Katherine Kelly Lang has played the fearless Brooke Logan on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful for over three decades now. During this time, she has been married and divorced twice. Now, the Daytime Emmy Award-nominated actress is in a relationship with a man much younger than her.
Lang, who turned 59 in July this year, is currently dating personal trainer Dominique Zoida, who is 14 years younger than the actress. Katherine is absolutely smitten with her partner, whom she has been with for over six years now. They met on the set of B&B when Dominique was hired to train the actors for the Malibu Triathlon many years ago.
Before playing Ridge Forrester on B&B, Thorsten Kaye was Patrick Thornhart in One Life to Live in the late 90s. He met his wife, Susan Haskell, on set, and they played lovers on the show. The couple also played opposite each other on Port Charles in the early 2000s. They have two daughters together.
Scott Clifton’s real-life romance is nothing like his character’s. In an interview, he revealed that he can’t relate to his B&B character and his never-ending relationship problems. Unlike Liam, Scott has found the woman he wants to spend his whole life with.
The actor has been married to Nicole Lampson since October 2012, and they also have a child together. Their son, Ford, was born in May 2016.
While Rena Sofer’s life may not be as scandalous as Brooke’s, the actress does have a soap-worthy love life. She married director Sanford Bookstaver after meeting him on the set of The Chronicle in 2001. After almost 14 years of marriage, the couple called it quits in 2017 and divorced.
However, they remained on good terms to co-parent their daughter. In 2018, Sanford flew in from New York to LA, where Rena was celebrating her birthday, just to surprise her. This gesture helped Rena realize that they had something special, and eventually, they reunited. Rena later shared with Soaps In Depth that she still calls Sanford her ex-husband and finds it hilarious.
On September 17, 2011, Heather Tom got married to her boyfriend of 15 years, musician James Achor. The couple was engaged less than a month before tying the knot in a quiet ceremony. On October 28, 2012, Tom gave birth to a son, Zane Alexander Achor. About a year later, the baby became her co-star on B&B, playing the role of her on-screen son, Will Spencer.
After Don Diamont’s first marriage ended in 2002, he began dating his then co-star Cindy Ambuehl. They welcomed twins and dated for the following nine years before tying the knot. Before marrying Cindy, Don had another relationship with a co-star.
During his time on Days of Our Lives, the actor secretly began dating Gloria Loring, his onscreen love interest, who was 16 years older than him. They had to keep their affair under wraps since Loring was going through a divorce with Alan Thicke at the time. The relationship ended after 3 ½ years.
Courtney Hope is currently dating Chad Duell, who plays Michael on General Hospital. If you follow them on Instagram, you know that these two are head over heels for each other. They have been together for over four years now and are still going strong.
In September 2020, Denise Richards celebrated her second wedding anniversary with her husband, Aaron Phypers. The couple has been dating since June 2017 and had an impromptu wedding in 2018.
Recently, their relationship came under fire after Richards’ co-star Brandi Glanville claimed that they had hooked up, but Richards denied the allegations and said that she and her hubby are going strong. Denise and Aaron are parents to one daughter, while the B&B star also shares two other daughters with actor Charlie Sheen, whom she was married to for four years.
Their characters on B&B may not have crossed paths, but Darin Brooks and Kelly Kruger are a supercouple in real life. The soap stars have been married for over four years now. They tied the knot in a traditional Jewish ceremony in Brooks’ home state of Hawaii on March 21, 2016.
The two met in 2010 while they were filming the popular TV series Blue Mountain State. They also co-starred in the 2016 movie Blue Mountain State: The Rise of Thadland. On September 27, 2019, they welcomed their first child, daughter Everleigh, after a year of trying. Kruger shared with Soap Opera Digest that it was a tough journey but worth the wait.
John and his wife Laurette celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on February 16 this year. The veteran actor, who plays Eric Forrester on B&B, tied the knot with his wife on a rainy day in 1980. John was 35, and Laurette was 28 when they said “I do.” The couple are parents to three children—a son and two daughters.
You may recognize their younger daughter, Molly McCook, known for her starring role in the Fox show Last Man Standing. This isn’t John’s first marriage. He was married to late dancer Juliet Prowse from 1972 to 1979 and Marilyn McPherson from 1962 to 1971.
Flo may not have the greatest luck in her love life on The Bold and the Beautiful, but luckily, Katrina Bowden, who portrays her, has been happily married to her husband Ben Jorgensen since 2013. Fifteen years ago, fate brought Katrina and her husband together at a Fall Out Boy music video shoot in upstate New York.
They dated for a short period and reconnected in 2010. They got engaged a year later after Ben proposed the night before the SAG Awards they attended. The couple tied the knot at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden in New York City on May 19, 2013.
Annika Noelle is not one to share her personal relationships on social media. The Bold and the Beautiful actress is active on Instagram, but her posts don’t reveal much about her dating life. However, she did previously disclose her relationship status.
In a 2018 interview with Soap Opera Digest, Annika revealed she was dating Zach Fisher, a musician. The couple was spotted together in December 2017 at Noelle’s B&B co-star Heather Tom’s Christmas party. The two haven’t been seen together publicly since then, and Annika hasn’t dated anyone publicly after that.
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who tied the knot with Elan Ruspoli in 2018, recently shared some details about her wedding with Soaps In Depth. We’ve seen Steffy’s extravagant weddings on B&B, but in real life, Jacqueline chose a low-key event with only her closest friends and family.
In the summer of 2018, while visiting Italy, Jacqueline and Elan decided to tie the knot on a yacht, with one of their friends officiating. Wood gave birth to their son, Rise Harlen, on March 4, 2019.
