‘Everybody Expecting' Brooke Burke & Scott Rigsby's Wedding Will ‘Happen Soon': ‘A Wonderful Match'
Despite Brooke Burke postponing her wedding to fiancée Scott Rigsby, a source exclusively tells Life & Style the nuptials will go ahead eventually as she's more focused on making sure the event is perfect than rushing into formalities.
'She and Scott are still very much in love,' the insider says. 'She absolutely wants to marry him, but there's also no huge sense of urgency because she already feels like she's married to him. He's very much her partner.'
The Dancing with the Stars alum, 63, got engaged to Scott, 49, in 2021, but still hasn't penned a date for their wedding after four years, despite giving some dates in the past they ended up blowing by. Onlookers unfamiliar with their relationship might suggest they may never get hitched by the way things are going, though Brooke has discussed how much she's looking forward to the ceremony. 'Part of the hold up has been Brooke's perfectionism,' the source explains.
"We really wanna design a wedding that we can enjoy — that's not just a big party for show," she told People in October 2023, adding they were 'committed to 2024' in the same interview.
'For me, it has to be meaningful or not at all, which is the challenge. To do something fabulous and grand and keep that intimacy and keep it special,' the former Wild On! host explained.
Another reason for taking it slow is the fact both Brooke and her hubby-to-be want to take their time blending their families, as she and Scott share six kids between them. Brooke is a mother of four: to daughters Neriah, 25, and Sierra, 23, with ex-husband Garth Fisher, and daughter Rain, 18, and son Shaya, 17, who she shares with ex-husband David Charvet. While Scott is father to daughter Lila, 17, and son Levi, 14.
Brooke said she has a 'great relationship' with her fiancée's kids, especially Levi. As for her own children's affections for their future stepdad: 'Everybody loves Scott. Thank God.'
'The kids are all on board, which is a blessing because I know how challenging that can be and [I] feel very lucky to be able to say that,' she explained. 'They're excited about our wedding, they're excited about life, they're excited about our new home — they just love him.'
The insider adds, 'She has had her daughters help in this from the start, which has been such a joy, they are very happy for her and very invested in it. But that means a lot of cooks in the kitchen so decisions have taken longer.'
Even with the delays, 'Everyone is expecting it to happen soon, they're incredibly happy and such a wonderful match. Brooke is one of the sweetest people you could meet and the great thing about Scott is that he cherishes that — he doesn't take advantage. He treats her like his queen, he knows he scored a huge jackpot with her and he doesn't take that for granted.'
'Brooke's been married twice before, but she says nothing has ever felt this easy and stress free before, they just work so well as a pair.'

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Ridge finds himself struck in the middle between Brooke and Taylor in The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 22, 2025. More The Bold and the Beautiful The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 21, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 20, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 19, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 16, 2025 We begin today at Forrester Creations, where Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) is still looking at photos from the fashion show when Taylor (Rebecca Budig) arrives. Brooke says the press from the show has been amazing, but Taylor shuts down any thought that it means more than business. Katie (Heather Tom) tells Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that what they share is magical, and the whole audience was reacting to him and Brooke on the runway. They were always meant to be together. Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) is sniffing fragrances and thinking about Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor). Zende (Delon De Metz) comes in and says she must be thinking about something good, knowing she was thinking about Carter. He knows she loves Carter. Hope (Annika Noelle) tells Carter that she loves him and she doesn't want him to ever doubt it. Daphne wants to know why Hope was allowed back at the company and can't understand why she was welcomed back after what she did. The company and Carter are better off without Hope. Hope can only imagine what Carter was thinking when he overheard what he heard. Carter says she can lean on him while she's going through this. Whatever she needs, he can take it. He hugs her. Katie gets a message about Brooke's magazine cover. Ridge looks at her on the cover, dressed in the showstopper, and he thinks back to the runway. He brushes it off. Katie knows he's committed to Taylor, but she wants him to be honest about missing Brooke. Taylor admits the show was a huge success for the whole company, and she says Brooke was a big part of that. Brooke says the moment she and Ridge shared on the runway caught everyone's attention. Taylor agrees, but she says it was just good for the company. It doesn't go beyond that. Katie says she can't imagine seeing Brooke in the Portofino gown didn't have an impact on him, but he says it's different because he's with Taylor. He wants to be a better man, so he wants his word to mean something. He's with Taylor and that's where he wants to be. Taylor admits that in the past, she would have been concerned or insecure, but Ridge is with her because he wants to be, and he's made his choice. Brooke asks if she thought their moment on the runway meant anything, and Taylor says it was a moment for the business. It won't change his love for her. Zende never imagined Daphne would get so attached, and she was surprised herself. She can't understand why Steffy would trust Hope, but she thinks Hope wants to be somewhere else. She's still convinced that Hope's future is with someone else and Daphne's future is with Carter. Hope suggests that they leave everything in the past and move forward. Carter agrees. Hope says they have a strong foundation, and they can build a future together. He vows to never let her down again. Later, Carter invites Daphne into his apartment, and she says she heard that Hope is back at Forrester. She knows he feels bad about Hope being punished and how he thought it wasn't fair, and she asks if the reason he's working from home is that there's tension between them. He admits he just saw Hope, leading Daphne to say he'll find love again. He says he has, and Daphne fully expects him to say it's her. Hope arrives at the design office and Brooke can see she's excited. But Hope can tell something is wrong with her mother. Brooke says Taylor told her she's confident in her relationship with Ridge. Ridge tells Katie that he hurt Taylor a lot in the past, and he'll always love Brooke, but he has to be true to her. Katie presses him and says he can fight all he wants, but he's just putting off the 'inevitable.' Katie moves to leave, and she runs into Taylor, who guesses (correctly) that Katie was trying to get Ridge to get back with Brooke. Daphne says that if someone told her that she'd be in LA feeling the way she feels about Carter, she'd think they were crazy. She's never felt that way about anyone. Falling for Carter was never part of the plan. Daphne says she needs to let herself go and take a leap of faith, and she has never felt vulnerable before. Carter says it can be scary because no one wants to get their heart broken, or be the one to break it. She reveals she's fallen in love with him, which is not what Carter was expecting to hear. He tells her it has been a very confusing time for him, but he's found love with Hope. He doesn't want to hurt her, but he's with Hope again. Brooke says she felt so much about her connection with Ridge on the runway. It felt so intimate despite being in the middle of an audience. She thought for sure it meant they would be together. Hope knows it has been difficult for her without Ridge. Brooke admits that Ridge has always been her heart, and she's always followed her heart. She has to believe that they will be together. Taylor isn't surprised that Katie would be there advocating for Brooke. The Logans are loyal, and Ridge agrees. Taylor says she saw Brooke to tell her how impressed she was with the runway, which created an unforgettable moment. It was an incredible day for the company, and she was a huge part of it. Ridge praises her for being a big enough person to admit that, but Taylor adds that she warned Brooke that it was just a moment. As she leans in for a kiss, she tells Ridge that this is their moment, and their chapter. But as he holds her, his expression reveals he's questioning everything. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS and the following day on Paramount Plus. Check your local listings to see when it comes on where you are.

The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 23, 2025: 'this is our time'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Ridge expresses his love for Taylor while Brooke celebrates Hope and Carter getting back together in The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 23, 2025. More The Bold and the Beautiful The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 22, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 21, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 20, 2025The Bold and the Beautiful recap for May 19, 2025 We wrap up the week at Forrester Creations, where Taylor (Rebecca Budig) tells Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) she's not questioning anything about their relationship. She knows he and Brooke have history with their customers and that's part of his industry. She truly believes in the two of them, 'despite Brooke.' He smiles at her. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) tells Hope (Annika Noelle) that she doesn't want to give up on Ridge. Hope knows that his relationship with Taylor came as a result of taking the CEO position. Brooke appreciates that Hope told Ridge that the takeover was wrong. Hope says she's recently come to understand that life is too short for grudges, so if Brooke wants to be with Ridge, she wants her to be with him. Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) can't believe that Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) has fallen in love again…with Hope. Taylor giggles as Ridge tells her that her smile is 'more radiant' when she's confident. He wants to be sure that seeing him with Brooke on the runway doesn't bother her. She's happy that the show was a hit, and Brooke deserves credit for her starring role. But Ridge comes home to Taylor every night, so she wins. Brooke is thrilled to hear that Hope is back with Carter again. She's so happy for her daughter. Daphne reminds Carter what Hope said to Liam, but he says he misinterpreted them. He's the man Hope wants. 'I'm her future.' Ridge says he enjoys this version of Taylor because this confident version of her is the woman he fell in love with. He likes her a lot, he teases, telling her that she's 'transformed' his life and made him see that love doesn't have to be complicated. They joke about drama, but he appreciates being able to hold each other after the drama and 'making love with wild abandon.' And growing old together. Brooke wasn't sure Hope would get back with Carter, but she's glad it happened. Hope admits she was still feeling hurt, but she understands that guilt isn't worth it. A friend reminded her that all of those moments shouldn't be wasted on anger. They're human and they all make mistakes, but what she has with Carter is special, and they want to make the most of it, no matter 'how much time' they have left. Hope is forced to backtrack when Brooke says she's sounding 'morbid.' Daphne can't process that Carter misunderstood what Hope said. She warns Carter that Hope is trying to make excuses, but he says it was a complete misunderstanding. She hates thinking he's putting his trust in her, and she could hurt him. He says nothing — and no one — is ever going to come between them. Taylor asks Ridge if he ever thinks about everything they've been through. She points out that they have so much history, and they were different people in the early days. He agrees that they're older and wiser, and she jokes about aging. She appreciates where they are after working so hard. 'This is it, Ridge, finally,' she says. 'This is our time. The best chapter of our lives.' She kisses him. Brooke is glad one of them is figuring things out, noting that life is difficult and people make mistakes. Hope says it's a relief after the craziness she's been through the past few weeks. Brooke says Hope has a bright future ahead of her. Hope sighs, thinking about telling Carter about Liam's condition. Carter tells Daphne that he knows this isn't what she wanted to hear. Daphne can't believe Carter is saying this, because why else would Hope say those words if she didn't mean them? Surely Hope wants to be with Liam, and she's going to be with Liam. Carter says that won't be the case. His tone is sober, because he knows the truth. He says that Daphne has been wonderful and he appreciates that she was there for him, but they're not going to end up together. She knows how much Carter cares for Hope. 'Au revoir, Carter Walton,' she says as she walks out the door. There's a knock on Carter's door. It's Hope, and she greets him with a hug. He asks how Brooke felt about the news that they're together, and he's glad Brooke kept encouraging him. They pledge to be 'all in' with each other, and she believes in him. She knows he won't let her down again. Ridge is in his office, alone, and he thinks back to his time with Taylor and how she mentioned their shared history. Taylor is thinking the same thing. 'A lifetime of memories, and many more to come.' Ridge looks at the photo of Brooke on the runway. He thinks about Brooke telling him that she wants to move forward with their lives, as she asks if he wants a future together. She wants him to come home, and she wants to be his Logan again. He thinks back to their wedding. He thinks of their time in Rome, where he asked her to be 'his Logan forever.' Brooke, in the design office, thinks about her memories with Ridge and says that after all they've been through, she believes in him and in their destiny. Ridge closes his laptop, a thoughtful look on his face. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS and the following day on Paramount Plus.

Ron Howard Reveals How He Really Felt About His 'Happy Days' Co-Star Henry Winkler
Ron Howard is revealing if it was a happy day when he met his co-star Henry Winkler. In the 1970s, Howard and Winkler starred in the ABC sitcom 'Happy Days' as Ritchie Cunningham and Fonzie — 'The Fonz' to fans. Now, more than half a century since the show first aired, Howard is reflecting on their first meeting. In an interview posted on Thursday, Howard told People that the two actors 'clicked.' Although it began strictly on a 'professional level' at first, Howard said he 'looked up to' his co-star. 'Henry's a few years older than I am. Yale-educated, and he looked at acting in a way that was — it wasn't Hollywood,' he said. 'It was a little more intellectual. It was theater-based, and that was new to me. But more than anything, we just got along beautifully and worked well together.' Howard also stated that Winkler stood out from others in the industry at the time. The camaraderie between the two may not have initially started jukebox magic, but it grew to a lasting creative partnership and friendship. In a May 22 interview with the outlet, Howard also credited Winkler with helping launch his directing career. While working on their sitcom, Howard was honing his craft — and after he left the series, opportunity knocked in the form of the 1982 film 'Night Shift.' 'Henry was always so supportive of that. When Henry said yes to Night Shift, that's what got that movie greenlit,' Howard reminisced. 'He played a hand in helping my dream ultimately come true, which was to be a studio, Hollywood, feature director.'
