Are Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos Dating? All About the 'Chicago P.D.' Alums' Rumored Romance (1)

Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos may have found love off-screen.

Apart from starring on Dick Wolf's procedural drama Chicago P.D., the actors' work was further intertwined because their characters, Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton, were married. Although the on-screen couple's relationship fizzled, Soffer and Spiridakos have fueled dating rumors away from the cameras.

While the two haven't publicly confirmed or denied their relationship, fans have spotted them side-by-side over the years — even after their exits from the NBC series. Soffer left at the beginning of season 10 in 2022 and Spiridakos followed suit after season 11 concluded in 2024.

Most recently, the pair appeared to go on a European vacation together to Lisbon, Portugal, in August 2024. Afterward, they posted photos of the trip featuring the country's different sights and views, plus a few selfies of them.

"Europe is kinda cool 😘😘,” Soffer captioned his pictures.

Here's everything to know about Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos' rumored relationship.

They worked together for five years on Chicago P.D.

When Spiridakos joined the Chicago P.D. cast during the second half of season 4 in 2017, Soffer was already a mainstay, having been part of the show since the pilot.

Over the next several installments, sparks began to fly between their characters Jay and Hailey after their highly-anticipated kiss in season 8, Spiridakos teased the changing dynamic on Instagram.

"Jay may or may not tell Hailey he loves her and she may or may not completely freak out and run out of her own apartment," she captioned a photo of them sitting on a stoop in April 2021.

A few episodes later, Hailey proposed to Jay and they went on to marry in the season 9 finale.

When Soffer eventually exited the show at the start of season 10 in 2022, with his character leaving the police department to return to the military, Jay and Hailey called it quits.

While it didn't work out on-screen, Soffer and Spiridakos' romance has reportedly continued after the cameras stopped rolling.

"I guess the word is out...Jesse, what can I say, you’re the absolute best," she wrote on Instagram in August 2022. "Thank you for your kindness, your guidance and your friendship."

Spiridakos continued, "You’re the greatest onscreen husband a girl could ask for. I’ll miss being on set with you every day. I can’t wait to see what the world has in store for you next."

Though he left the drama as an actor, Soffer returned the following season to make his directorial debut in March 2023. He contributed a few episodes, including one for season 11, which Spiridakos helped promote.

"I got to watch Tracy’s last episode of Chicago PD (airing tonight) and she’s FANTASTIC in it! :) you should all go check it out!" he wrote.
