If you watch The Bold and the Beautiful, you know Jacqueline MacInnes Wood as Steffy Forrester—the fierce fashion executive who's equal parts glamorous and complicated. (We love to love her, we love to hate her and sometimes we hate to love her!) Since taking over the role in 2008, Wood has transformed Steffy from a temporary character into one of daytime's most compelling leading ladies. And the awards show it: she's won three Daytime Emmys for her performance.
But Wood isn't just a soap star; she's a Canadian actress born in Windsor, Ontario, who moved to Toronto at 18 with big dreams. She's dabbled in music as a DJ and singer, hosted a travel show on E!, starred in horror movies and built a family with five sons. Oh, and she's managed to juggle all of this while being a fixture on one of television's longest-running shows.
At 38, Wood has built an impressive career that spans acting, music, hosting and modeling. She's proven you can be a soap opera star and still have time for other creative pursuits—even if that means working through multiple pregnancies and taking maternity leaves that feel more like brief intermissions.
So how much has the woman behind Steffy Forrester earned? Let's break down Jacqueline MacInnes Wood's net worth and the career moves that got her there.

What is Jacqueline MacInnes Wood's net worth in 2026?
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood's net worth in 2026 is estimated at $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. That wealth comes primarily from her work on The Bold and the Beautiful, where she's been playing Steffy Forrester since 2008 (with a brief break from 2013-2015).
According to Backstage.com, leading actors on successful daytime dramas typically earn between $2,000 and $5,000 per episode. Given Wood's status as a three-time Emmy winner and her tenure on the show, she likely commands a salary at the top end of that tier.
By our rough estimate, Woods appears in anywhere from 150 to 200 episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful per year. This would place her annual salary range between $750,000 and $1 million—and that’s before adding in her outside ventures.

Wood was born on April 17, 1987, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. She's of mixed heritage—Cree, Scottish, French and Brazilian ancestry—and grew up dreaming of a career in entertainment. At 18, she moved to Toronto to study at Ryerson University and the Armstrong Acting Studio.
Her big break came with a commercial for First Choice Haircutters where she played the "hair girl"—a role that helped get her noticed. After working on Canadian shows like Runaway, M.V.P. and Lovebites, she landed the role that would change everything: Steffy Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful.
When Wood joined B&B in May 2008, Steffy was being aged up from a child to an adult character. Wood immediately brought intensity and complexity to the role, playing Steffy as what she describes as a "nasty" vixen who's strong-willed but vulnerable. "I love playing her and developing her character," Wood said in 2011. "She is so different from me. It's rather cathartic, and it allows my alter ego to come out on The Bold and The Beautiful set five days a week."

What awards has Jacqueline MacInnes Wood won?
Wood has won three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for playing Steffy: in 2019, 2021 and 2023. She's been nominated six times total, making her one of the most recognized actresses in daytime television.
Her first Emmy nomination came in 2012 for Outstanding Younger Actress. She learned about the nomination while shooting a scene in the Adriatic Sea in Italy—the water was only 54 degrees, and Executive Producer Brad Bell asked her how it felt to be Emmy-nominated. She was nominated again in that category in 2013.
In 2018, Wood received a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress before ascending to the Lead Actress category the following year—making her one of only five actresses to be nominated in all three drama performer categories.

The horror film was shot in her home country of Canada and gave her a chance to work in features. She also appeared in TV movies like Her Husband's Betrayal, Nightmare at the End of the Hall and Skyrunners.
On the small screen, she's guest starred on Anger Management, Castle and Hulu's web series South Beach. In 2013, she hosted E!'s Party On, a travel series that explored party scenes around the world. It showcased both Wood's passion for travel and her on-camera skills.
Wood has also pursued music. As a DJ, she's released two singles: "After Hours" and "Girl You Knew." She recorded a music video for "After Hours" under the name Jacqui Mac, collaborating with her fashion stylist Chaz E. Foley who wrote the song.
Is Jacqueline MacInnes Wood married? Does she have children?
Wood is married to Elan Ruspoli, a talent agent at Creative Artists Agency who works with clients like Eddie Redmayne, Toni Collette and Luke Wilson. The couple announced their engagement in November 2017 and eloped in Italy in July 2018.
Together they have five sons: Rise Harlen (born March 2019), Lenix (born February 2021), Brando Elion (born May 2022), Valor James (born August 2023), and their fifth son born in July 2025. Wood announced her fifth pregnancy in March 2025 but has kept details about the baby private.
The couple wanted a big family from the start. "I'm sort of an only child, because there's a 20-year age difference between myself and my sister," Wood explained. "And my husband is an only child, so we love that our children have siblings."
Working while pregnant has required creativity. The B&B crew used strategic camera angles and shots to hide her growing belly when her pregnancies weren't written into the storyline. Wood has taken maternity leaves, but always returns to work—most recently coming back in September 2025 after welcoming her fifth child.

When did Jacqueline MacInnes Wood take a break from 'The Bold and Beautiful'?
In May 2013, Wood opted not to renew her contract with B&B, taking a break from 2013 to 2015. During that time, she remained on the show on a recurring basis rather than as a contract player. This break allowed her to pursue other projects including hosting Party On and working in films.
In April 2015, Wood returned to B&B on a contract basis, where she's remained ever since. Her return solidified Steffy's place as one of the show's core characters, and Wood has been central to major storylines involving the Forrester and Spencer families.
Wood just returned to The Bold and the Beautiful in September 2025 after taking maternity leave for her fifth child. B&B supervising producer Casey Kasprzyk shared the news on social media, posting a family photo of Wood with her TV husband Tanner Novlan (Finn) and their on-screen kids.

The return also marked a milestone behind the scenes—B&B moved to a new studio at Sunset Las Palmas after decades at Television City. Having Steffy back at the center of the action when the show entered its 39th season felt like the perfect way to launch a new chapter.
Off-screen, Wood is a devoted mom of five who's known for her fun and fiery social media presence. She also uses her platform to support animal rescue organizations like Doggie Bonez Rescue.
From a Canadian teen with big dreams to a three-time Emmy winner with an $8 million net worth, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood has proven that soap operas can launch incredible careers. Her willingness to take risks—whether pursuing music, hosting travel shows or balancing five kids with a full-time acting job—shows the work ethic that's made her one of daytime's biggest stars. And with Steffy showing no signs of leaving Forrester Creations anytime soon, Wood's empire is only getting stronger.
