Boden's Brood: A Burning Question
So, you're wondering how many kids Chief Wallace Boden, the undisputed king of Firehouse 51, has, huh? Well, buckle up, because this is a question that has ignited more debates than a five-alarm blaze!
Boden: The Firehouse Father Figure
Boden, the steady hand guiding the chaos of Firehouse 51, is often seen as the paternal figure to his crew. But let's clear something up right away: Boden doesn't have a biological kid running around the firehouse. No mini-Bodens, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective).
Boden's Family Tree: A Simpler Affair
While Boden might not have biological kids, his family life is far from barren. He’s been married a couple of times, which means stepkids and ex-wives. Let's break it down:
- Shonda: Boden's first wife, who owns a pancake house (seriously, who knew firefighters had such good taste in breakfast spots?). They had a stepson together, James.
- Donna: Boden's current wife, a sweet elementary school teacher. Together, they have a son named Terrence.
So, to answer your burning question: Boden has one biological son, Terrence, and one stepson, James. That makes two kids in total.
Boden: The Firehouse Dad
While Boden might not have a house full of kids of his own, he certainly has a house full of kids he looks after. From Severide to Kidd, the entire Firehouse 51 crew looks to him for guidance, support, and the occasional tough love. In a way, the entire firehouse is Boden's extended family.
So, while Boden might not be a biological dad, he's definitely the ultimate firehouse father figure.
