you were just missing an additional Row, as here:

Grid[{{Style["aa", Red, Bold],
    Style["bb",
     Green]}, {Row[{Style["c", Blue, Bold], Style["c", Red]}], "dd"}}]

alternatively you could use another Grid, which needs a little more 
typing but gives you somewhat more control about the exact appearance 
and solves possible issues with line breaks (you might find notes from 
John Fultz about the difference between Row and Grid in earlier posts to 
this group):

Grid[{{Style["aa", Red, Bold],
    Style["bb",
     Green]}, {Grid[{{Style["c", Blue, Bold], Style["c", Red]}},
     Spacings -> 0], "dd"}}]
