Love and Drama: The Real-Life Romances of ‘Chicago P.D.’ Cast

CHICAGO, IL — The cast of NBC’s popular drama ‘Chicago P.D.’ has experienced a wealth of romance both on and off-screen since its debut in 2014. Set in the Chicago Police Department’s 21st District, the series has captivated viewers with its portrayal of crime-solving detectives and the complicated relationships they navigate.

Currently in its tenth season, ‘Chicago P.D.’ continues to air new episodes every Wednesday night. Alongside its gripping storylines, the show has introduced viewers to numerous on-screen couples like Kim Burgess, played by Marina Squerciati, and Adam Ruzek, portrayed by Patrick John Flueger, who have become fan favorites under the nickname “Bruzek.”

However, the romantic drama does not solely reside in the script. Many cast members are involved in real-life relationships that often echo the dynamics explored in the show.

Jason Beghe, who plays Sergeant Hank Voight, has remained single on the show since the death of his character’s wife but once experienced marriage in his personal life. He was married to actress Angie Janu from 2000 until their divorce in 2011 and has two sons together, Bix and Bo Bear.

Patrick John Flueger, known for his on-and-off relationship with Kim Burgess, is currently dating model Reem Amara. The couple has shared glimpses of their relationship on social media, including a playful post from Flueger after Amara made a cameo in ‘Chicago P.D.’

Marina Squerciati, on the other hand, is married to Eli Kay-Oliphant. While they maintain a level of privacy regarding their relationship, they welcomed their daughter in 2017 and expanded their family in 2024.

Longtime cast member Amy Morton, who plays Trudy Platt, has been married to theater designer Rob Milburn since 1997. They have weathered challenges together, revealing that Morton initially had reservations about Milburn, but he proved his support during difficult times.

Fans are also curious about Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos, whose on-screen characters were married but divorced by the beginning of season 11. Speculation about a romantic link between the two off-screen has been swirling, exacerbated by them sharing social media posts of their travels together.

Another couple of note is Jon Seda, who portrayed Antonio Dawson during the earlier seasons of the show. Seda has been married to Lisa Gomez since 2000, declaring her his greatest support in numerous interviews.

Sophia Bush, who left the show in 2017, has been in a relationship with Ashlyn Harris since late 2023 and seems to have found a deep connection following their respective divorces.

As the series continues its gripping narrative, fans are equally captivated by the off-screen relationships that reflect a blend of love and complexity, mirroring the very drama that makes ‘Chicago P.D.’ a standout in the television landscape.
