Miranda Rae Mayo has become a fan favorite on Chicago Fire as Stella Kidd, the bold, passionate, and fearless lieutenant who brings heart and heat to Firehouse 51. But off-screen, Mayo is just as compelling. With her radiant energy and outspoken voice for mental health and self-empowerment, she’s blazing her own trail in Hollywood.
Since joining the show in Season 4, Mayo has turned Kidd into a symbol of strength and resilience. Whether it’s mentoring young women, navigating tough leadership calls, or bringing romance and fire to her relationship with Severide, she brings a magnetic energy that anchors every scene.
Stella’s rise through the ranks mirrors Mayo’s own rise — and fans are here for it.
