Brittany Baker, the character from “Chicago Fire,” was Severide’s wife for a short period. They eventually divorced, and she left the show.
Brittany Baker, portrayed by actress Serinda Swan, was introduced in Season 3 of “Chicago Fire” as a love interest for Kelly Severide, one of the main characters. The two met in Las Vegas and had a whirlwind romance that quickly led to marriage. However, their relationship was rooted in shared grief rather than genuine compatibility; both were trying to escape painful memories of lost loved ones.
As the season progressed, it became clear that their impulsive decision to marry wasn’t going to result in a lasting relationship. Brittany was struggling with the death of her sister, and Severide was dealing with his own emotional issues. Their marriage provided a temporary solace, but it wasn’t a sustainable solution for either of them.
In the show, their marriage came to a mutual and amicable end when Brittany realized that she needed to go back home to face her past rather than continue to run from it. Her departure allowed Severide to refocus on his life in Chicago and his duties at the firehouse. Brittany’s exit from the series was handled in a way that left the door open for her character to return in the future, but as of the knowledge cutoff in 2023, she has not reappeared on the show.
