Marina Squerciati Married Her College Sweetheart Meet The Chicago P.D. Star’s Husband in Real Life

While Officer Kim Burgess faces chaos and heartbreak on the streets of Chicago, actress Marina Squerciati is living a much more grounded — and private — love story off screen.

Fans of Chicago P.D. have always admired Marina’s strong, emotional performances, but many are surprised to learn she’s happily married in real life — and not to anyone in the spotlight.

So, who’s the lucky guy? Marina tied the knot with her college sweetheart, a man completely outside of Hollywood’s glare. His name? Eli Kay-Oliphant, a successful attorney who met Marina while the two were students at Northwestern University. They reconnected years later — and the rest is romantic history.

💑 While Marina keeps her marriage fiercely private, she occasionally offers sweet glimpses into their life together. The couple reportedly wed in an intimate ceremony, and in 2017, Marina gave birth to their daughter, making them a family of three.

🍼 “Being a mom and playing Kim Burgess are both full-time jobs,” Marina once shared in an interview. “But I wouldn’t trade either for the world.”

Despite the fame that Chicago P.D. brings, Marina has never let her personal life become tabloid fodder. She and Eli are rarely seen on red carpets and almost never post together on social media — a decision that’s only deepened fans’ curiosity.
