Chicago Fire fans have been rooting for the relationship between Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd since day one. It has been a process that has had its beautiful highs, as well as some scary lows. Severide and Kidd then took on their latest trials in love this past week, starting from where the two first met. Here, a look back at some highlights of their relationship over the years.
A Rocky Beginning
Stella Kidd’s relationship with Kelly Severide got off to a rocky start when she first joined Firehouse 51. The scene sets both limbs in tension between each other, two human beings trying to figure out the right balance between their work and emotional lives. Kidd was not impressed by Severide despite his charm. This was the first bit of discomfort on our way to a complicated but loving relationship.
Getting Closer Despite Challenges
With the passing of seasons, Kelly and Stella’s relationship started to transform. There and chemistry was undeniable, but outside forces were always threatening to break them apart. Severide battled his demons, from abusing alcohol to the ghosts of a traumatic past. Stella, meanwhile, was facing her obstacles, including her struggle to be accepted as a good firefighter. As tough as these challenges were, they drew them closer together. Over time, they grew to be each other’s crutch through the dark days.
The Proposal: A Big Step Forward
Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) and Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) had one of the most memorable moments in their relationship yet when he proposed to her. A moment in time for both leads. The sparkly bauble itself was so much more than a mere romantic gesture; it reflected their journey together. Severide finally found someone who could not only challenge him but also the love and stability that he needed. Stella, likewise, had found a soulmate who respected her and encouraged her dreams.
Marriage and New Beginnings
The duo eventually got married, and their relationship just leveled up. Their wedding was a beautiful, emotional moment fans had been waiting for. Kelly and Stella were finally in the right place in their lives to be fully ready for each other after years of craziness. But the challenges didn´t end there, even as a married couple. As always, their jobs at Firehouse 51 put a strain on their relationship since they both found themselves in life-and-death situations frequently. Yet, their bond remained unbreakable. The couple learned how to keep their love alive as they grappled with the complications of a high-risk job.
Facing the Future Together
Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd have been a perfect example of how love prevails through even the most difficult situations that life throws at them. From the challenges of their careers to what seem more personal demons, they have always had each other back. Their love story is far from over as they continue to grow both individually and together.
The on-again-off-again dynamic has been a huge plot device for the Chicago Fire. Viewers saw them transition from bitter enemies to a couple that would later share a neck-biting kiss. The couple took TV viewers behind the scenes, showing that even rarely in the unpredictable and dangerous role of a firefighter is love enough to keep people going.
