A New Chapter in Boston
As fans say goodbye to the long-running series Blue Bloods, a new chapter begins with Boston Blue. The spinoff follows Detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) after he transfers from New York to Boston, where he’s joined by a new partner, Lena Silver, played by Sonequa Martin-Green. While their on-screen lives are filled with crime and conflict, the off-screen romances of the cast are a different story entirely.
Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy: A Decade of Devotion
On-screen, Danny Reagan tragically lost his wife, Linda. In reality, Donnie Wahlberg’s love life has been thriving for over a decade. He and actress Jenny McCarthy married in 2014 after meeting on Watch What Happens Live in 2012. Their secret to a lasting marriage? Surprise vow renewals every single year.
“I’ll round a corner, and I’m in sweatpants and my hair [undone] and no makeup, and then there’s the pastor and a violinist … he’ll surprise me every year,” McCarthy revealed. After 10 years, the tradition continues. McCarthy has been a vocal supporter of Wahlberg’s return to the role of Reagan, sharing on Instagram how proud she is of his “fun next chapter.”
Sonequa Martin-Green and Kenric Green: Partners On and Off Screen
Danny’s new partner, Lena Silver, is played by Sonequa Martin-Green, whose real-life partner is fellow actor Kenric Green. The couple met in 2009 during a theater production and married the following year. Fans of The Walking Dead will recognize them from their time working together on the show, where she played Sasha Williams and he portrayed Scott. The parents of two told PEOPLE that they keep their 15-year marriage strong by “recommitting [themselves] daily,” adapting to the changes that life brings.
Familiar Faces and Their Families
Bridget Moynahan and Andrew Frankel
Bridget Moynahan reprises her role as Danny’s sister, Erin Reagan, for a guest appearance in the new series. While her character’s love life has always been complicated, Moynahan’s has been a picture of stability. She married businessman Andrew Frankel in 2015, whom she has described as the “nicest guy ever.” Together, they share a blended family, including her son Jack (with ex Tom Brady) and Frankel’s three sons from a previous relationship.
More Love in the Precinct
The supporting cast is also surrounded by love. Ernie Hudson, who plays Reverend Edwin Peters, has been married to his wife, Linda Kingsberg, since 1985. Meanwhile, Black-ish alum Marcus Scribner, who joins the show as rookie cop Jonah Silver, stunned fans by quietly announcing his engagement in a September 2025 Instagram post, showcasing a unique diamond ring on his fiancée’s hand.
