Children may be too young to recall their first birthday celebrations, but that’s not going to stop parents from having a party for them anyway! The Bold and the Beautiful star Darin Brooks and his wife, Kelly Kruger (ex-Mac, The Young and the Restless), recently celebrated daughter Everleigh turning 1-year-old.

Kruger made the soap scene when she assumed the role of McKenzie Browning, the long-lost granddaughter of Katherine Chancellor (the late Jeanne Cooper). During Kruger’s run in Genoa City, she wed Billy (then, Ryan Brown; now, Jason Thompson). The couple chose to dissolve the union as they mistakenly learned that they were related by blood as it was believed, at the time, that Billy’s mother Jill (Jess Walton) was Kay’s daughter. Later, that turned out not to be the case.

Brooks debuted as Max Brady, the adopted son of the late Caroline (Peggy McCay) and Shawn (Frank Parker), in 2005. For his portrayal of Max, Brooks won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series in 2009. He then joined the cast of BB as Wyatt in 2013. Shortly after his arrival, it was established that Wyatt was the long-lost son of Bill Spencer (Don Diamont). This set the stage for many stories of two brothers — Wyatt and Liam (Scott Clifton) — to do battle. Kruger recurs on BB as Eva, Forrester International’s ace publicist.

Brooks and Kruger met when she guest-starred on his prime time series Blue Mountain State. Soap Hub joins Brooks and Kruger in wishing Everleigh a happy first birthday and many, many happy returns! The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS. Check local listings for air times.
