It turns out Ashley Cruger made a small appearance on the first episode of “Chicago Fire” Season 11, titled “Hold on Tight,” which aired in September 2022. Cruger, who’s since made her account private, confirmed her appearance on Twitter and hinted it was her loving boyfriend who got her the opportunity, writing, “First episode of ‘Chicago Fire’ aired last night and I got to sneak on. Ily @taylorkinney111.” Cruger isn’t officially credited for the role and her character doesn’t have an official name, though the scene happened towards the end of the episode and saw her inside Molly’s Pub celebrating with some of the firefighters. One person she didn’t interact with, though? Taylor Kinney’s character, Lieutenant Kelly Severide.

Kinney’s sweet gesture for his girlfriend proves he has no problem sharing the spotlight, which is probably no surprise seeing as he was always so conscious of letting his ex have her moment. Lady Gaga admitted back in 2016 prior to their split that Kinney actually turned down a presenting role at the Golden Globes in order to let her shine (the star won in the Best Performance in a Miniseries or Television Film category for her work on “American Horror Story: Hotel”). “Do you want to know something wonderful? They asked him to present tonight but he said no because he just wanted it to be my night and he wanted to support me. Isn’t that special?” she gushed to People.
