Kyle Lowder Returning To Days Of Our Lives
Kyle Lowder took to his social media a few days ago to tease his followers about what he was up to. “I’m back in a very familiar place today, and tomorrow, and the next day. Give you a hint — I’m in Burbank at a studio. I’ve been doing this a long time, but it’s been a minute! I’m excited,” he said in a video from his car.
Fans guessed that he was on the lot to film for Days Of Our Lives. The show confirmed the news. Kyle Lowder has popped up on the Peacock soap over the years but reportedly wasn’t interested in returning full-time.
According to Soap Opera Digest, he moved to the Nevada area to be closer to his daughter, Isabella. He shares custody with his ex-wife and former co-star, Arianne Zucker (Nicole.) The two were married from 2002 until 2014. Their daughter was born in 2009. Arianne is currently engaged to Shawn Christian, who played Daniel on Days Of Our Lives.
Kyle Lowder also began a new career after moving to Nevada. He’s the morning news anchor for the CBS affiliate station in Reno, Nevada.

Kyle Lowder joined Days Of Our Lives in 2000 as Brady Black. He left the role in 2005, and it was later recast with Eric Martsolf in 2008. But in true soap opera twist, Kyle Lowder later returned to the soap as a recast Rex Brady in 2018. The role was previously played by Eric Winter, who now stars in ABC’s The Rookie.

Possible Storylines
Viewers won’t see Rex back on TV until the Spring of 2025. His return coincides with Alison Sweeney’s return as Rex’s half-sister, Sami Brady.
