💍 Chicago Fire Star Jake Lockett Elopes in Intimate Hawaiian Wedding — Days After Exit News
It’s a season of new beginnings for Chicago Fire’s Jake Lockett — both on screen and off.
The actor, best known for his role as firefighter Sam Carver, has officially tied the knot! As first confirmed by People, Lockett eloped with actress Dominique Domingo on June 18 in a stunning, low-key ceremony near Kalihiwai Falls in Hawaii.
The celebration was small, personal, and deeply intentional — with only the couple’s parents in attendance. In fact, the ceremony marked the first time their families ever met. But the couple didn’t just exchange vows; they made space for connection.
“Our families had never met, so making sure we had time to commune together was important to us,” Lockett shared with People. “Cooking meals together, sitting and watching our favorite funny movies, hanging in the water and learning about each other… all those things helped to make the family aspect that much more special.”
A Love Story Written in the Wild
Nature played a starring role in the ceremony — fitting, since it inspired a key part of their love story. Lockett revealed that during a hike at Yellowstone, months before he met Domingo, he sat beside a waterfall and wrote a song about the woman he hoped to meet one day.
“The song was asking her to stay true and be patient for me,” he said.
So when it came time to plan the wedding, marrying near a waterfall felt like destiny fulfilled.
The couple also blended sands from two meaningful locations: the beach in Kauai where they wed and a beach in Mexico where Lockett proposed on January 30. Every detail reflected their journey — thoughtful, symbolic, and full of heart.
The Look: Classic Meets Coastal
Lockett and Domingo shared exclusive ceremony photos with People, and the visuals are just as magical as their story.

Dominique wore a romantic gown by Maggie Sottero.

Jake opted for a custom Irish linen suit by KERCHER, complete with Hawaiian floral lining and their wedding date embroidered under the collar — a hidden but meaningful detail.
Off the Show, Into a New Chapter
The wedding news comes just as fans prepare to say goodbye to Lockett’s Chicago Fire character. After three seasons, it was confirmed ahead of the Season 13 finale that Lockett would not return for Season 14.
The show set up Carver’s departure in a heartfelt arc where he leaves Firehouse 51 to take a new role in Denver, prioritizing his sobriety and personal growth. Whether we’ll see Lockett return for a cameo or closure in the Season 14 premiere is still unclear.
A Bittersweet Goodbye, and a Beautiful Beginning
While fans are sad to see Sam Carver go, Lockett’s real-life story is one of love, growth, and moving forward with intention. His intimate Hawaiian elopement wasn’t just a wedding — it was the beginning of a new chapter, both personally and professionally.
From the firehouse to forever, Jake Lockett is proving that life after Chicago Fire can be just as full of heart.
