family, forming close bonds with the stars of Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D.,
and Chicago Med. While Taylor has been captivating audiences as Lieutenant Kelly Severide for the past 13 years, Ashley has been right by his side, supporting him every step of the way.
The couple, who tied the knot last year in a surprise wedding after dating for two years, continue to share special moments with Taylor’s co-stars. A recent snapshot proves just
how well Ashley fits in with the One Chicago crew.
On Monday, Chicago P.D. star Marina Squerciati (Detective Kim Burgess) took to Instagram to share a collection of candid moments from a fun-filled girls’ night. The gathering included several of the franchise’s beloved actresses, along with Ashley and Reem Amara, the girlfriend of Chicago P.D. star Patrick Flueger (Adam Ruzek).
The images captured a night full of laughter, good food, and great company. The women were seen enjoying cocktails, indulging in sushi, and treating themselves to a delicious spread of brownies and other baked goods. The relaxed and joyful atmosphere of the evening was evident in every shot.
Marina captioned the post with heartfelt words: “Great women. Great food. Great wine. Great night.” She also emphasized the authenticity of the night, adding, “These photos are blurry and not ‘IG perfect.’ Just friends having fun.”
Among the familiar faces at the gathering were Law & Order alum S. Epatha Merkerson, along with Jessy Schram, Toya Turner, Miranda Rae Mayo, Sarah Ramos, and Jocelyn Hudon. The close-knit group showcased the deep friendships that have formed among the One Chicago cast members, making it clear that their connection extends far beyond the set.
Fans were quick to flood the comments section with enthusiasm, expressing how much they adored seeing their favorite actresses spending time together. One fan eagerly wrote, “I want to be at this party,” while others chimed in with messages like, “My favorite girls! I hope y’all are having fun!!” and “I love that these women seem to get along so well!” Many also gushed over the heartfelt and genuine nature of the night, calling it “beautiful” and “amazing.”
Ashley and Taylor’s relationship has been in the spotlight since they first made their romance public in 2022. Ashley’s debut on Taylor’s Instagram came in March of that year, when he posted a playful shot of her giving him a stern look while getting her nails done. Just a month later, she made her own public statement by sharing a picture of the two attending a race at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.
Their love story continued to make headlines when they attended Operation Smile’s 10th Annual Park City Ski Challenge in April 2022, marking their first major public event as a couple. They posed for plenty of affectionate snapshots at the charity event, showcasing their strong bond.
Nearly a year has passed since their surprise nuptials on April 30 of last year, and Ashley has seamlessly blended into Taylor’s world. With her growing friendships among the One Chicago stars, it’s clear that she’s not just Taylor’s biggest supporter—she’s also a cherished member of the One Chicago family.
