Scott Clifton’s Girlfriend: All About the ‘B&B’ Star’s New Love & Past Marriage

The soap world is waiting with bated breath to see what will happen to Scott Clifton‘s Liam Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful. The beloved character has an inoperable brain tumor, and his prognosis is not looking good. Will B&B pull the ultimate twist and kill off Liam? Only time will tell.
Clifton has played Liam Spencer since 2010 and has won three Daytime Emmys for his performance as the son of Bill Spencer Jr. (Don Diamont). Liam’s been at the center of a highly-debated love triangle between Hope (Annika Noelle) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) for years, but what about Clifton’s real-life romances? Swooon has the scoop on Scott Clifton’s girlfriend and past relationship history.
Who is Scott Clifton’s girlfriend?
Scott Clifton is dating event planner Elle Anderson. It’s unclear how they met. The couple went public with their romance in January 2024 when Clifton shared a photo of Anderson on his Instagram page. “Work of Art. (The makeup is pretty good too.),” he captioned the photo.
Clifton and Anderson made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2024 Daytime Emmys. “I need to be better about taking pictures at these things, but here’s Elle and me (with a special guest appearance by your favorite tv billionaire) at that fancy shindig last night,” he wrote on Instagram.
In November 2024, Clifton penned a heartfelt message in honor of Anderson’s birthday.

“Perhaps in French, or Japanese, or Aramaic, there is some combination of words that comes close to capturing what you mean to me—the lifeline you are, the purpose you give me, the steadfastness of your mind and heart—but my meager English vocabulary will always fall tragically short,” he began. “Happy birthday, to the woman who makes selflessness and grace into an art form; who shattered the glass ceiling of what I imagined love could be; the antidote to cynicism; the heartbeat of the Phoenix; the quiet compass; the brush stroke of wisdom. I love you, Elle. And I celebrate you with every aching breath.”
That same month, Anderson celebrated Clifton’s 40th birthday with a loving message. “From the moment you walked into my life, everything changed,” she wrote. “It feels as if the universe was always leading us to each other, guiding us through every twist and turn until we finally met. With you, I don’t have to pretend. I can be my true self, flaws and all, and know that I am deeply loved. You see the parts of me that no one else does and love me in ways I never thought possible. Every day with you is a gift, and I can’t wait for all the moments we still have to share.”

She remains my best friend in the world, my partner in crime, and my closest confidant and the decision has only deepened the love and respect we have for one another. Our choice was born of a commitment to one another’s happiness and, above all, giving our son Ford the best life we can. We are grateful for everyone’s support and ask that you please respect our privacy as we navigate whatever the future may hold.”
