Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton may now be divorced, but things are far more amicable between the two “Chicago P.D.” actors in real life. It was recently confirmed that stars Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos have been in a relationship for a while. Soffer left the show in Season 10, and Spiridakos will soon follow suit, leaving the show after Season 11. With the divorce papers now filed, it appears the books are closed for good on Upstead, but could Halstead return for some closure?
Jay Halstead had been part of “Chicago P.D.” since the very beginning, so, naturally, his departure was tough on fans. While divorce would seem to put a pin on the character wanting to return to Chicago, Soffer has previously stated his thoughts on Halstead coming back. In a different 2023 interview with CinemaBlend, the actor said, “It’s nice knowing that he’s still so loved in the universe, but it’s not up to me whether or not he comes back.”
There are plenty of other storylines for writers to delve into besides a Halstead return, including navigating Upton’s emotional state post-divorce. Gwen Sigan told Hello! about wanting to explore new sides of her in her final episodes. “We’re really going to dig into that this season, and dig into growth and transformation,” Sigan elaborated. “How do you get through your life not looking like what you thought it was going to look like, and realizing that there could be more out there that is maybe better for you?” Whatever’s next for Upton, she’ll have to go through it sans Jason.
