Chicago P.D. Stars' Secret Romance Rumors Emerge

Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos, stars of the police drama Chicago P.D., have reportedly been secretly dating for years, with romance rumors surfacing in January 2024. The actors first met on the set of the Dick Wolf series, where they played Hailey Upton and Jay Halstead, respectively. Their characters developed a significant on-screen romance, culminating in marriage before both actors departed the show. Soffer exited the series in 2022, while Spiridakos announced her departure after season 10, which aired in 2023.

Despite no public statements addressing the speculation, Spiridakos and Soffer have continued to spend time together, including a reported European vacation. Their on-screen characters' storyline was adjusted to accommodate their exits, with Upton and Halstead divorcing. Both actors have shared supportive messages about each other's work on social media. Fans will see them reunite in a March 2026 One Chicago crossover special, where Upton returns as an FBI Special Agent and Halstead is involved undercover in a related case.
