While Sylvie Brett just rode off into the sunset with Matt Casey on Chicago Fire, actress Kara Killmer had already found her own happy ending — and it’s just as heartwarming as the one on screen.
In real life, Kara Killmer is married to fellow actor Andrew Cheney. The couple tied the knot in May 2016, after meeting on the set of the faith-based film Beyond the Mask in 2015. The chemistry was instant, but what grew afterward was even more beautiful — a deep friendship turned romance, built on faith, trust, and shared values.
Though Kara is private about her personal life, fans who’ve followed her journey know that her marriage has been a constant source of strength and support. In an industry often fueled by drama and spotlight, Kara and Andrew have quietly nurtured something real — away from the noise, but full of heart.
While fans around the world were swooning over Brett and Casey’s fictional wedding, Kara’s real-life love story was already thriving. And just like her Chicago Fire character, Kara is grounded, gracious, and driven by genuine connection.
She may have left Firehouse 51, but off-screen, she’s embraced a new role: a loving wife and partner building a life full of purpose and passion.
So while Sylvie Brett finally found forever with Captain Casey, Kara Killmer had already found hers — and fans couldn’t be happier for her.
