We should all have someone love us the way that Quinn’s portrayer loves Sanford Bookstaver.

“Happy birthday to the [love of my life]!” began Rena Sofer’s September 1 message to Sanford Bookstaver, whom she married in 2003, divorced in 2017 and got back together with two years later. “I am so thankful that I have found the calm in my storm, my rock, my partner and my best friend.”

The Bold & Beautiful leading lady doesn’t speak those words lightly, either. There’s context at play. “In this world we live in today,” she suggests, demonstrating a hard-won wisdom that would serve her character well, “the greatest gift is to find your people. And I have found mine in [Sanford]!”

From there, the actress sang the praises of her significant other, whose name you might not know but whose work you’ve surely seen: He’s directed episodes of everything from Prison Break to Chicago PD. “You are a gifted artist, a devoted and loving father and an amazing partner and friend,” she exclaimed. “Sandy, I am so excited to be by your side not just in life but today! Happy birthday, my love!”

<p>Brooke’s portrayer and her handsome partner love traveling together, and they’re both so athletic that there’s a 50/50 chance you’re getting fitter just by reading this caption.</p>

<p>The significant other of the actor who plays Ridge is Susan Haskell, best known for her role of Marty Saybrooke (opposite his Patrick Thornhart) on <em>One Life to Live</em>. Except at home, where she’s probably better known as Mom to their two daughters.</p>

<p>The real-life alter ego of <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Carter married his college sweetheart in 2007. Together, they have a son who clearly is going to grow up to be drop-dead gorgeous. (Look at ’em!)</p>

<p>No soap could top <em>this</em> romantic storyline. Quinn’s portrayer married the TV producer in 2003, they divorced in 2017, and — plot twist! — the parents of two daughters have since reconciled.</p>

<p>Since the soap-hopping Emmy winner wed her beau in 2011, they’ve added to their family one son, Zane, who once played Katie’s child on <em>The Bold and the Beautiful.</em></p>

<p>The Daytime Emmy winner who brings Steffy to life married her hubba-hubba honey in 2018. They now have four sons, Rise, Lenix, Brando, and Valor!</p>

<p>The hottie who plays Finn is married to the <em>Bold & Beautiful</em> alum who in the mid-2000s appeared on the show as Caitlin Ramirez (and also worked as a love-scene stand-in for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood during the pandemic). The couple have one daughter, Poppy, and a son named Jones.</p>

<p>The daytime vet who played <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Maya is in a long-term relationship with the handsome fella with whom she has two daughters.</p>

<p>Shauna’s off-screen alter ego married her hunky hubby in 2018. The <em>Wild Things</em> vixen was formerly married to actor Charlie Sheen, with whom she has two daughters. In 2011, she adopted a third daughter.</p>

<p>Frantz, whose <em>Bold & Beautiful</em> character Amber Moore successfully crossed over to <em>Young & Restless</em> (and back again!) married actor Scott Bailey in 2011. The sweethearts have three children together: Amelie, Killian, and Lion.</p>

<p>The actor who has given Justin his edge has five children with his wife — four daughters and a son. Or, in soap terms, almost enough characters to populate a daytime drama of his own.</p>

<p>Off screen, <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Donna has been happily hitched to this real-estate developer since 2010. The couple has two children, a son and a daughter, and no trouble looking amazing in every picture. Seriously. Every. Single. One.</p>

<p>The soap vet who plays Eric married his missus in 1980 (only a year after she played Cassiopeia on the original <em>Battlestar Galactica</em>). They have three children, including actress Molly McCook (<em>Last Man Standing</em>).</p>

<p>Brown and Pelzer married in May 1991. The happy couple have two grown kids, Alexes and Nicholas.</p>

<p>Cassandra Creech, who plays the dynamic Dr. Grace Buckingham on <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>, married author/nutritionist Johnny Bowden in 1998.</p>

<p>Sean Kanan and his beautiful wife Michele have been married since 2012 and have a blended family of five. Together, they produce the award-winning Amazon Prime series <em>Studio City</em>, which Kanan also stars in.</p>

<p>Bold & Beautiful star Matthew Atkinson (Thomas) is much luckier in love than his onscreen alter-ego. He popped the question to Brytnee Ratledge in a romantic proposal that took place early in June 2023 and the couple married on November 9 that same year.</p>

<p>Noelle and Amedori stepped out together for <em>Bold & Beautiful’s</em> 37th anniversary party, after becoming Instagram official on Valentine’s Day 2024.</p>
