Sarah Drew & Peter Lanfer
Grey’s Anatomy first aired on ABC on March 27, 2005. The show revolves around the personal lives and career of Meredith Grey and the medical staff. The series was initially seen as just another regular American TV show, but as the episodes continued, everyone got hooked. We’ve followed these characters through their ups and downs and got to see everyone that they fell in love with throughout the series (or just had some fun with).
Who doesn’t remember Karev and Izzy’s on-screen romance which ended with her leaving him and them losing touch? It’s been a while since I’ve heard from Bailey’s ex-husband, Tucker. Who is Meredith’s newest love interest since she’s tried dating? As fans of the TV series, we are equally as interested in their on-screen relationships as we are with the relationships of the actors in real life!
So, who are the real-life partners of the amazing cast of Grey’s Anatomy?
Sarah Drew joined the show during the sixth season, playing the role of April Kepner – an attending trauma surgeon at the hospital. April is portrayed as a non-social religious Christian, who often prays for her patients before they start any surgical operation. Similar to her character in the TV series, Sarah Drew is a devoted Christian and is the daughter and sister of a pastor.
Sara Ramirez & Ryan DeBolt
Sarah Drew is married to UCLA professor Peter Lanfer. The couple started dating before Drew started her acting career and now have 2 children together. She revealed in an interview that her husband traditionally wooed her with a love letter. While pregnant in real life, she shot a scene for April’s labor on the show. She went home after work only to find she was in labor for real.
Sara Ramirez made her first appearance in the second season of Grey’s Anatomy, where she played the role of the well-loved Dr. Callie Torres. Callie Torres was an orthopedic surgery resident. Like many of the medical drama’s stars, Sara Ramirez’s role as Callie brought her into the limelight. At the end of her time on the show in season 12, her character took her daughter and moved to New York.
Brooke Smith & Steven Lubensky
Sara Ramirez got married to banker Ryan DeBolt on July 4th, 2012 in a private beachside ceremony in New York. However, Sara shocked everyone when she revealed that she was bisexual in 2016. Despite that, there’s been no indication of controversy between the couple. She wrote that her decision to come out was a “very organic and natural” one.
Brooke Smith played the role of outspoken Dr. Erica Hahn in Grey’s Anatomy. However, she was abruptly fired from the TV series in 2008. There were speculations that she was let go because of her lesbian role with Torres. Rhimes responded to her claims stating “[she] just didn’t see the magic and chemistry between Callie and Erica and that’s why the story did not continue and Erica was no more.” Afterward, she brought in Arizona Robbins as Callie’s new love interest.
Camilla Luddington& Matthew Alan
Beyond the screen, Brooke Smith has been married to cinematographer Steve Lubensky since January 6, 1999. They have two children together, Fanny Grace who was born in 2003, and Lucy who was adopted from Ethiopia. They currently live together in the Upper West Side New York and Beachwood Canyon, LA.

Kim Raver & Manuel Boyer
Knight’s departure from the show was stirred when his costar Isaiah Washington allegedly called him a faggot. Since he left the show, he has worked on Broadway and appeared in shows like “The Good Wife” and “The Catch”. In 2013, T.R Knight got married to his partner of 3 years, ballet dancer and writer Patrick Leahy. The couple met at a dinner party in New York which was thrown by mutual friends.

Debbie says that her marriage and her children are her more valuable achievements.
We know Chandra Wilson as popular Miranda Bailey on the series. On the show, her relationship is one of the few dramatic ones. Although her marriage to Ben Warren comes with a series of ups and downs, it’s definitely a perfect example of a solid union in Grey’s Anatomy! Chandra shows up on two other spin-offs from Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice and Station 19. Her on-screen husband Ben Warren is one of the main characters in the show Station 19.
Martin Henderson & Helen Randag

Away from the series, Wilson does not like her private life in the open. Till today, no one knows the name of her lover whom she presently has 3 kids with Serena, Joy, and Michael.
Martin Henderson is loved by fans of the medical drama for his role as Dr. Nathan Riggs in Grey’s. He wasn’t so loved at first, on-screen, by Owen Hunt. He and Owen went back to when they were in the army. Riggs was dating Owen’s sister, Megan, who at the time they thought was dead. Before he left the show, Owen’s sister was found, kidnapped but alive. She was brought back and the two moved to Malibu to be with her son.
Eric Dane & Rebecca Gayheart
Martin Henderson is an actor from New Zealand and is usually known for keeping his personal life private. However, he couldn’t hide his romantic relationship with popular director and producer, Helen Randag. He made his relationship official via Instagram when he posted a photo of himself and Helen with the caption: “Out with my bae – I love you, darling.” Randag quickly replied with her post saying “I love you too my darling.”
Eric Dane was loved by female fans as he played the role of the handsome, womanizing Doctor ‘McSteamy’ Mark Sloan. While Sloan was known for being with a lot of women in the show, he was just getting into something with Lexie Grey before she passed away in the plane crash. Unfortunately, Sloan also died from injuries from that crash. His character had such a great impact on the show that Seattle Grace was re-named Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital in memory of him after his tragic departure.
Kate Walsh & Alex Young
Off the screen, Dane got married to American model Rebecca Gayheart in 2004. The couple has two daughters, Billie Beatrice and Georgia Geraldine Dane. They had a fair share of trying times as well, especially in 2009 when a nude video of him, his wife and Kari Ann Peniche.
Kate Walsh played Dr. Addison Montgomery on Greys Anatomy for only 2 seasons and ended season one as Derek’s ex-wife. While she came into the show a bit colder feeling, she ended up being so loved that Shonda Rhimes created a show called Private Practice which followed her transferring to a California clinic.
Justin Chambers & Keisha Chambers
Let’s take a look at Kate Walsh’s love life off-screen. Well, she married Alex Young in 2007 and ended up divorcing three years later. She had always thought that she would be married with three or four kids. In her words, “I always knew I wanted to be an actress, but I think I always wanted a quote-unquote normal life.” Since her divorce, she dated Trevor Davis, but they broke up in 2016. In 2015, she was diagnosed with a benign meningioma and had to have surgery. She took nine months off to recover from this.

Chamber’s character was actually added in later after they shot the first episode, and now he is one of the four original characters who are still alive on the show today. His character survived being fired from the show’s hospital and even got a new job at a rival hospital.
Isaiah Washington &Jenisa Garland
Unlike his character in the TV series, Justin has maintained a steady relationship with his wife, Keisha Chambers since 1993, with whom he has 5 adorable children!

They helped cover up insurance fraud and DeLuca was initially arrested for it before Meredith Grey turned herself in.
Taye Diggs and Amanza Smith
Away from the screens, Giacomo has a pretty cool love life. He spent the early parts of his life the great city Rome before moving to Toronto where his acting career started. He recently announced his engagement to Nichole Gustafson, a makeup artist, in November 2017. The couple got married in Italy in April of 2019.

Scott Elrod and Vanessa Vazart
Domińczyk was engaged to actor Scott Foley for a year before they got married in June 2007. The couple had a private wedding ceremony in Hawaii. They have three children, a girl and two boys named Malina, Keller Aleksander and Konrad.
Some people know him from Top Gun, but fans of Grey’s Anatomy know Scott Elrod as the army cancer surgeon and lovely Will Thorpe. He first met Meredith when Grey Sloan team helped him out with a surgery on his patient. Will had a romantic relationship with Meredith, but she was scared to start a relationship, as her husband Derek recently died.
Leven Rambin and Tilky Jones
Away from the screen, Scott got engaged to his long-term girlfriend Vanessa after she got pregnant. He shared this wonderful news on his Instagram page. The couple already has their wedding plans, but no date has been revealed yet. They have a son together, Easton Thomas Elrod, who was born on June 22, 2016, just after Father’s Day.

Edward Herrmann and Star Roman
George came into Grey’s Anatomy during season 5 as Meredith’s best friend. She brought a lot of drama with her, on top of the fact she had no idea how to diagnose basic things. She went a bit crazy on the show and convinced the other interns to cut out her appendix for the simple reason of practice. Obviously, she barely made it through the season before leaving.
Unfortunately, Edward Herrmann passed away in December 2014. He lived happily with his second wife, Star Roman, from 1994 until he passed.
