Former The Bold and the Beautiful star Darin Brooks and The Young and the Restless alum Kelly Krueger have sadly announced their decision to part ways after 16 years together. Despite their split, the couple’s focus remains on their family and the love they’ve shared over the years.
A Beautiful Love Story Comes to a Close
Darin Brooks and Kelly Krueger met back in 2010 while working together on the set of Blue Mountain State. Their initial connection blossomed from a strong friendship, and after just six months, romance followed. Brooks reminisced about their first kiss, recalling it as a moment straight out of The Notebook. The rain, the timing—everything felt perfect, marking the beginning of their lasting bond.
However, Kruger took her time to trust the man who would later become her husband. In a candid interview, she admitted to having “major trust issues” when they first met. Over time, as their relationship grew, Kruger began to see the deeper foundation of their bond, especially after witnessing Brooks’ parents’ long-lasting marriage. This gave her the confidence she needed to embrace their connection fully.
