Christian Stolte’s Randall McHolland, better known as “Mouch” is one of the few original characters left on Chicago Fire, so it comes as no surprise that after 12 seasons, he’s become quite a fan favorite. And the more people see Mouch and Stolte, the more they want to know both about the character and about the actor who plays him. So, who is Christian Stolte’s wife and who is Chicago Fire’s Mouch married to in real life?
Christian Stolte’s Wife & Who Chicago Fire’s Mouch Is Married to in Real Life
Stolte has been married to his wife Kim Whitehead-Stolte for over twenty years. In 2021, she celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary with a carousel of throwback pictures from their wedding day in 2001, which shows them both smiling and looking very young. In one picture, they’re sharing cake, and in another one Stolte is seen with a guitar. They both live in Chicago, which is pretty convenient considering Stolte’s job on Chicago Fire, which films on location in the city.
The couple has two daughters, Corrinne Anderson and Greta Stolte. Both have followed in their father’s footsteps and ventured into the entertainment world, and it all started with the show their father is still on: Chicago Fire. Stolte’s youngest daughter, Greta, appeared in the show’s first episode as a civilian who was rescued.
Corinne, meanwhile, had the joy of playing Mouch’s actual biological daughter, Lizzie Shaffer, in one episode of Chicago Fire, Season 3, Episode 17 “Forgive You Anything” and one episode of Chicago Med, Season 4, Episode 20 “More Harm Than Good.”
Through Corinne, Stolte and his wife Kim also have three young grandchildren, named Margot Eden Thomas, Elodie Mae Thomas, and Odin Arlo Thomas.
Chicago Fire is NBC’s drama series that follows the professional and personal lives of firefighters, rescue personnel, and paramedics of the Chicago Fire Department’s fictional Firehouse 51. Stolte made his debut as Randall “Mouch” McHolland, a firefighter at Firehouse 51 in the first episode of Season 1 of Chicago Fire, way back in 2012.
There’s romance for Mouch on the show, as well. In fact, his love story might be the most consistent one in the whole of One Chicago. His character is married to Chicago P.D.’s Trudy Platt – though it didn’t start that way. We see their whole relationship play out on screen during the two shows, from their first meeting during the wedding of Chief Boden to their first date in Season 3 of Chicago Fire, to their Season 4 wedding. And though the two don’t regularly appear together, both characters have made multiple appearances on both shows – with Platt more frequently popping over on Chicago Fire, as both she and Mouch co-own Molly’s alongside Herrmann.
Suffice it to say Christian Stolte is lucky in love, both on-screen and off!
