Feeling the Heat: Ranking Severide's Top 5 Love Affairs on Chicago Fire
The show's biggest heartthrob had quite a few affairs before his marriage.
A decade after its launch, Dick Wolf's Chicago franchise remains one of the most successful projects currently on the air, thanks to the addictive mix of personal and professional lives of Chicago's first responders.
Fans love following the stories of the well-written characters that populate the series, and Chicago Fire's Kelly Severide is probably the most popular of all.
Severide had spent a lot of time on the show with various romantic interests before he finally tied the knot with Stella Kidd in the Season 10 finale. We decided to rank the heartthrob's exes from the most despicable to the most adorable.
Here are our Top 5 picks.
5. Renée Royce
This ex-girlfriend of Severide's reappeared some time after their breakup, claiming that she got pregnant by the fireman. Naturally, Renée is hated by all Severide fans, who accuse her of tricking the man into believing he was the father of the baby. Fortunately, the paternity test results soon came in, and Severide cut Renée out of his life.
4. April Sexton
The Chicago Med character and Severide knew each other since they were children, so when the two decided to go on a date together, the fandom saw this as a sign of a greater love arc to come. However, the couple broke up pretty quickly — even though April is a great person, she just wasn't a good match for Severide.
3. Brittany Baker
Severide and Brittany's drunken marriage in Las Vegas after knowing each other for less than a day did not seem like a good idea from the start, but the couple was actually quite happy with each other. The problem was, Brittany didn't want to be married to a firefighter because she was afraid that her husband might die, so she decided to leave Severide.
2. Erin Lindsay
Severide and Chicago P.D.'s Erin seemed like the perfect couple at the beginning of their affair, but Leslie Shay's death affected the firefighter so much that he began to haunt Erin, forcing her to break up with him.
1. Anna Turner
Of all the short-term affairs Severide got into, his relationship with Anna was the most heartbreaking. They met when Severide decided to donate his bone marrow to her to help her fight a leukemia diagnosis. The couple began dating, but Anna's condition worsened and she succumbed to her illness, with Severide by her side until the end.
