There is a slight discrepancy in Steffy Forrester's age on The Bold and the Beautiful. Going by her birth year, Steffy is currently 25 years old. However, in the storyline, she was shown graduating in 2008. Taking the minimum graduating age in the US and the UK into consideration, Steffy would be more than 31 years old in 2024, and when you look at her story arc, it adds up. However, the production house has never given any explanation of a time leap or retconned the birth year.
As fans of The Bold and the Beautiful may already know, Steffy plays a central role in the soap as the CEO of Forrester Creations. Her legendary friction with Hope Logan has been one of the show's main draws.
Currently, she is poised on the brink of another declining relationship as her husband Finn may try to cover up his closeness with her rival, Hope.
The Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy Forrester is likely 32 years old in 2024
Steffy Forrester was born on September 21, 1999, as per the soap's storyline. Both she and her twin, Phoebe, played by two child artists, were shown while their onscreen mother, Taylor, was in critical postpartum. In February 2001, a two-year-old Steffy was kidnapped. Taking her birth year and the early events in her timeline into consideration, Steffy would be aged 25 years in 2024.
However, in Steffy's timeline, events played out differently after her mother, Taylor, returned from the dead in 2005. In 2006, Steffy was shown leaving for a boarding school along with her twin. She graduated in 2008 and returned to LA to work for her family business. As per her birth year, she was nine years old in 2008. However, she may have been rapidly aged in the story arc.
On average, in the US, students graduate between the ages of 15 and 18 depending on early entry, enrolment programs, credit schedules, and other factors. In the UK, where Steffy did her schooling, the age is 16 years.
As such, at graduation, Steffy would be around 15-16 years old. Calculating her age based on her graduation, Steffy is 31-32 years old in 2024 on The Bold and the Beautiful.
This age also justifies the events in her story arc after 2008. Besides working in the family's fashion house, she was found seducing Bill Spencer Jr. to get the company back from his clutches.
In 2012, she married Liam and later divorced him. As per her birth year of 1999, she would have been 13 and not of marriageable age. However, going by her graduation age, she was 19 years old when she married Liam in 2012.
