Hey there, fellow Grey’s Anatomy fans! If you’ve been tuning in lately, you know the show loves to keep us on our toes with unexpected love stories. Right now, we’re talking about a potential relationship that’s raising some eyebrows: Jackson Avery (played by Jesse Williams) and Maggie Pierce (played by Kelly McCreary). Now, here’s the twist—these two aren’t exactly strangers. Their parents are married, which makes things more than a little awkward. But hey, this is Grey’s Anatomy, where drama is the name of the game!
A Complicated Love Story Unfolds
Let’s break it down. Maggie’s biological father, Dr. Richard Weber, and Jackson’s mother, Catherine Avery, tied the knot. So, while they aren’t technically related by blood, the family dynamics make any potential romance between them a little complicated. But love knows no bounds, right? Ever since Jackson and April Kepner (played by Sara Drew) called it quits, and Maggie moved on from her crush on Nathan Riggs (played by Martin Henderson), sparks have been flying between these two. In the Jan. 18 episode, Jackson took a bold step and actually asked Maggie out on a date. Can you imagine the tension in that moment?
The Date That Almost Was
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Maggie was hesitant, saying how weird it would be for them to date. Before Jackson could convince her otherwise, her scheduled Tinder date showed up, throwing a wrench in their plans. But don’t worry, this isn’t the end of the story. Creator Shonda Rhimes has been teasing a romantic relationship between Jackson and Maggie, and after last week’s episode, fans are on the edge of their seats, dying to know what’s next for these two.

Kelly McCreary Weighs In
In a previous interview with Entertainment Tonight, Kelly McCreary opened up about the buzz surrounding "Jaggie" (the fan-named couple). “I had heard whispers about it, but it took a while to come to fruition, and it was as much of a surprise for us actors as it was for the audience,” she shared. “But that’s the beauty of Grey’s Anatomy—some of the most beloved storylines come out of nowhere. Long-lost siblings, unexpected love affairs, sexual awakenings, you name it. The surprises keep the stories rich and engaging, and the audience loves it, whether they predicted it or not.”

Kelly went on to say, “Maggie and Jackson have so many fascinating points of connection. No matter what happens between them, romantically or otherwise, we haven’t really seen them interact much as characters. This could be a fantastic way to delve deeper into their psyches, their histories, their desires, and what makes them tick. It’ll give the audience a chance to really get to know them better. We can’t wait to see where this relationship goes!”
