UNVEILING: Who is Stana Katic’s Mysterious Husband? Meet Kris Brkljač, the Man Behind the Star

Stana Katic may have had a television wedding on Castle, but she is very quiet about her personal marriage in real life.

The Canadian-American actress has been with her husband, Kris Brkljač, for years but rarely speaks publicly about their relationship. He’s only done a few red carpet appearances with her, but they’re always happy, and she posts about Brkljač on Instagram.

The Absentia star married Brkljač in Croatia on April 25, 2015, one day before her 37th birthday. Six years later, they had their first child together.

Though she was discussing her on-screen Castle relationship with Entertainment Weekly when she mentioned the excitement of romantic pursuits, Katic did reveal some personal thoughts on love.

“I might be naively romantic, but I believe that a relationship can be just as spicy when people get together as it was in the chase,” she told the press in 2011.

In the early days of her 17-year tenure on Castle, Katic also mentioned keeping her private life and settling down. “I love to kiss, but I don’t tell,” she told Chatelaine in 2011, adding, “I like the concept that if you’re with someone, it’s for the long term.”

On Instagram, she has praised her spouse as her “hero” and “so amazing,” and has referred to their relationship as “#ElectricLove” on several occasions.

Brkljač’s early years are largely unknown due to his secluded lifestyle. He was born in Australia and spent some time in New York City.

Brkljač has Serbian heritage with his wife Stana Katic and Kris Brkljac.

On her now-defunct website, she described her origins as “My parents are Serbs from Croatia.” I name ourselves Dalmatians since we are originated from that region of the earth. I have Serb, Croat, and a few Montenegrin family relatives.

It was only right that she and Brkljač, who is also of Serbian ancestry, got married in Croatia.

He has one child with Katic.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the Pappys out there, but an especially Happy Pappy’s Day to my love,” Katic posted on Instagram in June 2022. “The best decision I’ve ever made was to join forces with you. We adore you and are overjoyed that we can live this life together.”

After Katic shared the Father’s Day tribute, her representative verified that the couple had recently had a child together. “They had a baby this winter and have been enjoying the time since cocooning as a family,” the representative told Us Weekly at the time.

Before receiving their first child, the couple got an inside glimpse at rearing children at home owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“During the epidemic, my house served as ground zero for many nieces and nephews. In 2021, Katic informed Starburst that, in addition to studying permaculture, she was caring for young children.
He’s been on television.
Although Katic is the family’s actor, Brkljač has also appeared in television shows. The businessman appeared in a 2013 episode of Castle titled “Death Gone Crazy.”

He is a world traveller.

Katic has traveled to Mongolia, Peru, Argentina, and India, and she created the environmental project Alternative Travel Project, which focuses on car-free travel, in 2010.

“I try to explore someplace new each time,” the Sister Cities actress told Good Housekeeping in 2014. “It feeds the soul, and you bring that back to your everyday life.”

Brkljač resided on a farm with Stana Katic and Kris Brkljac.

In 2020, Katic informed the Golden Globe Awards that she and Brkljač spent the pandemic lockdown living on a distant, “off the grid” ranch in California, with their extended family helping to grow and rear poultry.

Brkljač’s wife frequently shares Instagram photos of their farm with the hashtag “#GrowYourOwnGrub.” It’s unclear whether the pair remains on the property year-round following the outbreak, but Katic appears to love her time there.
