Joyful news from the One Chicago universe—Marina Squerciati, known for her beloved role as Officer Kim Burgess on Chicago P.D., has quietly welcomed her second child in 2024!
The actress, who has long kept her personal life out of the spotlight, surprised fans with the news via a heartfelt Instagram post. The photo shows Marina holding her newborn, with a soft caption that simply reads: “My heart just doubled. Welcome to the world, little one.”
This is Marina’s second child—she previously gave birth to her first daughter in 2017. Known for balancing her demanding TV role with motherhood, Marina has often spoken about the importance of privacy and intention when it comes to family.
Fans and co-stars quickly flooded her post with congratulations. Many Chicago P.D. castmates, including LaRoyce Hawkins (Atwater) and Patrick John Flueger (Ruzek), left heart emojis and celebratory messages. Showrunner Gwen Sigan even reposted the announcement, calling Marina “a real-life superhero.”
It’s unclear whether her pregnancy overlapped with filming for Chicago P.D. Season 13, which premieres this fall. However, insiders say the production team worked around her schedule with “deep admiration and support.”
As fans celebrate her growing family, many are already wondering how this joyous news might influence Burgess’s arc in upcoming episodes—especially with her character’s recent storylines around motherhood and healing.
For now, though, it’s all love and light for the actress who brings so much heart to the screen and now welcomes even more into her own life.
