Kelly Kruger On New Boyfriend: ‘He’s My Person’
In March 2026, Kruger and Brooks revealed that they had mutually decided to end their marriage, telling TV Insider that they had filed for divorce but were “committed to coparenting our two children [Everleigh, 7, and Gemma, 4] and remaining friends.” The divorce was finalized in July.
Now, she’s opening up about her new relationship. In an Instagram Story posted on November 10, she shared that she and her partner “found each other at a time we both needed it, and it just proves everything happens exactly the way it’s supposed to.”
She also promised that she would reveal the identity of her new boyfriend soon. “I know it’s annoying,” she wrote of keeping his identity under wraps, “but he’s the only person I dated after being alone for over 7 months. I’m a mom first and put my kids first always. I wanted to settle into life together before being public for the sake of my girls.”
Kruger continued, “I can safely say he’s my person and the most amazing future step dad to them. (They already call him their step dad.) They have known him for a long time because we were really great friends first.”
“Stay tuned for more!” she added. “I can’t wait to share our love story because I really truly believe it will inspire so many to keep going as painful as it can be.”
Kruger, who in addition to her role on GH is a beauty influencer with a large following on Instagram and TikTok, divulged a few details about her new relationship in a TikTok posted on October 13, where she confessed, “I’ve been separated-slash-divorced longer than the public has known, and on my own for quite some time. I know it may seem, like, very quick, but it’s not, just so you guys know!”
She also shared, “This is definitely someone who has been in my life for quite some time as an amazing friend and support system to me, and what has developed was completely unexpected.”
In that video, Kruger declared about thriving after divorce, “The only thing I can say is that my lesson here is just trust, because what I thought was the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to me, the hardest, most devastating, turned out to actually be the best thing.”
Kruger allowed, “I didn’t see it at the time, but I feel stronger, I feel better, I feel more whole. I feel like I can be an even better person, parent, friend, daughter, all the things, because I’ve really gotten the chance to figure out what I’m made of.”
