This holiday season is set to be a somber one for The Bold and the Beautiful star Rebecca Budig and her family as they mourn a heartbreaking loss. Earlier this month, Budig faced the devastating death of her beloved father, George Budig, who passed away on December 16.
A Profound Loss
In a deeply emotional Instagram post, Budig shared the news of her father’s passing, offering a heartfelt tribute. Alongside a touching photo of her father, she wrote: “I love you, Dad. 10/1/36–12/16/24.” The grief of losing a parent is immeasurable at any time of year, but for Budig, the pain is magnified by the timing of the loss during the holiday season—a time typically filled with joy, celebration, and togetherness.
