, and Paris, before she ultimately transitioned into acting.

Kimberlin has been married only once, to businessman Gary Pelzer, since May 11, 1991. Their connection dates back to her early years; they first met when she was 13, and he was 22, began dating at age 18, parted ways for several years, and reunited in 1990.

She has no other publicly documented relationships or previous marriages. The couple shares two children: daughter Alexes Marie Pelzer, born January 31, 1994, and son Nicholas James Pelzer, born February 24, 1998.

Together, Kimberlin and Gary have built a life that extends beyond entertainment, co-owning and operating a successful avocado farm in California. The family cherishes both public moments—such as appearances at red-carpet events and milestone anniversaries—and private time together on the farm.

Below is a closer look at Kimberlin Brown’s children.

Alexes Marie Pelzer

Born on January 31, 1994, Alexes Marie Pelzer is Kimberlin Brown’s eldest child and only daughter. A striking model with her mother’s charisma and confidence, Alexes has stepped into the spotlight in her own right.

In 2022, she guest-starred on The Bold and the Beautiful (playing a character referred to as “Blonde” at Il Giardino), creating a special on-screen moment with her mom that fans adored. She has since returned for additional appearances, delighting viewers with her natural presence.

Alexes and Kimberlin share an incredibly close bond, frequently attending events together such as the Daytime Emmy Awards and the 50th anniversary of The Young and the Restless. On social media, Kimberlin regularly celebrates her daughter with heartfelt posts, calling her “beautiful inside and out,” witty, funny, and full of energy.

In early 2025, Alexes welcomed a son named Colt Nicholas Pelzer, making Kimberlin a proud grandmother once again. The mother-daughter duo continues to support each other in family life and business ventures, often capturing joyful moments on Instagram.

Nicholas James Pelzer

Born on February 24, 1998, Nicholas James Pelzer is Kimberlin Brown’s son and the younger of her two children. Nicholas remains an important part of the close-knit family.

In 2020, Kimberlin joyfully announced his engagement to his now-wife, Kaila Pelzer, and the couple married around 2021 in a beautiful celebration surrounded by loved ones. Kimberlin shared touching photos from the wedding day, highlighting the family’s happiness.

Nicholas has embraced fatherhood as well, and the family welcomed its first grandchildren in 2024, bringing even more love and excitement. He stays connected to the family’s entrepreneurial roots through the avocado farm and other ventures, enjoying a grounded lifestyle alongside his parents and sister. Kimberlin often speaks with pride about her son’s milestones, describing family gatherings filled with laughter and support.

Whether walking red carpets, filming together, or working on the family farm, Kimberlin Brown’s children—Alexes and Nicholas—represent the loving, stable heart of her world.
