Kelly Kruger, Born on November 12, 1982, in Montreal, is a Canadian actress and producer best known to daytime audiences as Mackenzie Browning on “The Young and the Restless” and later as the savvy publicist Eva on “The Bold and the Beautiful”. After being discovered by Elite Models at 17 while visiting L.A., she moved from teen magazine and Macy’s campaigns into acting, landing early work in the true-crime feature “Vampire Clan”, plus appearances on “Entourage” and “Blue Mountain State”.

Beyond TV, Kruger is also an entrepreneur: inspired by her own skincare and wellness journey, she founded Madison Charles Oils, a fragrance-free, all-natural essential oil brand. She’s married to fellow soap star Darin Brooks (they wed March 21, 2016) and they have two daughters, Everleigh Jolie and Gemma. A fun bonus: she’s fluent in French.
