Taylor Kinney, the well-known actor from Chicago Fire, tied the knot with model Ashley Cruger after two years of dating. The couple exchanged vows in a private ceremony in Chicago on April 30, following Kinney’s completion of filming for season 12 of the popular NBC drama series.
Kinney, 42, and Cruger’s relationship began in 2022, with Kinney publicly sharing the first photo of Cruger on his Instagram account in March of that year. The couple made their relationship official in April by attending a charity event together in Utah. Subsequently, Cruger introduced Kinney on her own Instagram by posting a picture of them at a race in Texas.
Despite keeping their relationship relatively private, Kinney and Cruger have occasionally posted pictures of each other on social media. In April 2023, Cruger shared a sweet selfie of the couple sharing a kiss during their Easter celebration.
Notably, this marks Kinney’s first marriage, having been previously engaged to Lady Gaga, a relationship that ended in 2016. Kinney’s return to Chicago Fire for the current season 12 came after a hiatus, with his character Lt. Kelly Severide making a dramatic re-entry in the season premiere that included a memorable shower scene.
As Kinney continues his role on Chicago Fire, fans are excited to see how his character’s journey unfolds in the latest season. The actor’s personal life milestone with his marriage to Cruger adds a new chapter to his already successful career in the entertainment industry.
