Joe Minoso told “The Jam TV Show” that he first met Caitlin Murphy Miles when she was working as a makeup artist on Season 2 of “Chicago Fire,” which aired from 2013 to 2014. By October 2016, the lovebirds were husband and wife. “OK.. honestly you tell me. How do I NOT Marry this woman!” Minoso captioned an Instagram photo of himself and his bride posing in front of one of Chicago’s firehouses.
In his appearance on “The Jam TV Show,” Minoso revealed that their wedding officiant was his “Chicago Fire” co-star Christian Stolte, who was given free rein to do as he wished during the ceremony. “So we had no idea of what to expect of our own wedding,” Minoso said. Two of his other multi-talented castmates, Miranda Rae Mayo and Jesse Spencer, also participated in the ceremony by playing stringed instruments.
Miles occasionally mentions members of the “Chicago Fire” cast on Instagram. After Yuriy Sardarov’s character, Otis, was killed off in 2019, she wrote, “Yuriy was the first person to befriend me when I came to Chicago and didn’t know anyone else. He’s one of the kindest, funniest, & most thoughtful people I’ve ever come across.” She also revealed that she approves of Minoso’s on-screen wife. In an interview with “Meet Us at Molly’s,” Minoso described his “Chicago Fire” nuptials as “surreal” because so many of the same people had attended his real-life wedding.
