who does jane rizzoli end up with
Jane Rizzoli does not canonically “end up with” anyone on the Rizzoli & Isles TV show; the series finale leaves her single and focused on a new life chapter and her bond with Maura, not on a long‑term romantic partner.
In the show, Jane’s most serious romance is with Lt. Casey Jones, who proposes to her, and she accepts. However, he ultimately chooses a prestigious military posting overseas, and Jane chooses to stay in Boston with her career, so they part ways and do not end up together. By the finale, the producers deliberately keep both Jane and Maura out of any committed relationship, emphasizing that they are independent, strong women whose most important relationship is their deep, enduring friendship, capped by Jane going to Paris to spend time with Maura before starting her FBI teaching job at Quantico.
In Tess Gerritsen’s original novels, it is different: book‑Jane Rizzoli marries FBI agent Gabriel Dean and becomes the mother of their daughter, Regina Rizzoli‑Dean, so on the page she clearly “ends up” with Gabriel.
Bottom line:
- TV Jane: no final romantic endgame; she heads to Quantico, remains close to Maura, and is intentionally left unattached.
- Book Jane: marries Gabriel Dean and builds a family with him.
So if you’re asking “who does Jane Rizzoli end up with,” the answer depends on the version you mean: in the TV series, no one officially; in the books, Gabriel Dean.
