While speaking with his father Ridge Forrester, Thomas admitted that he and Paris have broken off their engagement. He said Paris hurt him deeply, and the baggage from her family was too much to ignore.

Thomas referenced Grace Buckingham’s shocking scheme — faking Liam Spencer’s cancer diagnosis — and Reese Buckingham’s past crimes involving Beth’s kidnapping. Those choices, Thomas explained, made it impossible for him to move forward with Paris.

“I had to call it off,” he told Ridge, adding that life feels aimless without Paris, Douglas, or a design line to focus on.

Fans React to the Split

On social media, fans had strong opinions about the breakup. Some felt Thomas never truly loved Paris, while others were frustrated the relationship was ended so quickly.

One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter):

“To break up with someone for their parents’ choices means he never really cared. If she was in on it, then fine. But if not? Cold.”

Another added:

“All that hype of bringing Thomas back and they drop Paris just like that? ENUFF already.”

What This Means for Thomas

With Paris out of the picture, Thomas is officially single again. That immediately sparked speculation among viewers about a possible reunion with Hope Logan.

Earlier in the week, the soap teased Thomas’s return with a fiery scene. He confronted Brooke and Katie, warning them not to interfere with Ridge and Taylor. But the bigger question now is about Thomas’s own love life.

Will his heartbreak lead him back to Hope? Or will he spiral without Paris, Douglas, or his career to anchor him?

What’s Next on B&B

Thomas’s return has already shaken up Forrester Creations and the Logan-Forrester drama. But with him back in the mix, Brooke and Taylor’s rivalry for Ridge may not be the only triangle heating up.

Fans will have to stay tuned as the fallout from Thomas and Paris’s breakup plays out — and as the show hints at even more romantic entanglements ahead.
