Fans of Chicago P.D. were treated to an unexpected delight this week when Marina Squerciati and Patrick John Flueger—known to millions as Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek—stepped out together for a rare evening appearance, turning heads with their effortless elegance and unmistakable chemistry.
The pair attended a private industry event in downtown Chicago, and while they arrived separately, photographers quickly captured them greeting each other with the warm familiarity that has made “Burzek” one of the most beloved partnerships in the One Chicago universe.
A Stylish and Sophisticated Duo
Squerciati stunned in a sleek black satin dress paired with minimalist jewelry and soft waves that highlighted her classic beauty. Flueger complemented her look with a sharp charcoal suit and open-collar shirt—polished yet relaxed, perfectly matching his signature charm.
Observers noted that the two spent much of the evening in conversation, laughing easily and posing together for photos. Their shared presence gave fans a glimpse of the real-life friendship behind their on-screen dynamic.
A Treat for Burzek Fans Everywhere
Burzek fans have been thriving on crumbs this year, especially amid Flueger’s temporary leave from Chicago P.D.. Seeing the actors together again reignited the fandom’s excitement.
Within minutes, social media lit up with reactions:

“They look incredible—Burzek forever!”
-
“Their chemistry is unreal even off screen.”

Even cast members from the One Chicago family joined in the fun, leaving supportive comments and heart emojis.
Their Off-Screen Bond Remains Strong
Though Squerciati and Flueger have always described their relationship as a close friendship, their natural rapport is undeniable. They’ve worked together since Season 1, evolving from scene partners to one of TV’s most emotionally layered duos.
Their genuine comfort with one another—easy smiles, relaxed posture, unforced warmth—reflects a professional bond built over more than a decade. It’s the kind of connection that gives their performances depth and authenticity.
What This Means for Chicago P.D.
While the appearance was not related to upcoming episodes, fans couldn’t help but speculate about what it might signal for Ruzek’s storyline. With Flueger temporarily away from the show, many wonder when the beloved character will return—and whether Burgess and Ruzek will finally find solid ground.
Production insiders have remained quiet, though they note that the writers have kept the door “wide open” for Flueger’s eventual comeback.
A Rare & Beautiful Reunion
Whatever the future holds for their characters, one thing is clear: Marina Squerciati and Patrick John Flueger together—on screen or off—are pure magic.
Elegant, radiant, and completely in sync, their night out was more than just a public appearance.
It was a reminder of why fans fell in love with Burzek in the first place.
