Chicago Fire’s Miranda Rae Mayo Says Stella Will Be Bad Cop Parent
Chicago Fire’s Stella Kidd and Kelly Severide don’t have a child yet, but actress Miranda Rae May already has an idea of how they’ll parent.
“I do think Stella would be the bad cop for sure,” Mayo, 34, who plays firefighter Kiddexclusively told Us Weekly while promoting season 13 of the NBC series.
She teased, “I think Kelly presents a stoic (exterior), but he would melt whenever his offspring was asking for something of him. He’d be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stella just give it to him.’”
At the end of season 12 of Chicago FireSeveride (Taylor Kinney) told Kidd he was ready to start a family, which took her by surprise.
Chicago Fire has been filled with red-hot romances throughout its run, but nothing compares to Kelly Severide’s relationship with Stella Kidd. When fans first met Kelly (played by Taylor Kinney), he was a rough and tough firefighter who was known for being a ladies’ man. However, the arrival of Stella (Miranda Rae Mayo) in season 4 (…)
During season 13, which premiered in September 2024Kidd revealed that she wants to be a mom and proposed going the adoption route since her aunt basically adopted and raised her as a kid.
“Stella is in love with Kelly. I don’t think she ever was a woman who wanted to be married. I don’t think she ever envisioned that type of, you know, wife and kids type of life for herself,” Mayo told Usnoting that Kidd’s relationship with Severide is what swayed her to change her tune.
Dick Wolf’s characters on Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med are intertwined on a variety of levels, including siblings, marriages and failed romances. Fans got a taste for the crossover connections within the One Chicago universe early on with Chicago Fire’s Gabby Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Chicago P.D.’s Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda).

The actress explained, “She met this man and fell in love with this man and was like, ‘Hey, wherever you’re going, I’m going.’ We’re doing it together.”
Miranda Rae Mayo as Stella Kidd
Peter Gordon/NBCWhile Mayo noted that Severide brought up the idea of expanding their family “much sooner” than Kidd was initially ready for, they have since gotten on the same page.
During season 13, episode 15, which aired on March 5, Kidd and Severide met with an adoption agency and, after a few hiccups at Firehouse 51, they were approved. It’s unclear whether the couple will become parents this season but, until then, Mayo told Us she’s enjoying the ride acting alongside Kinney, 43.
“I love working with him. My experience of working with Taylor is he’s a very present person,” Mayo revealed. “When we’re doing (a scene), I think neither one of us ever really knows what’s gonna happen.”
Romances have run high in the Windy City since Chicago Fire’s 2012 debut and the addition of Chicago P.D. in 2014 and Chicago Med in 2015. Whether you spent years pining over Casey and Dawson and were heartbroken when they divorced, or you counted down to Natalie and Will’s wedding only to be heartbroken by (…)
She said after 10 seasons together they have “a lot of fun.” (Mayo joined Chicago Fire during season 4 in 2016, while Kinney has been part of the series since its 2012 premiere.)
Mayo added, “Sometimes it just works. I feel really lucky to be in this duo with him and I’m really grateful that it works and that it continues to work.”
Chicago Fire returns with new episodes on NBC Wednesday, March 26, at 9 p.m. ET.
