10. Laura Is Married To Ben Foster

Laura became engaged to Ben Foster back in 2016, but they put the wedding on hold until after their daughter was born in 2017. They eventually tied the knot in 2018, and now they have just revealed that a second child is on the way.

Foster is an American actor who has starred in several films like X-Men: The Last Stand, Alpha Dog, and Kounterfeit. We expect their relationship to last for years to come as they enjoy life with one another and their children.

9. Prepon's Favorite Chef Is Ina Garten

This actress's favorite chef is Ina Garten and she loves to make recipes from her books. The chef has released several Barefoot Contessa books that Laura Prepon has bought to use at home.

We can only imagine that she binge-watches her show as well to learn new tips and tricks she can use in the kitchen. Prepon also says she utilizes her mother's recipes when she is hosting friends or family, but Ina Garten is her go-to for a lot of meals.

8. Her Net Worth Is $14 Million

Prepon has starred in several hit shows like That 70's Show and Orange Is the New Black, so it shouldn't come at a surprise that she is fairly wealthy. This actress is currently worth $14 million which is more than most of us will see in our lifetime.

She is currently 39-years-old and as of now, she is not working on any new projects. It doesn't come as a surprise though seeing as she has enough funds to last her a while and she has another child on the way.

7. She Almost Became A Surgeon

Laura's mother worked as a high school teacher, while her father was an orthopedic surgeon. Her father died during heart surgery when she was young, and she has voiced that she would have taken that path if acting hadn't worked out.

We don't doubt that she would have made an excellent surgeon, but we think acting was a better route for her to take. It wasn't like she had much of a choice as she entered this career field younger than most.

6. Laura Is A Natural Redhead

Many actresses choose to dye their hair red, but Prepon's hair is naturally a scarlet hue. She has chosen to dye it other colors in recent years, whether it be blonde or black, but her natural shade is arguably her prettiest.

There are so many girls who wish their locks were as beautiful as hers. It is a shame that the color couldn't be kept for more of her performances, but she does manage to rock whatever hue they decide to make her hair.

5. She Co-Wrote 'The Stash Plan'

We already know that Laura is obsessed with cooking and at least one celebrity chef, but she even co-wrote a book. The book is called The Stash Plan, which is an eating guide that lasts 21 days to help readers lose weight.

She worked with Elizabeth Troy, a nutritionist, on the project and they combined healthy recipes with holistic medicine. It aims to make eating fun again, instead of something you avoid, to increase your metabolism and burn more fat.

4. Prepon Is A Scientologist

Prepon's father was a Jewish man, while her mother was Catholic, but she has decided to take a different path. This actress is a self-proclaimed Scientologist who claims to follow the religion because it relaxes her.

She has received plenty of backlash due to some of the statements she has made about the religion that don't portray it in the right light.

3. She Has Won Several Awards

This actress has won several awards for her work including Satellite awards and Screen Actors Guild awards, as well as several nominations for Teen Choice Awards. These have been everything from her acting, to that of an entire cast.

She has only received nominations for her roles in That 70's Show and Orange Is the New Black. We expect her to win more in the future once she comes back from the time she took for herself to be a mother to her children.

2. Laura Moved To Milan At 15

Laura always had big aspirations and wanted to feel like she belonged, which is why she moved to Milan when she was just 15-years-old. There was no one else with her when she dropped out of school and went overseas to start a new life as a model.

She ended up traveling across the world as she modeled in Milan, Paris, London, and Brazil. Prepon didn't make it back to the states for two years, after which time she started acting and then landed her star role on That 70's Show.

1. She Was Enrolled At The Caroline Thomas' Total Theater Lab

Laura Prepon learned the ropes at the Caroline Thomas' Total Theater Lab in New York City. This is where she worked with the staff to develop her skills and turn her into the great actress she is today.
