A powerful daytime dynasty is coming to an end.

Kruger and Brooks are both veteran soap stars, having gotten their respective starts in daytime in the early 2000s.

Brooks got his first acting gig in 2005 on *Days of Our Lives*. He took over the role of the quick-tempered adoptee Max Brady from Ryan Brennan, and played the character to multiple Daytime Emmy nominations through 2010. Brooks then moved over to *Bold* in 2013 to play the strong-willed playboy Wyatt Spencer, earning another Emmy nod in 2021 and concluding his run in 2024.

Kruger, meanwhile, got her start taking over for Ashley Bashioum as Mackenzie Browning on *The Young and the Restless* in 2002. That stint lasted two years, with a follow-on of two years in 2018 and 2019. The actress found her groove in 2013 on *Bold*, the*Y&R* sister series, playing the good-natured publicist Eva. Kruger and Brooks overlapped on the show for six years (on and off), with Kruger eventually wrapping up her time in 2021.

The couple met on a different series. They were both cast on the the Paramount Network (née Spike TV) original *Blue Mountain State*, a collegiate football sitcom that also starred Denise Richards and a pre-*Reacher* Alan Ritchson.

"We actually have the same acting coach, Ivana Chubbuck, and I had booked a role on the show," Kruger revealed in a joint interview with Soaps.com* *in 2016. "She basically called Darin and said, 'Look out for my girl, she is going to be on the show.'"

Brooks recalled, "We became best friends and for a good three to six months she was telling me who to date. We were spending so much time together and one day I just grabbed her head and I kissed her."

The pair married in March 2016, and later welcomed two children: Everleigh, 6, and Gemma, 4.
