Chicago Fire Star David Eigenberg Shares Joyful Baby News – “We’re Incredibly Blessed!”
A New Chapter Begins
Chicago Fire’s David Eigenberg, best known for playing Christopher Herrmann, has announced that he and his wife Chrysti Eigenberg are expecting another child. The beloved actor, known for portraying a loyal family man on-screen, is now celebrating big changes in his own life.
In an exclusive interview, David shared the joyful news with heartfelt emotion. “We’re incredibly blessed,” he said. “Chrysti and I have been hoping for this moment, and now it’s finally here.”
Excitement at Home
David and Chrysti, who already have one son, are preparing to welcome a second child. While the baby’s gender hasn’t been revealed, the couple is focused on the joy — and the challenge — of raising two kids.
“It’s going to be a different dynamic,” David admitted, “but we’re ready. Watching our son grow has been amazing, and we know this next little one will bring just as much love and change.”
Family means everything to David, both on-screen and off. As Herrmann, he plays a father figure to many at Firehouse 51. In real life, he brings that same sense of warmth and humor to his home life.
Balancing Work and Parenthood
With Chicago Fire continuing to thrive, David stays busy — but he’s committed to keeping his family front and center.
“It’s a balancing act,” he said. “But my family always comes first. Even with long shooting days, I find time to be there. I’m grateful for that.”
His wife Chrysti, an interior designer, has been a constant source of support. The couple has been married for nearly a decade, sharing a strong partnership away from the spotlight.
Fans Celebrate With Him
As Chicago Fire keeps fans on edge with dramatic episodes, David is embracing a new, deeply personal role — becoming a father again.
“The fans have always stood by me,” he added. “Their support is a huge part of my journey, and I can’t wait to share this next chapter with them.”
Though filming continues, David hinted that both Herrmann’s storylines and his own life are evolving in exciting ways.
What’s Next?
As David and Chrysti prepare for their baby’s arrival, the Chicago Fire star is looking ahead with gratitude and excitement.
“I had no idea this year would bring so much change,” David said. “But this feels like the perfect time. We’re ready — and we’re thankful.”
Fans across the globe are cheering on David and his growing family. With love, laughter, and new beginnings on the horizon, 2026 is already shaping up to be one of his most memorable years yet.
