Did ‘This Is Us’ Reveal Kevin’s Future Wife?
Spoiler Alert
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Season 6, Episode 13 of This Is Us, “The Day of the Wedding.”]
This Is Us is nearing its end as only five episodes remain in the final season of NBC‘s family drama centering on the Pearsons.
And while some questions have been answered in Season 6, there are others that still remain, particularly when it comes to Kevin Pearson (Justin Hartley). As viewers have seen in a flash-forward set at the Pearson family cabin, Kevin does end up married sometime in the future, but the identity of his bride remains unclear.
In the show’s latest installment, “Day of the Wedding,” though, there are hints at three potential suitors as Kevin comes off of a series of bad relationships. After Madison (Caitlin Thompson) and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson) find a poem, bra, and shawl in Kevin’s room before Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Philip’s (Chris Geere) nuptials, they begin an investigation.

Sadly, what they uncover is little to no information as Cassidy (Jennifer Morrison), Sophie (Alexandra Breckenridge), and an unnamed wedding singer (played by Scandal alum Katie Lowes) all surface as potential suitors. Thankfully, the next installment, airing Tuesday, April 26, appears to contain some answers as it takes viewers back to “The Night Before the Wedding.”
While Madison and Beth uncovered details about Kevin’s night before the wedding, other scenes provided more insight suggesting that he spent time with Sophie, Cassidy, and the wedding singer at some point during that evening. Who could be his potential match is the question that the next episode should answer — or at least we hope.
Sure, Cassidy has been a good friend to Kevin and at times they’ve been friends with benefits, but are they destined to become man and wife? And then there’s Sophie who used to be married to Kevin and has a history with him but is married herself. While Madison and Beth are quick to dismiss the idea of Sophie cheating on her husband for Kevin, it would be an interesting plot to explore after Kevin’s infidelity during his (very young) marriage to Sophie.
Could it take cheating on someone else for Sophie to see that she’s meant to be with Kevin? It could be wishful thinking, especially considering the third option of Lowes’ wedding singer. This Is Us is all about chances and it’s not out of the realm of possibilities that a chance encounter with this singer could change the course of his life.
Will history be on Cassidy or Sophie’s side or is Kevin’s heart the wedding singer’s game to lose? After all, Lowes — most recently seen in Inventing Anna on Netflix — is a big name to cast in an unimportant role, leading us to think she may have a more significant part in Kevin’s future.
Let us know down below who you think Kevin might end up with — Sophie, Cassidy, the wedding singer, or none of the above?

Why is cheating on your husband with a man who you were once married to who cheated on you now considered ‘romantic’? I really hope they don’t put Kevin with Sophie. Ideally, have him be alone.

I was hoping it was Sophie, but I feel like it's the wedding singer. The napkin...towards the end where they show all three sophie walking, cassidy going to the room, and the wedding singer drinking but she has napkins and a pen on the table. I hope i'm wrong tho and it is sophie

I agree. I’m afraid it’s the wedding singer but I really am Team Sophie all the way and hope that the references to Princess Bride means he comes back to his true love after so many challenges.

Hmm, she has a nine month old baby with a man she's married to. . . Of course, this could all be a set up and Kevin doesn't end up with the woman he was with that night (if he was even with one of them). So it could still end up being Madison somehow in the future.

Hope it’s not the wedding singer. Just too out of left field to be believable. Nick’s wife is adorable but the match seems unlikely. And Kate and her new husband. Also a disappointment. Love the show but these new pairings seen forced. Rooting for Sophie!!!

I think Jennifer is too big a name to cast as a friend. Always thought she was long game

He marries none. The ring is for his mom, who thinks Kevin is Jack. Kevin remains alone

I think perhaps the wedding singer is writing a song at Kevin's request, for Cassidy. The lyrics on the napkin sound like they are for someone with PTSD: You shift unsteady in your seat/your sight line at the door/you sip your drink, deepen your breath/what are you waiting for? No I would never leave you lost on this unchartered ground/with just one glance I'd take my chance/and let us both be found.

I think more realistic he ends up with someone new or alone. I've seen many people hold a special place for their first love but then they marry someone else. Sometimes it's timing, circumstances or just how people change and grow.

Cassidy!! She honest to Kevin and he doesn’t make immature decisions with her and he’s honest to her. They are supportive and help each other. They listen to each other. Both have chemistry; and both single parents. They are good for each other. Unlike the other women in his life who never was honest with him.

It’s Madison and the twist is she is playing dumb so people don’t know. That’s my guess.

Me too. I was really angry they closed the door (seemingly) on Madison. She and Kevin seem perfect together. They both have sacrificed for each other and when they were together, they never fought. She is good for him. Maybe there is still hope but I guess that would mean some untimely end for Elijah. If it isn't Madison, I hope it is Cassidy.

When we first saw Nicky at Rebecca’s death bed, one theory was that Nicky was wearing a ring because Rebecca thought he was Jack.. I think this theory actually applies to Kevin. I believe that is the reason Kevin is wearing a ring at the end. Rebecca has begun to refer to him as jack ...I believe and hope that Kevin remains unmarried and as he has said previously, his children become the loves of his life

Well, Kevin is the one character who's been on a quest for love throughout the entire series. So, I hope he doesn't end up alone! And sure, it could be that his kids really are the loves of his life.

Sophie. This show is all about flashbacks. So Kevin is starting at the beginning of his romances.

So hoping it’s Sophie! But that could be because I adore Alexandra Breckenridge.

Sophie I hope

For everyone saying the wedding singer is played by an actress who is too well know to play a small part, her former Scandal colleague, Josh Malina, also played a small part as the driver that Kevin save's on his way back home for the twin's births.

Kevin marries no one or he gets back with Beth cousin.

I was wondering why Zoe isn't even in the equation. the reason they broke up was because she didn't want kids but now she doesn't need to have any. But I still hope it is Madison somehow.

I hope it’s Cassidy. Because they understand each other’s both of them are struggling and recovering. I would be mad if wedding singer! Why? Sigh can’t wait to find out!

It will be the wedding singer… she will remind us all of Beth. Since Kevin is most like Jack, she will be the most like Beth!

I think the bra looked to small to be the wedding singers 🙂
