Publish date: 2024-03-24

Some people get famous for their works, whereas some get fame through their relationships with renowned people. The latter is the case for Lilian Matsuda, who is a marketing manager from the United States but is best known as Nick Gehlfuss‘ wife.

Gehlfuss is an American actor best known for his roles in the Chicago franchise series Chicago Med as Dr. Will Halstead and in Shameless as Robbie Pratt.

As for Gehlfuss and Matsuda’s relationship, they officially began dating in 2013. As time passed, their bond became stronger, and after two years of dating, they decided to take a further step in their relationship and got engaged.

Being content with their relationship, they decided to unify around one year after getting engaged. They married on May 13, 2016, in a private but lavish ceremony held in Ohio. They took two days to enjoy their marriage and only posted about it on May 15.

Later, on May 17, the couple finally went public, revealing a few details about their wedding to People magazine. He stated that he wanted to invite his cast members but would also have had to invite the entire Chicago franchise.

He stated, “I wanted to invite a lot of my cast mates, but because we’re a franchise, I would have had to invite the entire Chicago franchise. I started on P.D., and I went to Fire, and now with Justice, it would have been crazy.”

He continued, “It rained that day in the morning, which is good luck. And then it was perfect after that. And it was on Friday the 13th, and the next day it dropped twenty degrees and then Sunday, blizzard, snowing on the way here.”

As he went on, he also talked a bit about their honeymoon. He said that their honeymoon was supposed to be abroad, but they spent the first few days promoting his show. And as Matsuda is half-Japanese on her father’s side, Japan was one of their planned destinations.

“Besides the one we’re having right now, we’re going to go to Japan probably at some point,” Gehlfuss added. As of 2023, the happily married couple has been in a marital relationship for more than seven years.

Since their wedding, Matsuda and Gehlfuss’s relationship has only gotten stronger. And what connects them more, besides their eternal love for each other, is their mutual passion for philanthropy and advocacy work.

Matsuda has been a passionate advocate for many things. Her Instagram handle even has a call to action option which redirects to different causes and movements, including Stop Asian Hate and Black Lives Matter.

Her husband has also been advocating for various anti-hate campaigns and raising awareness for violence against women. For instance, on March 20, 2021, he reposted an Instagram post initially made by his spouse, where he openly advocated the Stop Asian Hate campaign.

In the reposted Instagram post, he added a short caption of his own as he wrote, “Proud to repost on behalf of my spectacular Japanese American wife, Lilian Matsuda. Within it is part of her story. Please read.”

Moreover, their bond has also been made stronger through their understanding of each other’s professional work. And Matsuda has been excellent on that part, as she recently revealed that she agreed to move to the country so that her husband could be on Chicago Med.

On Thursday, May 25, 2023, Matsuda shared a series of pictures of Gehlfuss from the sets of Chicago Med and wrote a heartfelt caption where she first congratulated her life partner and then expressed how proud she is of him.

“Congrats to you. We moved across the country for this job eight years ago, and it has been a wild ride. You work so hard. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for being you. Love you so much @nickgehlfuss,” she wrote in her caption.

Nick Gehlfuss and Lilian Matsuda are parents to one child

Apart from being a happy couple, Gehlfuss and Matsuda are also proud parents of a baby. However, the details about their baby, such as the baby’s name and baby’s gender, are yet to be revealed by the married couple.

Matsuda first made her pregnancy announcement via her Instagram handle on April 14, 2021. She posted a mirror selfie, proudly showing off her baby bump and tagging her husband. “Dose 1 and we’ve been feeling great,” she captioned her post.

The couple marked their 5th wedding anniversary on May 14, 2021, when Matsuda shared a picture of herself and Gehlfuss standing together at a wooden bridge, with Matsuda’s baby bump visible. She wrote, “Happy weekend from us three and this here bridge #fiveyears.”

More pictures of Matsuda flaunting her baby bump were shared by her via her Instagram handle. Later, on June 13, 2021, she uploaded a few photos from a live Columbus Symphony concert she and her spouse attended and addressed their soon-to-be-born baby in the caption.

She wrote, “Dear Bebe, you will be very loved by this family. Hope you enjoyed your first live concert. thanks, fam, for making this a great weekend.”

After that, there were no further updates about the duo’s baby until December 14, 2021, when she made another Instagram post, subtly announcing she had given birth to her and Gehlfuss’ first child.

Through the same post, she also paid tribute to her late mother and mentioned how much she and her baby missed her at Christmas. Matsuda wrote, “I believe my baby would laugh if you laughed. I’ll do my best to be as patient as you were.”

As they attended a few red-carpet events together in January 2022, the couple only had a brief break from their newborn. Matsuda even mentioned parents’ night out in a few of his posts.

Following that, it seems Matsuda chose the decision to keep her child’s details private, as there have been fewer and fewer posts where she has featured her baby. The last time she featured her baby was during the 2023 Mother’s Day on May 15, 2023.

On that day, she posted a picture of her baby resting in Gehlfuss’ chest and wrote a lengthy caption. She first wrote, “Happy belated Mother’s Day to those who are missing mamas no longer with us. The day kinda sucks, but we get through it.”

“Or maybe your relationship with your mom is a hard one, and this day is still kinda weird. Some of us are still celebrating our survival of postpartum depression without breaking all the glass in our house,” she added.
