It’s been seven years since the heartbreaking death of Danny Reagan’s wife, Linda Reagan.

Keep reading to learn more.
Blue Bloods is CBS’ long-running police procedural that follows the fictional Reagan family who have a long history with law enforcement. CBS announced in November that Blue Bloods was ending with Season 14, which will be split into two parts. The first 10 episodes premiered on February 16, 2024, while the last eight episodes will debut in the fall of 2024. The show stars Tom Selleck, Donnie Wahlberg, Will Estes, Donnie Wahlberg, Bridget Moynahan, Abigail Hawk, Vanessa Ray and more.
Danny was married to Linda Reagan, an emergency room nurse at St. Victor’s Hospital in NYC, and the mother of their two children, Jack and Sean Reagan. Unfortunately, Linda tragically died in a helicopter crash off-screen in Season 7. In the Season 8 premiere, it was revealed in Danny’s therapy session that Linda was no longer alive.
“Linda’s death wasn’t your fault. She was doing her job [as a nurse]. She died doing what she loved,” Danny’s therapist said in the episode. “She died in a helicopter crash, airlifting her patient.” In Season 9, the possibility was introduced that the medevac crash Linda was in could have been orchestrated by Mexican cartel member Louis Delgado (Lou Diamond Phillips), aka The Panther.
In Season 13, Blue Bloods finally tossed Danny back into the dating pool after losing his wife. Danny went on a date with Detective Laura Acosta (Jessica Pimentel), but their outing didn’t amount to anything. Another close figure in Danny’s life is his partner, Det. Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez), but their relationship has never crossed a romantic line. However, that could very well change in Season 14.

In Season 14, Episode 2, “Dropping Bombs,” Danny interrogates serial killer Dr. Leonard Walker (Mather Zickel), who insists on discussing the detective’s love life.
“[Linda] ’s been dead five years and you’re still not in a serious relationship with anyone. Why not?” Walker asked Danny in the episode. “No, I’m not in a serious relationship with anyone,” he responded.
