At the end of season 12 of Chicago Fire, Severide (Taylor Kinney) told Kidd he was ready to start a family, which took her by surprise.
uring season 13, which premiered in September 2024, Kidd revealed that she wants to be a mom and proposed going the adoption route since her aunt basically adopted and raised her as a kid.
“Stella is in love with Kelly. I don’t think she ever was a woman who wanted to be married. I don’t think she ever envisioned that type of, you know, wife and kids type of life for herself,” Mayo told Us, noting that Kidd’s relationship with Severide is what swayed her to change her tune.
he said after 10 seasons together they have “a lot of fun.” (Mayo joined Chicago Fire during season 4 in 2016, while Kinney has been part of the series since its 2012 premiere.)
Mayo added, “Sometimes it just works. I feel really lucky to be in this duo with him and I’m really grateful that it works and that it continues to work.
