Flueger Steps Out After Chicago P.D. Leave

Patrick John Flueger, who portrays Adam Ruzek in the popular procedural drama Chicago P.D., was recently observed attending the Lyric Opera of Chicago. This outing comes shortly after the actor announced his leave of absence from the series on October 22, citing personal matters. His appearance at the opera, accompanied by his girlfriend Reem Amara and costar Marina Squerciati, marks a rare public sighting since his hiatus began.

Flueger, a fixture on the show since 2014, appeared in good spirits at the event, dressed in a dapper three-piece suit. Squerciati shared photos from the evening on social media, expressing her enjoyment and encouraging others to experience live performances. The actress, who also stars as Detective Kim Burgess and is Flueger's real-life girlfriend, shared a candid selfie with him, showcasing their close bond off-screen.

Fans can expect Flueger's return to Chicago P.D. later in the current 13th season. His on-screen relationship with Squerciati's character, Detective Burgess, has been a significant storyline, with the couple even marrying in the season 12 finale. The actor's temporary departure was confirmed to be for a personal matter, with plans for his eventual return in place.
