For more than three decades, The Bold and the Beautiful has captivated audiences with passionate romances, dramatic betrayals, and

unforgettable love stories on screen. But behind the glamour of Forrester Creations and the intense on-screen chemistry, many fans are

just as fascinated by what happens off camera. As 2026 unfolds, viewers are increasingly curious about which Bold and the Beautiful stars have found real-life love — and which relationships continue to grow stronger away from the spotlight.

 

 

Here’s a closer look at the real-life couples of The Bold and the Beautiful in 2026, where fiction sometimes mirrors reality — and sometimes surprises us even more.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood & Elan Ruspoli

One of the most beloved real-life couples connected to the show remains Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester) and her husband Elan Ruspoli. Married since 2018, the couple has continued to build a beautiful family together. By 2026, they are admired not only for their enduring romance but also for how they balance parenthood with demanding careers.

 

 

Jacqueline often speaks about the grounding influence Elan has on her life, and fans love seeing glimpses of their family moments shared on social media. Their relationship stands as a refreshing contrast to Steffy’s often turbulent love life on screen.

Thorsten Kaye & Susan Haskell

Thorsten Kaye, who portrays the brooding Ridge Forrester, has enjoyed a long-term relationship with actress Susan Haskell. Together for many years, the couple is known for keeping their private life relatively low-key. In 2026, their relationship continues to be a fan favorite due to its stability and quiet strength.

Unlike the dramatic love triangles Ridge is famous for, Thorsten’s real-life romance is built on consistency, mutual respect, and shared creative passions.

Don Diamont & Cindy Ambuehl

Don Diamont (Bill Spencer) and his wife Cindy Ambuehl remain one of daytime television’s strongest power couples. Married since 2012, they are often praised for their supportive partnership and blended family dynamic.

By 2026, the couple continues to appear at events together, radiating warmth and authenticity. Fans often note the irony that Bill Spencer’s chaotic romantic life couldn’t be more different from Don’s steady and loving marriage.

Scott Clifton & Nicole Lampson

Scott Clifton, who plays Liam Spencer, found lasting love off screen with Nicole Lampson, whom he married in 2012. The couple shares a son and is admired for their candid, humorous approach to marriage and parenting.

Scott has often joked about how complicated Liam’s love life is compared to his own, and in 2026, that contrast remains striking. Their relationship is a reminder that while soap operas thrive on chaos, real love often flourishes in simplicity.

Katherine Kelly Lang & Her Private Romance

While Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan) has experienced decades of dramatic romances on screen, her real-life love story is more private. In recent years, she has chosen to keep her relationships largely out of the public eye.
