Stella has always been a complex character, and her relationship with Severide has been one of the most interesting elements of the show for some time now. Finding out more about Stella’s backstory could shine a light on why the couple find themselves at this recent crossroads. Newman’s intriguing tease that the show will seek to answer both at the same time suggests that Kidd’s reluctance lies in how she grew upChicago Fire has already revealed her parents died when she was a teen, and she was raised by her aunt and uncle.

Whatever the revelation about Stella’s past is, it is certain to make things strained between the married couple, but will hopefully serve to only make the two stronger, perhaps by allowing them to actually talk through their individual feelings. Stella and Severide have not always had the smoothest relationship, with their biggest test involving Severide’s extended leave of absence in Chicago Fire season 11. These new revelations could be the final blow for their marriage, depending on whether they lead to a renewed understanding on the matter of having kids.
