She plays a tough-as-nails cop on screen, but in real life, Marina Squerciati is just “Mom” — and her latest post proves she’s loving every minute of it.
In a rare and heartwarming Instagram moment, Chicago P.D. star Marina Squerciati shared an adorable photo with her daughter — and the Internet collectively melted. Known for her fierce portrayal of Officer Kim Burgess, Marina showed a softer side as she posed with her mini-me, both flashing matching smiles that could light up the entire Windy City.
Fans were quick to fill the comments with love, many pointing out how much her daughter looks like her. Dressed in cozy, casual outfits, the pair looked more like sisters than mother and daughter, with the little one stealing hearts with her expressive eyes and cheeky grin. “Burgess, but tiny! This is the cutest thing I’ve seen all week!” one fan wrote.
“Her twin! How are they this adorable?” another added.
While Marina has always been fiercely private about her family life, she occasionally blesses fans with glimpses of motherhood — and each post feels like a gift. This latest photo isn’t just sweet — it’s a reminder that behind the badge, behind the stunts and the dramatic scenes, there’s a woman balancing work and motherhood with effortless grace.
What’s even more special? The timing. With Chicago P.D. deep into its latest season, and Kim Burgess facing intense emotional arcs, fans are loving the contrast between Marina’s real life and her on-screen persona. It’s proof that she can command a crime scene and a cuddle session — all in a day’s work.
As the cast continues to film in Chicago, Marina’s adorable mommy-daughter moment offered a breath of fresh air in a world of gritty plotlines and high-stakes drama. And fans? They’re begging for more.
