Patrick Flueger has never forgotten where it all began — Red Wing, Minnesota, where his love for storytelling first took root on stage in Evergreen: A Christmas Story. Long before the bright lights of Hollywood, he was a small-town dreamer with big ambition and a deep appreciation for the past.
A self-proclaimed history geek, Patrick often shares his fascination with historical places and stories, connecting with fans over the timeless lessons they hold. It’s that same depth and curiosity that make his performances — especially as Adam Ruzek on Chicago P.D. — feel so authentic and human.
Despite his success, Patrick has remained fiercely private, cherishing life away from the cameras. He’s been in a loving relationship with actress and model Reem Amara since 2019, and together they’ve built a quiet life grounded in love and mutual respect.
Recently, Patrick announced a temporary leave from Chicago P.D. to focus on personal matters — a heartfelt reminder that even those who play heroes on-screen need moments of reflection and renewal.
❤️ Sometimes, stepping back is the most powerful way to move forward.
