Reem Amara, born September 25, 1995, in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has carved a unique path as an Arab-American actress, model, and photographer. Known for her brief but memorable cameo on Chicago P.D. and her relationship with the show’s star, Patrick John Flueger, Reem has captured attention with her talent and global upbringing.
At 29 years old as of May 22, 2025, she holds dual citizenship in Jordan and the U.S., reflecting her diverse roots across five countries. Represented by Corner Booth Entertainment and The Rock Agency, Reem’s work spans acting, modeling, and photography, making her a rising star in 2025’s entertainment scene.
Early Life Across Continents
Reem was born in Dubai to Humam Amara and Carolyn Lena Mickley, the youngest of five siblings. Her childhood unfolded across the U.S., Jordan, Egypt, UAE, and Iraq, before her family settled in Chicago, Illinois. This global upbringing shaped her worldview, as seen in her Instagram bio listing Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York as her homes. Tragedy struck in 2009 when her mother passed from stage four colon cancer, a loss Reem often honors on social media. From a young age, she dreamed of acting, creating homemade plays with her brothers, a passion her mother supported before her passing.
Building a Career in Acting and Modeling
Reem moved to Los Angeles in 2019 to pursue acting, landing roles in short films like Midland: Drinkin’ Problem (2017), Modulation Nowhere (2019), and Written By, as well as the 2023 film Hidden Exposure. Her most notable appearance came in 2020 on Chicago P.D. Season 7, Episode 14 ("Center Mass"), where she played an ICU nurse in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo. Fans recognized her as Flueger’s real-life partner, and he celebrated her role on Instagram, playfully noting, “Does anybody know who played the hot nurse on last night’s episode?” Beyond acting, Reem models for The Rock Agency and showcases her photography talent, often sharing 35mm film shots of her travels and Flueger.
