‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Darin Brooks and Kelly Kruger welcome Gemma Wynter

There’s a new addition to the Brooks household, and her name is Gemma Wynter. According to People, Kruger gave birth to Gemma on Jan. 29th, and the baby weighed 9lbs, 13oz. “We are overjoyed! We couldn’t be happier!” Brooks told the magazine.

When it came to picking a name for their new baby, The Bold and the Beautiful couple asked their eldest daughter for her input. “We decided to use both because when we asked our daughter Everleigh what name she liked for her baby sister, Gemma or Wynter, she would always say, ‘Gemma Wynter.’ So it’s actually kind of sweet that she now played a big part in naming her baby sister!”

The couple announced their second pregnancy in August 2021

Brooks and Kruger are one of the soap opera community’s cutest couples. The Bold and the Beautiful star met his wife in 2010 when they starred in the sitcom Blue Mountain State. Kruger is also a soap opera darling, having played Mackenzie Browning on The Young and the Restless.

The couple married on Mar. 21st, 2016, and three years later, Kruger gave birth to their daughter Everleigh on Sept. 22nd, 2019. In August 2021, the couple announced they were expecting their second child. Baby Gemma’s arrival is a joyous time for the couple who wanted to give Everleigh a sibling.

Becoming a dad to another girl is exciting for Brooks. “When we found out it was a girl, it was perfect because Everleigh is just so awesome, caring, strong, and such a personality,” the new dad gushed.
