Hmmm. Chicago P.D. fans are abuzz after former co-stars Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos shared pictures from their recent European vacation. The pair, who portrayed detectives Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton on the popular NBC series, had long been favorites of viewers, who affectionately named their on-screen relationship “Upstead.”
With Jesse Lee Soffer having left the show in Season 10 and Spiridakos exiting at the end of Season 11, rumors of a potential off-screen romance between the two have been circulating. Their recent Instagram posts have only added to the speculation.
