Do You Remember These Pivotal Relationship Moments On Criminal Minds?

Will LaMontagne worked as a detective in the French Quarter when he and Jennifer Jareau first met. After catching a serial killer and wrapping up a case, JJ slipped him her phone number. It’s safe to say that things took off well from there!

In Season 9, Derek Morgan and his girlfriend Savannah missed their Valentine’s Day dinner reservation and ran into Penelope Garcia, who was out with her boyfriend Sam.

The pairs crossed paths outside of a diner that Sam claimed had "the best milkshakes in town." And so the BAU members had their first double date!

During Season 4, JJ announced that she was pregnant. She mostly worked from the office instead of traveling and when the team returned from a particularly tough case in Texas, they were greeted with news that Henry had arrived!

In Season 8, Dr. Spencer Reid began a relationship with a woman named Maeve, whom he had never met in person because she lived in fear of a stalker. This star-crossed relationship came to an abrupt—and tragic—end when Maeve was kidnapped by a deranged ex-student of hers.

The team raced to help Spencer find her, but they didn’t make it in time. Despite all of their efforts, Maeve’s student committed a murder-suicide right in front of them.

After nearly losing Will and Henry at the end of Season 7, JJ decided that she wanted to get married. Will—with a little help from the rest of the BAU team—threw a surprise wedding at David Rossi’s palatial home. Henry even served as the ring bearer!

At first, David Rossi was hesitant to start a relationship with his long-lost adult daughter Joy, but he quickly realized that this was his chance to finally have a family.

Over the past season, their relationship has grown exponentially—making Rossi both a loving father and a loving grandfather to Joy’s son Kai.

 

At the end of Season 10, Spencer caught JJ eating saltines in the office, prompting her to divulge that she was expecting. We were then so excited to see her return to the BAU midseason—and to see adorable photos of her new baby boy!

While being held hostage, Derek Morgan realized what was truly important to him: Savannah. Throughout his kidnappers' abuse, Derek realized that Savannah was pregnant and, once free and safe in a hospital, he promised that he would always be there for her—and their unborn child.

Derek and Savannah welcomed a beautiful baby boy, aptly named “Hank Spencer Morgan” in honor of his father and best friend, in Season 11. This pivotal moment caused Derek to rethink his life as an agent. He then left the BAU to focus on life with his growing family.

This season, we saw David Rossi rekindle a romance with his second ex-wife. He and Montgomery, a former U.S. diplomat for the French embassy, were married for only one summer in the early '80s. She attended Kai’s birthday party and the two hit it off again!
