Maria Baez Was Introduced in Season 3 of ‘Blue Bloods’
Baez was introduced to Blue Bloods viewers in season 3 as a guest star before she became Danny’s partner in season 4. He had known her for a long time before that. She and Danny, whose bond grew stronger each season, later received the Medal of Valor after putting their lives on the line in a drug raid.
“I heard that nobody from Elena’s family came forward to adopt that beautiful little baby,” Danny told Baez while she was holding the baby at the hospital. “I also heard that one of the heroic detectives who caught the guy who killed her mommy did come forward to adopt that beautiful baby.”
“Yeah,” Baez told Danny, to which he responded, “Well, she’s very lucky because you’re going to make one hell of a mom.”
“I hope so,” Baez said. “I never thought that I wanted kids, but after seeing her, I just couldn’t stop thinking about her.”
“If you need anything, ever, I’m here for you,” Danny told her.
Throughout the seasons, the pair had many more touching and chemistry-filled moments, including saving each other’s lives. But, as the show neared season 14, things stayed strictly platonic between them. As the 14th and final began airing in February 2024, many took to social media to express their desire for Danny and Baez to give romance a go.
