Chicago P.D.’s skilled detectives are the heart of the show — but the complex romance between Kim Burgess and Adam Ruzek is what keeps many fans coming back.
Viewers first saw sparks fly between Burgess (Marina Squerciati) and Ruzek (Patrick Flueger) during season 1, episode 8, when Ruzek was in another relationship.
“This is complete horses—t,” Ruzek quipped in the episode while on crossing guard duty with Burgess, who insisted he was “doing it wrong.” Demonstrating the right way to navigate traffic, she told him, “You gotta get your hips into it … like this.”
Ruzek got a big grin on his face and responded, “You’re kind of full of it you know that?” Burgess smiled, “Am I? Or am I awesome at it.”
By season 2, the coworkers dubbed “Burzek” by fans were in a serious relationship and Ruzek popped the question. Burgess later called off the engagement but their connection remained a constant ahead of Ruzek’s latest proposal in season 11.
