Brooke Opens Up About Finding Love
From the very beginning, Brooke didn’t shy away from sharing her joy with the world. She frequently posted adorable photos of the couple on Instagram, and she never missed an opportunity to gush about Scott in interviews. At the Fight Night event, Brooke couldn’t help but express her gratitude for finding love again. “It’s a big deal, but it’s so full of love and kindness,” she told reporters. “I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have Scott in my life. He’s such a sweetheart—a truly amazing guy. Honestly, I even used the ‘B’ word recently. I asked him, ‘Do you want to be my boyfriend?’ And I had to update my phone contacts to reflect our new status!”
As the couple grew closer, they faced the unique challenge of navigating a relationship during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the chaos, Brooke and Scott found ways to create meaningful moments together, even with teenagers underfoot. In October 2020, Brooke opened up to Closer about their creative date nights at home. “We’ve been intentional about carving out special moments,” she explained. “Whether it’s lighting candles or setting the table with fresh flowers, we’ve made every meal feel like a celebration. Love is all about finding joy in the little things.”
A Bright Future Together
With their unshakable bond, fans naturally began to wonder if marriage was on the horizon. Speaking with Closer, Brooke shared her thoughts on the future. “I don’t know exactly what lies ahead, but I do know that Scott and I are committed to each other. We’re incredibly happy with the way our lives are unfolding, and I definitely see us building a future together,” she revealed. “Love is about finding the right person who makes you want to plan for tomorrow.”
Before finding love with Scott, Brooke was previously married to Garth Fisher from 2001 to 2005, and they share two children, Neriah and Sky. She later tied the knot with actor David Charvet in 2011, and the pair welcomed daughters Heaven and Shaya before parting ways in 2018. Now, it seems Brooke has found her happily ever after with Scott, and the world can’t wait to see what’s next for this beautiful couple!
