Former ‘Chicago P.D.’ Stars Hint at New Romantic Connection

Chicago P.D. fans have cherished the on-screen romance between Detective Hailey Upton Halstead and Senior Detective Jay Halstead over the years. Their relationship, portrayed on the popular television show, sadly came to an end at the start of Season 11, leaving fans heartbroken. Both characters have exited the series, but there might be some hopeful news in reality.

Speculation is rising that actors Tracy Spiridakos and Jesse Lee Soffer might have developed a real-life connection after playing a married couple on the show. Here’s what has fueled these rumors.

Recently, Tracy Spiridakos shared a photo dump on Instagram from a trip to Lisbon. Captioned “Lisbon, you’re a beauty,” the collection included a selfie of her and Jesse Lee Soffer, which has set the rumor mill buzzing.

The pair’s photos from Lisbon show a more personal side of their relationship. Tracy also included several pictures showcasing the beautiful sights of Lisbon and a shot of herself enjoying a meal at a restaurant. Jesse Lee Soffer added to the speculation by sharing the same photo of them with the flirtatious caption, “Europe is kinda cool 😘😘.”

This possible real-life romance between Tracy and Jesse has delighted fans, who lovingly refer to them as “Upstead,” derived from their character names on Chicago P.D. On the show, Upton and Halstead got married in Season 9, only to part ways in Season 11. Halstead’s departure was precipitated by his moral conflict, inspiring him to return to the Army and fight drug cartels in Bolivia, ultimately leading to their on-screen divorce.

Following their respective exits from the show, the actors seem to have maintained a close bond, much to the joy of their supporters. Fans were thrilled to see the duo in a different light, revealing how much their on-screen chemistry has permeated their real lives.

Excitement surged among the fanbase, with many expressing their happiness in the comment sections of their Instagram posts:

• “Great to see you and Jesse enjoying Lisbon. Portugal looks good on both of you.”
• “omgggg the best confirmation ever. beautiful couple!!!”
• “Really inexplicable the happiness received with this post, you both are absolutely amazing and to see you smiling together is all this world needs”

While fans may be overjoyed at the prospect of Tracy Spiridakos and Jesse Lee Soffer being together, neither the actors nor their representatives have confirmed or denied any romantic involvement.

The potential off-screen romance between Tracy and Jesse has indeed captivated many, especially given their on-screen history as a married couple navigating their personal and professional lives in Chicago P.D.
