Chicago Fire Season 13 Acknowledges A Prominent Severide & Kidd Headcanon & Makes It Official

Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd’s relationship is changing in Chicago Fire season 13, seemingly calling for the show to finally address one major headcanon concerning the fan-favorite couple. The NBC procedural drama has featured numerous Firehouse 51 romances over the years. However, the most popular and successful love story undoubtedly belongs to Severide and Kidd, whose relationship began when Kidd transferred to the fire station in season 4. They have come a long way since then, as they are now married and thinking about growing their family.

In the back half of Chicago Fire season 13, Severide and Kidd have been mulling over the idea of adoption. By the end of episode 13, the couple agrees to call an adoption agency. So, the possibility of Severide and Kidd becoming parents is becoming more and more real with every episode that passes. While taking the next step in their marriage is exciting, one specific Severide and Kidd headcanon from fans coming true in Chicago Fire season 13, episode 13 makes it all the better.

Chicago Fire Season 13, Episode 13 Makes Stellaride Official Canon

Violet Is The First Character To Say “Stellaride” In The Show

At the beginning of “Born of Fire,” Kidd tells Violet Mikami about her and Severide thinking about adopting a child. Violet is over the moon for her friends, of course. She comments, “Wow, a Stellaride baby.” Kidd, confused, asks her what she means by “Stellaride.” According to Violet, that is what every Chicago Fire season 13 character calls the couple.

“Stellaride” is Severide and Kidd’s couple name outside the NBC show. Almost all fictional characters (and celebrities), either in a relationship or who fans want to see in a relationship, are given a “ship name,” created by combining their two names. So, Severide and Kidd’s is “Stellaride.” After almost 10 seasons, Chicago Fire has finally acknowledged the name that fans have dubbed the couple, making it canon within the One Chicago universe.

The Writers Are Listening To Fans

Since Chicago Fire season 13, episode 13 recognizes Severide and Kidd’s ship name, it’s clear that the writers and producers are listening to fans. So, this headcanon becoming canon suggests the show could continue giving the people what they want. Perhaps instead of continuously torturing Severide and Kidd by throwing so many obstacles their way, the married couple can finally be happy moving forward (something many viewers are desperate for). Hopefully, this means Kidd and Severide’s Chicago Fire season 13 baby story will end with them actually becoming parents.
