Darin Brooks and Kelly Kruger Call it Quits After Nearly 10 Years of Marriage
The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless alums, Darin Brooks (ex-Wyatt Spencer) and Kelly Kruger (ex-MacKenzie Browning, Y&R and ex-Eva, B&B) have announced they are splitting up after 16 years together in a surprise statement released today.
According to TV Insider, Brooks and Kruger have decided to part ways and have filed for divorce. The status of their marriage comes after they almost would be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary. They had been together actually for 16 years, having met back in 2010.
In a joint statement, Brooks and Kruger shared, “We’re committed to coparenting our two children and remaining friends.” The actors have two daughters together, Everleigh Jolie who was born in September 2019, and Gemma Wynter who came into this world in January 2022.

Ironically, even though they were both soap actors, the two met actually met on the set of Brooks’ now cult favorite college football comedy series Blue Mountain State where he played quarterback Alex Moran, and she played the guest role of Julia King.
Fast-forward to June 2014, and the two became engaged at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris where The Bold and the Beautiful was filming on location and at that time both Brooks and Kruger were on the soap together, when she played Eva, the publicist. Then, in March of 2016, the two had a Hawaiian wedding. Darin is originally from Hawaii.
Professionally, and as previously reported here in an interview with Michael Fairman TV, Darin is busy promoting his new film, The Roaring Game, discussing the real possibility of the highly-awaited Blue Mountain State revival and even teased an upcoming return to The Bold and the Beautiful. Brooks won a Daytime Emmy in 2009 for his role as Max Brady on Days of our Lives.
Kelly Kruger, remains one of TikTok’s top beauty influencers. Having been named, TikTok Shop’s Beauty Creator of the Year in 2025.
So, sad to hear of the break-up of Darin and Kelly? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below. And in case you missed it, you can check out our recent video interview with Darin below, followed by our red carpet interview with the former duo from the 46th annual Daytime Emmy Awards a few years back.
These people for gosh sakes work on your marriage it takes a lot of effort but it is worth it I do not understand why ?? Get counseling get on you knees pray whatever it is worth it . Breaks my heart you give up why you go to another relationship you are going to have the same problems it’s life!
Wow. You’re quite judgmental. How do you know they haven’t tried all the things you’ve mentioned? I imagine it was a difficult decision for them to make. It’s best to stay out of other people’s marriages. Especially when they are complete strangers to you.
Really not judgemental at all just wish they would try hard ten years is a long time.
Got to love a Trump loving Jesus freak. Note the sarcasm.
Again, how do you know they haven’t?
Shut up.
This really is judgmental. You don’t know why they proceeded to get a divorce. Unless you’re a guru on the state of anyone’s marriage, keep your mouth and your judgmental attitude off of this site. No one wants to see it and I’m sure Darin and Kelly don’t need to see it either. Your words are both hurtful and uncalled for. Next time some story like this comes along, instead of being all judgy, keep your trap shut.
‘Nuff said..
Sucks when marriages end, but sometimes people just naturally grow apart from the people they were when they married. It happens. Glad they’re focusing on remaining friends for the benefit of their children.
Please bring Darin back to Bold and Beautiful
He has already stated he is open to it, but he is also working on other projects right now. It’s not as easy as saying “Bring X person back to Y soap!” There is more to it.

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of The Young and the Restless

It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.

Rosie O’Donnell Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
