In a plot twist straight out of a romantic drama, Chicago Fire fans were left stunned as Jake Lockett — the beloved actor behind firefighter Sam Carver — revealed he has quietly tied the knot! While his on-screen presence ended in Season 13, Lockett is now taking center stage in real life, eloping with actress Dominique Domingo in a breathtaking ceremony that took place far from the flashing lights of Hollywood.

The newlyweds exchanged vows on June 18 in a secluded cove near Kalihiwai Falls in Kauai, Hawaii. Their private ceremony, kept under wraps until now, unfolded in lush tropical surroundings, offering a raw, organic celebration that defied the glitz and glam of typical celebrity weddings. With just their parents, a photographer, and a videographer in attendance, Lockett and Domingo proved that less truly can be more when it comes to love.

The reveal came via Lockett’s Instagram on July 3, sending fans into a frenzy of joy and surprise. In the photos, the couple radiates pure happiness — Lockett, barefoot and beaming, and Domingo, ethereal in a flowing white gown, framed by the vibrant greenery of their dreamlike setting.

Domingo later shared in an interview that the couple let “Mother Nature handle the décor,” opting for simplicity and emotional intimacy over extravagance. The ceremony was designed to be about connection, not spectacle — a decision that underscores the couple’s commitment to prioritizing each other above all else.

Reactions from the One Chicago universe poured in fast. Former co-star Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter) led the digital celebration with an enthusiastic “Woooooo!!! Congrats!” Other fan favorites including Ser’Darius Blain, Jimmy Nicholas, and Caitlin Carver followed suit, proving that while some characters may exit the show, the bond among the cast remains strong.

For fans of Chicago Fire, this off-screen romance brings a sweet sense of closure after Lockett’s departure. Though Carver may have left Firehouse 51, the actor’s real-life storyline is clearly heating up. With his marriage to Domingo, who is making waves in her own right with a major role in The Accountant 2, the couple now embarks on a new chapter that’s full of promise.

While no professional announcements have been made about what’s next for Lockett’s career, it’s clear he’s basking in newlywed bliss — and likely planning a serene honeymoon to match the tranquil magic of his wedding.

In an entertainment industry often overwhelmed by spectacle and drama, Jake Lockett and Dominique Domingo have chosen a quieter path, rich in love and authenticity. Their Hawaiian elopement is a rare and refreshing glimpse into what happens when stars step away from the spotlight — and let love write the script.
