SOAP STAR JUDI EVANS’ SON DIES AT 23!

- NE

IT’S a double tragedy for soap star Judi Evans!

Less than a month after Judi, 55, lost her contract at the soap opera “Days of Our Lives,” her son, Austin Michael Luciano, died suddenly on Friday,

Dec. 13, at age 23!

At press time, no cause of death was released — but a source said it was terribly shocking because he was starting a career in sports management.

The source told The National ENQUIRER, “Austin and his mom were planning a wonderful Christmas together. It was happy times. She’d hoped his struggles were behind him.” Austin was born May 26, 1996, while Judi played Paulina Cory on the soap opera “Another World.”

Fans followed along with her real-life pregnancy after her character became pregnant, too!

Her son earned some child acting credits, and they recently shared the screen in the 2019 movie “I Am Not for Sale: The Fight to End Human Traffickin­g.”

Judi did not respond to a request for comment.
