Chicago Fire Season 13 Officially Makes Stellaride’s Headcanon Canon 🚒🔥

Chicago Fire season 13 has taken a huge step forward with the beloved couple Kelly Severide (played by Taylor Kinney) and Stella Kidd (played by Miranda Rae Mayo), addressing a major fan theory that fans have been dreaming about for years. After seasons of will-they-won’t-they moments, heartwarming love, and near-death experiences, Severide and Kidd’s relationship has finally come full circle, and Chicago Fire is making it official.

Stellaride’s Next Big Step

Severide and Kidd have come a long way since the firehouse’s beloved couple first came together in season 4. As the show has progressed, so has their relationship, which has now reached a new, exciting chapter. In the back half of Chicago Fire season 13, the couple is considering growing their family by exploring adoption. In episode 13, titled “Born of Fire,” the couple takes a big step forward in their journey, agreeing to contact an adoption agency by the episode’s end.

For long-time fans, the idea of Stellaride adopting a child has always been a much-loved headcanon. However, the show officially acknowledges this possibility, cementing it as a real storyline. What fans didn’t expect, though, was how the show would finally address the long-standing fan-favorite couple nickname: “Stellaride.”

The Moment Fans Have Been Waiting For

In a heartwarming exchange between Stella Kidd and Violet Mikami (played by Hanako Greensmith), fans are treated to a moment that makes Stellaride’s ship name canon. When Kidd shares with Violet that she and Severide are considering adoption, Violet, full of excitement, refers to the couple as “Stellaride,” saying, “Wow, a Stellaride baby.”

For those who might not know, “Stellaride” is the couple’s fan-created ship name, derived by combining Severide and Kidd’s names. It’s a term that has been used by fans to refer to the couple in a cute and catchy way. However, the moment that Violet uses the term in the show brings it to life in the One Chicago universe, making it official within the canon. This may seem like a small detail, but it is an incredibly significant moment for fans who have been waiting for this acknowledgment for years.

What This Means for Severide and Kidd’s Future

By incorporating “Stellaride” into the storyline, Chicago Fire is showing that the writers and producers are listening to the fans. This acknowledgment of their ship name signals that the show is not just giving us what we want, but it also highlights a shift in the couple’s future direction. The constant obstacles and hardships that have plagued Severide and Kidd’s relationship for seasons may finally be behind them.

With the couple now discussing starting a family, fans can hope that Chicago Fire will continue to deliver on the promises made in this season. This could also mean that the ongoing drama surrounding their lives will start to focus more on their growth as a family unit rather than the constant tension and heartbreak that often surrounds them. And for fans who have been rooting for this moment for years, the inclusion of the ship name in the show feels like a small victory, showing the writers are paying attention to the fans who have supported the couple from the very beginning.

The Writers Are Listening

The recognition of “Stellaride” as a canon ship name isn’t just a nod to fan culture—it’s a sign that the writers understand the deep investment that fans have in Severide and Kidd’s relationship. In addition to the adoption storyline, this shows a commitment to making the couple’s future a more positive and fulfilling one. After so many years of overcoming hurdles, the idea of the couple settling down and becoming parents is a perfect next step for them, and fans are more than ready to see them navigate this new chapter together.

With the possibility of Severide and Kidd becoming parents soon, Chicago Fire fans can look forward to a heartwarming and exciting future for the couple. Here’s hoping this marks the beginning of a new, more optimistic era for Stellaride on One Chicago!
