Biography
About Claire Holt
Claire Holt, an Australian actress, has built a career spanning over two decades, from teen television to Hollywood thrillers and supernatural dramas. She first gained widespread recognition as Emma Gilbert in the Network Ten series H2O: Just Add Water (2006-2008), which earned a Logie Award and a Nickelodeon Australia Kids' Choice Award. Holt left the show after its second season to star in Messengers 2: The Scarecrow (2009), a straight-to-DVD sequel filmed in Sofia. In 2011, she joined The Vampire Diaries as Rebekah Mikaelson, a role she would reprise in the spin-off The Originals (2013-2018) and later in Legacies (2021-2022). Her film credits include the survival horror 47 Meters Down (2017) and the romantic comedy The Divorce Party (2019). In 2014, she was linked to CBS' Supergirl, but chose not to pursue it.
Holt's personal life has been as eventful as her on-screen roles. She married television producer Matt Kaplan in 2016, but the marriage ended the following year. In 2017, she announced her engagement to real estate executive Andrew Joblon, and they married in 2018. The couple has three children: two sons and a daughter. Holt also became an American citizen in November 2019. Beyond acting, she has run multiple marathons, raising significant funds for Boston Children's Hospital. In 2022, she raised $162,000 for the hospital, and after her 2024 Chicago marathon, her total contributions reached over $350,000. In January 2023, she launched a website offering fans weekly content on fashion, makeup, and maternity topics.
Standing 5'6" with blonde hair and blue eyes, Holt has become a prominent figure on social media, amassing over 7 million followers on Instagram. She is also a brand collaborator, having designed swimwear with Andie Swim and a bag collection with VEE Collective. In her spare time, Holt continues to explore new creative projects, including voice work on the podcast Evergreen. Her journey from an Australian teen drama to international fame reflects her versatility and determination.
