Just days after bidding farewell to Firehouse 51, Jake Lockett embarks on a new journey — this time, as a husband.
The Chicago Fire star, known for playing firefighter Sam Carver, recently tied the knot with actress Dominique Domingo in a deeply personal elopement on June 18. The ceremony took place near the breathtaking Kalihiwai Falls in Kauai, Hawaii — a location as serene and soulful as the love story it now represents.
A Family-First Affair
Though the wedding was small, it was bursting with meaning. Only their parents were present, making it not just a celebration of love but also a heartfelt introduction between two families meeting for the very first time.
“Our families had never met, so making sure we had time to commune together was important to us,” Lockett told People.
“Cooking meals together, watching our favorite funny movies, being in the water, just learning about each other — it all made the experience even more special.”
A Love Story Written by Nature
Nature played a poetic role in their ceremony — a symbolic thread woven through the couple’s love story. Before meeting Domingo, Lockett had visited Yellowstone and written a song beside a waterfall about the woman he hoped to one day meet. That moment, he now says, was prophetic.
“The song was asking her to stay true and be patient for me,” he shared.
So when the time came to plan the wedding, marrying near a waterfall wasn’t just romantic — it was fate fulfilled.
The couple also took part in a meaningful sand ceremony, blending grains from the beach where they exchanged vows and a beach in Mexico, where Jake proposed on January 30. Every moment, every choice, carried emotional weight.
The Fashion: Effortless Elegance
The couple’s look was the perfect blend of timeless style and tropical charm.
Dominique stunned in a flowing Maggie Sottero gown, exuding beachside romance. Jake wore a custom Irish linen suit by KERCHER, featuring a Hawaiian floral lining and their wedding date embroidered under the collar — a subtle yet powerful keepsake of the day.
Their shared wedding photos, released exclusively through People, captured the magic: lush greenery, joyful smiles, and love that practically radiates off the page.
Saying Goodbye to Carver
This romantic milestone comes just as fans prepare to say goodbye to Jake’s character on Chicago Fire. After three seasons, it was confirmed ahead of the Season 13 finale that Lockett will not return for Season 14.
In a touching arc, Sam Carver left Firehouse 51 to take a new role in Denver, a move rooted in personal growth and his commitment to sobriety. Whether Lockett might return for a guest appearance in the future remains unknown, but fans are already feeling the bittersweet loss.
From Firefighting to Forever
Jake Lockett may be stepping away from the screen — for now — but he’s stepping fully into something even more meaningful. His intimate Hawaiian wedding marks not just a beautiful new chapter with Dominique, but a life built with intention, love, and reflection.
As one chapter closes, another begins — and it’s already proving to be just as heartfelt as any story told at Firehouse 51.
