She married Kris Brkljac in 2015. They had a baby in June 2022. She is a dual Canadian-American citizen.
Tropes relating to Stana Katic's works:
- Fake American: She's Canadian who often portrays Americans, although she now holds dual citizenship.
- Fan Community Nickname: Her fans call themselves "Stanatics".
- Ms. Fanservice: Averted in her role as Beckett, where she is usually very conservatively dressed, and even her part as a Bond Girl. However, prior to Castle and Quantum of Solace, she starred in a Direct to Video movie called Stiletto that was completely made of this trope. The DVD cover was simply a picture of Stana in her Black Bra and Panties holding two guns and the tagline "Revenge never looked so good."
- Omniglot: She is fluent in English, Italian, Serbian and Croatian note , as well as being able to "babble in" Greek. Oddly enough, unlike her character in Castle, she can't speak Russian.
- The Cast Showoff: She has an impressive singing voice, demonstrated in her appearance in the third The Librarian. She also does a fine rendition of Billy Joel's "Piano Man" at the close of a Castle episode.
- Scully Box: At 5'9", she's not exactly short, but since many of her Castle costars are still taller than her, Beckett frequently wears high-heeled boots that most actual cops would find cumbersome. In-universe, it's given a justification of giving her a stronger presence to intimidate suspects and get respect from co-workers.
- Star-Making Role: Castle made her a star of the small screen.
