Hollywood fans are once again lighting up social media with rumors of a secret off-screen romance — this time involving beloved cast members of the hit NBC police drama Chicago P.D.
Although there’s no official confirmation from the actors themselves, fan speculation and online buzz have been growing steadily. Rumors first gained traction months ago when photos surfaced of Tracy Spiridakos (who played Detective Hailey Upton) and Jesse Lee Soffer (Jay Halstead) together during a trip abroad, reigniting dating chatter among followers. Notably, Soffer even wished Spiridakos a warm happy birthday on Instagram last year — a gesture that fueled speculation even more.
Amidst this backdrop of speculation, fans have also extended their theories to Jason Beghe, the veteran actor who portrays Sergeant Hank Voight. While Beghe hasn’t been directly linked romantically to Spiridakos in any reliable reports, social platforms have been awash with chatter about apparent chemistry between the two stars in behind-the-scenes moments posted during Chicago P.D. promotional events and set interactions. These clips and photos, shared unofficially by fans on TikTok and Reddit, have kept the rumor mill spinning.
However, it’s important to separate fan-driven conjecture from fact: industry outlets and verified news sources have not reported a confirmed romantic relationship between Beghe and Spiridakos. What is real is the enthusiasm from the fanbase — especially around the actresses’ and actors’ professional collaboration. Many fans have fondly celebrated the dynamic between characters like Upton, Halstead, and Voight throughout the show’s One Chicago universe.
Interestingly, this renewed fan interest comes during a period of excitement for Chicago P.D. and its extended franchise. A major One Chicago crossover event — bringing together Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D. — recently aired, featuring the return of Spiridakos and Soffer to their iconic roles after time away.
Whether this latest wave of buzz has any basis in reality remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: fans aren’t ready to let go of the romantic rumors anytime soon.
