‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers find that star Tanner Novlan has teased that life for his character, Finn is about to get a little more complicated in a happy way- the birth of his son with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and the arrival of his parents Jack and Li Finnegan (Ted King and Naomi Matsuda).
However, real life for the Canadian actor is, thankfully, far simpler.
Recently Tanner and his wife, B&B alum, Kayla Ewell (Caitlyn Ramirez) spoke with Soap Opera Digest about how the two met, how they knew they were each other’s ‘ones’ and how Tanner proposed…twice.
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Tanner Novlan (Dr. John ‘Finn’ Finnegan) Got to Propose to His Wife Twice!
It was a music video for an Australian band that brought the pair together. After acting together on the shoot, Tanner offered to pick up the sunglasses Kayla had left behind…ensuring he got to see the brunette beauty again.
The fact that he ‘forgot’ to give the sunglasses back on their second meeting led to a third and, after California girl, Kayla suffered through a Saskatchewan, Canadian winter (while winning over Tanner’s family) the pair knew they were meant to be.
Tanner and Kayla recalled the romantic wedding proposal on a boat. As the captain set them up for the perfect sunset vista, Tanner got down on bended knee and…
“I looked into her eyes and she was so happy,” Tanner recalled, “and I said, “Life is like an ocean,” and she said, “What?” and all of a sudden I was like, “It’s crap. It’s crap!’
Tanner was referring to his whole planned speech about ocean waves and love and weathering storms together that he quickly realized was super cheesy. Tanner decided to scrap the whole speech and, though Kayla said yes, he was a little disappointed with how it all turned out.
Lucky for the soap hunk, he got a second chance, with professional writers giving him all the romantic lines in the world. The proposal was for Steffy, but as it was filmed during the time of Covid, it was Kayla who stood in for Jacqueline and Kayla who got to say yes to her husband’s swoon-worthy speech, all over again.
Thank goodness she said yes- the pair have a daughter, Poppy who was born in 2019!
