Marina Squerciati is ringing in the new year with a big surprise – she had a baby! In a new social media post the Chicago P.D. reveals she became a mom in 2024, providing photographic evidence in the form of a bikini baby pic. “2024 was a BIG year for me, literally. I thought I handled being a pregnant working mom with grace—swipe to see my daughter’s very different take (look at the face she's drawn for me). PS. THIS was the real reason I wasn't in the first two episodes of #ChicagoPD, I was having a baby. Have a great NYE, friends!” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


Strength Training

Marina revealed to Better.Net that her go-to workout is strength training. “I really love going to the gym because I have a ginormous sweet addiction. I have to keep that in check. I don’t like training lightly, I like to train hard and put all my body into it. I want to lift heavy weights. I want to do what footballers do. I go to Performance Training Systems, which a couple other cast members go to. It’s an amazing training place.”

Skiing

Marina enjoys skiing. She once joined in on a celebrity ski competition for cystic fibrosis. “Proud to stand with Colin Donnell to support finding a cure for Cystic Fibrosis with @cf_foundation & @americanair,” she captioned a post.

Self-Care

Marina indulges in self-care. “Celebrating St. Paddy's @stregischicago with a spa day + Japanese breakfast. Can't believe I used to spend ☘️ in a bar! This new way is waaaaaay bettter,” she captioned a post from a spa day.

Yoga

Marina is a yogi. For Torrey Devitto's bachelorette party, she struck a poise. “We laughed, we cried, we did arts n' crafts, yoga, s'mores by the fire... wish I was still there,” she captioned the post. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

She's Not A Night Person

Unfortunately, most of Marina’s work is done after dark. “I am not a night person. I find nights very difficult. Apparently on television, most crime happens at night. Unfortunately. I wish it could be 9 a.m. crime. Those are my peak hours. I love the mornings and coffee in the morning,” she says.
