For decades, Brooke and Ridge have been the ultimate on-again, off-again couple on Bold and the Beautiful. Their relationship has survived betrayals, secret children, and more love triangles than a geometry textbook. But enough is enough! Ridge has strung Brooke along for years, and it’s time for her to walk away for good. If she needs any more convincing, here are three undeniable reasons why Brooke should leave Ridge in the past where he belongs!
1. Plenty of Fish (That Aren’t Named Ridge!)
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) is not the last man standing in Los Angeles. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) is a gorgeous, successful woman who could have her pick of eligible bachelors. Why, then, is she still chasing a man who treats her like a second option?
Ridge has spent DECADES bouncing between Brooke and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) like a human ping-pong ball, never fully committing, and always keeping both women on the hook. It’s exhausting to watch—imagine how exhausting it must be to live! Brooke deserves someone who loves her and only her. Maybe a kindhearted doctor? A billionaire with a mysterious past? Heck, even Dollar Bill (Don Diamont) looks good compared to Ridge at this point!

2. Ridge Will Never Change (And Neither Will His Wandering Eye)
Ridge is the king of empty promises. He swears he’ll be loyal, then – surprise! – the next time he gets in his feelings, he’s running off to Taylor’s open arms. He thrives on chaos, loves to be the center of attention, and has a PhD in emotional manipulation. If Ridge had any intention of being a one-woman man, he would have done it by now. But nope, he keeps Brooke and Taylor on a never-ending merry-go-round of heartbreak, and somehow they just keep riding. Brooke, girl, it’s time to get off the ride before you throw up (again)!
3. The Logan-Forrester Smackdown Feuds
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – Ridge and Brooke hate each other’s kids. This isn’t just a “my stepkid is annoying” situation, either. There have been actual insults, betrayals, and decades of pure animosity. It’s a never-ending cycle and it’s not healthy or good for anyone involved.
Just weeks ago, Ridge treats Brooke’s daughter, Hope (Annika Noelle) like the ultimate enemy, while Brooke has had her fair share of shade for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson).
Do we really need another round of “your kid is a menace” fights over dinner? No, thank you! If your man can’t stand your children, he is not your forever person. Brooke should leave Ridge in the dust and find someone who will actually respects her family. Brooke, for the love of all things drama-free – drop Ridge, block his number, and go live your best life!
