Tracy Spiridakos is among many celebrities who are private about their romantic lives; however, her well-known character Detective Hailey Upton, on "Chicago P.D.," is quite an open book. On the show, she led an on-screen romance with Jay Halstead, played by Jesse Lee Soffer.
Detective Upton was absolutely smitten with her beau and wasn't afraid to show it. She and Halstead spontaneously tied the knot in the Season 9 finale after the pair had gone through quite a rough patch.

Speaking about the ending during a December 2021 interview, Spiridakos and Soffer agreed that the ending was "logical," providing closure for their characters and the show's viewers. Still, though Spiridakos has been open about Detective Upton's romantic life, she's been tight-lipped about her own.

Tracy Was Engaged a Long Time Ago
Spriridakos and former co-star Jon Cor were engaged in December 2012. The pair had met on the set of 2010's thriller "The Boy She Met Online" and went on to star in other productions alongside each other, including "Being Human."
