Ever since Jesse Lee Soffer (Jay Halstead) and Tracy Spiridakos (Hailey Upton) started sharing screen time, fans noticed something electric.
Off-screen? Let’s just say they’re very close.
They’ve never confirmed a relationship—but sightings at a New York jazz club, matching bracelets on red carpets, and interviews filled with knowing glances have kept fans guessing.
One crew member revealed, “They’d always sit next to each other. Even off the clock. You couldn’t fake that connection.”
Their chemistry helped elevate Upton and Halstead’s relationship to one of the most emotionally grounded in the Chicago universe.
Now that Soffer has left the show, fans are still asking: Was it just fiction? Or something more?
Neither actor has spoken publicly—but the silence only adds to the intrigue.
