Jason Beghe, who masterfully portrays the complicated Sergeant Hank Voight, has focused on single life and parenting since his 2017 divorce from Angie Janu after nearly two decades of marriage. The actor, known for his character’s unwavering dedication to his team, has shown the same commitment to co-parenting his two sons, maintaining a private personal life that stands in stark contrast to his character’s often-public moral dilemmas.
Meanwhile, Marina Squerciati, beloved by fans as Officer Kim Burgess, skillfully balances her demanding role with motherhood. The actress welcomed a daughter in 2017 and has made the admirable choice to keep her child’s father’s identity private, demonstrating the same protective instincts that make her character so compelling. “Being a working mom in this industry comes with challenges,” Squerciati once shared in a rare interview about her personal life, “but it’s also incredibly rewarding to show my daughter what pursuing your passion looks like.”
The romance between Jesse Lee Soffer (who played Detective Jay Halstead) and Tracy Spiridakos (Detective Hailey Upton) on-screen translated into one of the show’s most popular couples, affectionately dubbed “Upstead” by devoted fans. While their characters found their happy ending in marriage, rumors have persistently circulated about the actors’ real-life relationship status. Though neither has confirmed a romantic involvement, their undeniable chemistry and frequent appearances on each other’s social media accounts have kept the speculation alive long after Soffer’s departure from the series. Their playful interactions at industry events continue to fuel fan theories about a possible off-screen relationship.
Patrick John Flueger, who plays the streetwise Officer Adam Ruzek, has been in a long-term relationship with model and actress Reem Amara. The couple maintains a relatively low profile, occasionally sharing glimpses of their life together on social media. The contrast between Flueger’s stable personal relationship and his character’s tumultuous romantic history—particularly the on-again, off-again relationship with Burgess—creates an interesting parallel between art and life.
LaRoyce Hawkins, the charismatic actor behind Officer Kevin Atwater, stands out among his castmates for his dedication to his hometown of Harvey, Illinois. While keeping details of his romantic life largely private, Hawkins has been open about his role as a devoted father to his son. His commitment to family and community reflects the same loyalty his character demonstrates to his fellow officers and the neighborhoods he serves.
Amy Morton, who brilliantly portrays the no-nonsense Desk Sergeant Trudy Platt, has applied her character’s trademark discretion to her personal life. The veteran actress has successfully maintained privacy regarding her relationships, focusing public attention on her acclaimed work rather than her romantic entanglements—a professional approach that mirrors Sergeant Platt’s dedication to the job above all else.
The newest additions to the Intelligence Unit have also brought interesting personal stories to the ensemble. Benjamin Levy Aguilar, who plays Officer Dante Torres, has kept his dating life relatively private while establishing himself as the show’s rising star, while Lisseth Chavez (former Officer Vanessa Rojas) was rumored to have briefly dated a crew member before her departure from the series. As “Chicago P.D.” continues to deliver the high-stakes drama fans crave, the cast’s personal relationships remind us that behind these intense portrayals are real people navigating love and life—sometimes just as complicated as the stories they help tell every week on one of television’s most compelling police dramas.
