Taylor Kinney’s wife, Ashley Cruger, is proving she’s just as much a part of the One Chicago family as her husband.
The Chicago Fire star has spent 13 years playing Lieutenant Kelly Severide, and Ashley has been his biggest supporter. After tying the knot last year in a surprise wedding, she has grown even closer to the cast, and a new photo proves just how much she fits right in.
Inside Ashley Cruger’s One Chicago Girls’ Night
On Monday, Chicago P.D. actress Marina Squerciati (Detective Kim Burgess) shared a series of candid photos from a fun-filled girls’ night with her co-stars. The pictures featured a close-knit group of One Chicago women, including Ashley Cruger, Reem Amara (girlfriend of Chicago P.D.’s Patrick Flueger), and a star-studded guest list of cast members.
Among those in attendance were:
✔ S. Epatha Merkerson (Chicago Med)
✔ Jessy Schram (Chicago Med)
✔ Miranda Rae Mayo (Chicago Fire)
✔ Toya Turner (Chicago Fire)
✔ Sarah Ramos (The Bear, Parenthood)
✔ Jocelyn Hudon (The Strain)
The women laughed, toasted cocktails, and enjoyed a sushi feast—followed by a spread of brownies and other sweet treats. The fun and unfiltered night was captured in blurry, carefree photos, with Marina captioning the post:
“Great women. Great food. Great wine. Great night. These photos are blurry and not ‘IG perfect’—just friends having fun.”
Fans flooded the comments, gushing over the heartwarming bond between the women. One follower wrote, “I want to be at this party!”, while others praised their friendship, saying, “This is so beautiful!”
Ashley & Taylor Kinney’s Love Story
Ashley and Taylor surprised fans when they got married on April 30 last year after two years of dating. Their relationship first went public in March 2022, when Taylor posted a photo of Ashley giving him a playful, stern look while getting her nails done.
Ashley later shared a hard launch of their romance in April 2022, posting a picture of the couple attending a Formula 1 race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. Later that same month, they made their red carpet debut at the Operation Smile 10th Annual Park City Ski Challenge, a charity event in Utah.
Since then, Ashley has become a beloved part of the One Chicago community, not just as Taylor’s wife, but as a true friend to the cast.
With her warm presence and strong friendships within the franchise, it’s clear that Ashley isn’t just married into One Chicago—she’s part of the family.
