Chicago P.D. fans, brace yourselves — Marina Squerciati just dropped a major bombshell: she welcomed her second child in 2024, and no one saw it coming.
In a heartfelt interview released this week, the actress — best known for her role as Officer Kim Burgess — confirmed the joyful news, revealing that she gave birth to her second baby earlier this year. The biggest shock? She managed to keep the entire pregnancy private from the public eye, cast, and even most of the press.
“The real reason I kept it quiet,” Squerciati shared, “was to protect my peace. I wanted something for myself, something sacred, before the world got hold of it.”
The actress went on to explain that while she shares much of her life with fans, this time felt different. After navigating the intense schedule of Chicago P.D. and raising her first child in the public eye, she said this second journey into motherhood felt more personal — more grounded.
Squerciati also revealed that her Chicago P.D. family was incredibly supportive once they found out, with the cast and crew rallying around her during filming to ensure she had the space she needed. “They’ve always been my second family,” she said. “They get it.”
While she has yet to share the baby’s name or a photo, fans are already flooding social media with congratulatory messages and praise for how gracefully she handled such a big life moment.
With Season 13 of Chicago P.D. already in motion, Marina’s future both on-screen and at home looks bright — and beautifully balanced.
