In a surprise announcement that has fans buzzing, Chicago P.D. star Marina Squerciati has revealed the real reason behind her brief absence from two recent episodes of the hit NBC drama — she secretly welcomed baby number two!
The actress, best known for her role as Officer Kim Burgess, shared the exciting news with a playful Instagram post, showing a baby onesie and a caption that read: “Here’s the real reason I missed two episodes… Welcome, little one.” 💕 The reveal shocked fans who had been speculating for weeks about her storyline absence — and now it all makes sense.
Squerciati managed to keep her pregnancy entirely under wraps, making the announcement even more stunning. Known for being private about her personal life, Marina has yet to reveal the baby’s name or gender, but fans and castmates alike have flooded the comments with love and congratulations.
This marks her second child, as she previously gave birth to a daughter in 2017. Balancing motherhood and the demands of filming a high-stakes police procedural is no easy feat, but Marina has always made it look effortless — and now, she’s doing it all over again.
As for what’s next, fans can expect Burgess to return to the squad room soon, and hopefully, with even more emotional depth drawn from Squerciati’s real-life journey.
