Days of Our Lives fans are very familiar with Lauren Koslow’s face. She’s been playing the role of Kate for so long now, that no one remembers who she was before. She’s had the character as her own since 1996, which is more than 23 years at this point. But there is a lot we don’t know about the woman who plays Kate. She’s not her character — though she does fool us each and every day on television. Here’s a few things you didn’t know about Lauren Koslow the actress.
1. This is Not Her Only Soap
She’s been on Days for so long that it’s easy to forget she’s been around the soap block. Before she was Kate, she played roles on both The Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless. She spent two years on YTR back in 1984-1986. She played Lindsey Wells. She spent five years on BB in the late 80s and early 90s and then another year a decade later as Margo.
2. She Took Over Her Role
She is not the first Kate to appear, but she is the best. She took over the role that was already established, and she took it to a whole new level. We love her as Kate, and it’s hard to imagine anyone else playing this role as well.
3. She’s Married
Not only is Koslow married, she’s been married forever in Hollywood years. She and her husband, Nick Schillace, were married in 1987. That’s more than 30 years of marriage, and they maintain a very private relationship. They seem happy, but they really do keep to themselves.
4. She’s Very Private
She might have decades in the business, but you will not find her talking much about her personal life. She does a wonderful job at her job, but she also likes to keep her real life as private as possible. She says very little, she doesn’t make it obvious, and she’s just a very down-to-earth type.
5. She Lost her Father in 2018
She might be a very private woman, but she did announce the death of her father in 2018. She was horrified, saddened, and crushed to learn he passed in the early days of 2018, and she had nothing but wonderful things to say about him as she asked for her privacy and a chance to grieve for her beloved father.

6. She’s a Mom
Lauren Koslow has two kids with her husband. She has a daughter and a son. Their names are Zachariah and Milli Kate. How sweet that her daughter’s name is the same as the character that made her more famous than anything else.
7. She’s From Boston
She might not sound like she’s from Boston, but she was born there in 1953. She lived in the New England area much of her life, though she was primarily raised in Rhode Island. She is one of three children her parents share.
8. Her Husband is a Makeup Artist
She might keep their life private, but we know he does makeup. We wonder if there is a chance they met when he was doing hers? We aren’t entirely certain, but we know they love their life together no matter who’s makeup he is doing.
9. She’s Rumor Free
Many actresses face a lot of rumors, untrue stories, and drama, but she’s kept her name out of the press. She’s not been associated with any specific issues such as affairs or other marital issues, and she’s basically drama-free. That’s refreshing for us to realize in this hectic world of show business.
10. She Loves Posting Meaningful Quotes
If you take a few moments to peruse her Twitter profile, you will see that Lauren Koslow loves to share meaningful tweets with her friends, her fans, and her family. She tends to choose ones that mean a lot to her and probably to her fans as a result. You’ll also see rare glimpses of her personal life when she posts photos of her family. She seems to really have a specific love for her kids, her spouse, and her father. And she makes it obvious.
