Firehouse 51 is famous for its fiery romances and dramatic love triangles, but off-screen, the cast of Chicago Fire leads far steadier lives. Many of the actors behind your favorite characters have been happily married or in long-term relationships for years — some even finding love in unexpected places, from makeup trailers to Halloween parties.
With Chicago Fire Season 14 heating up on NBC, here’s a look at the real-life partners of the show’s stars.
Taylor Kinney (Kelly Severide) & Ashley Cruger
Taylor Kinney married model Ashley Cruger in 2024 after two years of dating. Cruger even appeared in a cameo during Season 11. The pair wed in an intimate Chicago ceremony, keeping their romance mostly private.
David Eigenberg (Christopher Herrmann) & Chrysti Eigenberg
David Eigenberg has been married to Chrysti since 2002. The couple met at a gala in Virginia and quickly tied the knot. They share two children and recently celebrated David’s 60th birthday with a sentimental family surprise.
Joe Minoso (Joe Cruz) & Caitlin Murphy Miles
Joe Minoso fell in love on set — his wife Caitlin Murphy Miles worked as a makeup artist on Chicago Fire. They married in 2016, and in 2022, Miles opened a wellness boutique and yoga studio in Illinois.
Christian Stolte (Randall “Mouch” McHolland) & Kim Whitehead-Stolte
