Ridge ditches Taylor at the altar, chasing Brooke, who jets off with Nick

he most glamorous wedding in Bold & Beautiful history has just turned into the most humiliating heartbreak ever witnessed. What was meant to be a fairytale union between Ridge Forrester and Dr. Taylor Hayes collapsed in front of stunned family and guests, as Ridge made a devastating decision that will echo through generations of the Forrester family. In a scene that no one could have predicted, Ridge stopped mid-ceremony, his eyes locked on someone unexpected standing silently in the crowd—Brooke Logan. The air grew still, the music faded, and just moments before saying “I do,” Ridge turned to Taylor with a broken expression and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

Gasps filled the room. Taylor’s face fell from joy to utter devastation as Ridge took a few steps back and then, without another word, walked out of the wedding venue, leaving her abandoned at the altar. Guests were frozen in shock. Steffy and Thomas stood speechless, unable to process the betrayal their mother had just endured. Eric looked pale, clutching Donna’s hand, while Hope and Liam exchanged horrified glances. Even Carter, who was officiating the ceremony, couldn’t believe what he was witnessing.

But the shock didn’t end there.

As Ridge rushed out, a distant roar of jet engines filled the air. News soon broke that Brooke Logan, the woman Ridge has never truly let go of, was seen boarding a private jet with Nick Marone—her former flame and Ridge’s longtime rival. Photographs emerged of Brooke and Nick at the Forrester private airstrip, luggage in tow, sharing a quiet but intimate moment before stepping aboard. Witnesses claim Brooke looked emotional, as if she’d just made a heartbreaking choice herself. And yet, she left—with Nick—flying to Italy for what sources are calling a “clean break from L.A. drama.”

For Taylor, the humiliation was unbearable. Still in her wedding gown, she locked herself in a room at the Forrester estate for hours, refusing to see anyone. Ridge attempted to contact her, but Steffy intercepted the calls, warning her father to stay away. “You’ve destroyed her,” she said. “Again.” It was a repeat of old wounds. For Taylor, Ridge had always been the love that came with conditions—one that belonged to Brooke as much as it ever did to her. This time, she thought it would be different. This time, she believed she had finally won. But in the end, Brooke didn’t have to do anything. Ridge chose her anyway.

The fallout spread fast.

The fashion press, who had gathered to cover the lavish “wedding of the year,” quickly changed their headlines to “Forrester Family in Chaos.” The media frenzy painted Ridge as unstable and indecisive, while Brooke’s decision to fly off with Nick added a layer of betrayal that not even her supporters could ignore. Katie and Donna were left scrambling to defend their sister’s choices, while Hope—caught between both worlds—was simply heartbroken for everyone involved.

As for Nick Marone, his reappearance couldn’t have come at a more dramatic time. Though he hadn’t been seen on the scene in years, his chemistry with Brooke was undeniable the moment they locked eyes again. Insiders claim they had been quietly reconnecting for weeks behind the scenes, though nothing physical had happened. That is, until the wedding day. With Ridge emotionally torn and Brooke feeling unwanted, Nick offered her an escape—and she took it.

Meanwhile, Ridge sat alone in the Forrester mansion, surrounded by silence and regret. He didn’t follow Brooke. He didn’t return to Taylor. He just sat, replaying every mistake, every moment he hesitated. “I loved them both,” he admitted to Eric, who visited him later that night. “But I never deserved either of them.”

Taylor eventually emerged from hiding, her wedding dress discarded, replaced by a stark black outfit that reflected her inner grief. She didn’t speak to Ridge. She didn’t cry. She simply walked out of the house and into the night, determined not to let this pain define her again. Steffy vowed to take legal action to protect her mother from future emotional sabotage—hinting that Ridge’s presence in their lives may no longer be welcome.

Back in Italy, Brooke and Nick were spotted arriving in Tuscany, where they’ve rented a private villa far from the prying eyes of the L.A. media. Brooke released a brief statement saying, “I didn’t plan any of this. I just needed space to breathe.” Whether she and Nick will rekindle their past romance or whether this is just a temporary escape is unclear. But one thing is certain—Brooke Logan is once again at the center of a romantic whirlwind that has shaken the very foundation of the Forrester legacy.

As the dust settles, the future of all involved remains uncertain. Can Taylor ever trust again? Will Ridge attempt to make amends, or has he finally burned every bridge? And Brooke—will she return, or has she chosen a life completely removed from the endless triangle that has haunted her for decades?

One moment changed everything. One decision shattered hearts, reputations, and families. And for the Forrester clan, the consequences of Ridge’s choice will ripple through every relationship, every business deal, and every whispered rumor across Los Angeles.

This was meant to be a union of destiny. Instead, it became a public unraveling of love, loyalty, and legacy.

And it’s far from over.
