Chicago P.D. star Marina Squerciati is embracing the holiday spirit in the most heartwarming way—with her lookalike daughter by her side! The actress, best known for playing Officer Kim Burgess on NBC’s hit police drama, recently delighted fans by sharing a rare and festive photo of her mini-me daughter, showcasing a sweet mother-daughter moment just in time for the holiday season.
A Rare Glimpse Into Marina’s Life as a Mom
While Squerciati keeps much of her personal life private, she occasionally treats fans to glimpses of her life beyond the badge—and this time, it was all about holiday magic! The actress took to Instagram to share a joyful and cozy photo featuring herself and her daughter, both dressed in matching holiday-themed outfits, standing beside a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. “Tis the season for matching PJs, too many cookies, and lots of laughter,” Squerciati captioned the photo, adding a series of festive emojis. The picture immediately stole the hearts of her followers, not only because of the adorable mother-daughter twinning moment but also because fans rarely get to see this personal side of the actress.
Fans React: “She’s Your Mini-Burgess!”
It didn’t take long for Squerciati’s comment section to flood with love from fans, co-stars, and friends.
- “She’s your mini-me, for sure! Absolutely adorable!”
- “This is giving major Burgess-and-Makayla vibes, but in real life!”
- “Marina, you’re such an amazing actress AND an incredible mom. Love seeing these moments!”
Many fans couldn’t help but draw parallels between Marina’s on-screen and off-screen motherhood. In Chicago P.D., Kim Burgess has had a deeply emotional journey as a foster mother to Makayla, played by young actress Ramona Edith Williams. The storyline has been one of Burgess’s most compelling arcs, showing her struggles, triumphs, and fierce protective instincts as a mother figure.
The Balancing Act: Actress, Officer Burgess, and Supermom
Marina Squerciati has proven time and time again that she can handle just about anything—whether it’s chasing down criminals on-screen, mastering the art of motherhood, or simply making time for life’s little joys. While filming a high-intensity show like Chicago P.D. can be grueling, she has always prioritized finding balance. In past interviews, she has opened up about the challenges of juggling a demanding career with motherhood, admitting that while it’s tough, it’s also incredibly rewarding. “Being a mom changes your perspective on everything. It makes you stronger, more patient, and more grateful for every little moment,” she once shared. And judging by her latest photo, Marina is making the most of those precious moments.
