Real-Life Days of our Lives Couple…Tate And Sloan?

Can you imagine Days of Our Lives’ Tate Black in a relationship with Sloan Petersen? We can’t either, and that’s actually not the case. Leo Howard, who took over playing Tate for Jamie Martin Mann in 2024, is actually engaged to Sloan’s temporary substitute, Natasha Hall. 

The Two Are Enjoying Life Together

While it would seem odd that Tate’s portrayer, Leo Howard, would be dating the woman who played Sloan, it’s not Jessica Serfaty, as many would think. In March 2024, Natasha Hall substituted for her briefly, and she and Howard seem to have a fun real-life relationship.

Howard posted several pics on Instagram on August 5 of the two enjoying life together, including a video of Hall briskly riding a horse. He captioned them, “Happy birthday to my soon to be wife. I’m beyond grateful for your presence in my life. You are a gift and a light to all that are lucky enough to know you. You are the funniest, sexiest, smartest, best cat mom I know. Cheers to a lifetime more. I love you.”

Several followers congratulated the couple, with one writing, “Aw! You two are so perfect together! Makes me so happy to see you happy!! ❤️❤️ Yay for love! Much happiness to you lovebirds! 💖.” While Howard plays the teen Tate on DAYS, fear not because he’s not actually a teenager. He’s 27, and Hall is 34, but their outward visages make them appear younger than they are, allowing them to play a wide and varied array of characters. 

Surprising Dopplegangers

One fan responded to Howard’s post, stating, “You and @robert_rausch doppelgängers.” Rausche is a self-proclaimed video creator who surprisingly bears a striking resemblance to the soap star. Similarly, another fan made a connection by responding, “Um she looks like @stassischroeder from Vanderpump rules 😮😮😮,” who is author and podcaster Stassi Schroeder Clark, who also really does look like Hall. However, their lookalikes are not soap stars like Howard and Hall.

Tate’s got a lot going on in Salem because his parents think he’s at Lacrosse camp to keep him away from Holly (Ashley Puzemis) since they believe she’s nothing but trouble. However, the clever Tate got a friend to take his place at the camp, and he’s really hiding out at the Horton Cabin. Holly and Tate are sort of like Romeo and Juliet because their parents want to keep them apart, but let’s hope they don’t have a tragic ending like the Shakespearean characters!
