Although fans suspected that E.R. Fightmaster and Caterina's relationship extended beyond the screen, they rejoiced over the more concrete evidence of the couple holding hands.

X (formerly Twitter) account @FanyRowley joked, "The thing with Caterina Scorsone and E.R. Fightmaster has been so obvious for such a long time, but as always with couples who aren't heterosexual, you need 926,282 pieces of proof, a lock of hair from the firstborn, and for the dinosaurs to come back."

Caterina spoke with Parade about Kai and Amelia's relationship on Grey's Anatomy.

She said, "The Kaimelia situation was such a heartbreak for Amelia because they were such a beautiful match and they both had this really electric understanding of the brain and neurosurgery ... But life circumstances weren’t matching up, and there were all these externals that made it impossible."

Caterina added, "So since that heartbreak, she’s really been focused on medicine, which I think is actually the love of her life — her passion for the miracle of medicine and the human body."

Caterina Scorsone split from her ex-husband, Rob Giles, in 2020.

Caterina and Rob Giles, who share three daughters (Eliza, Pippa, and Lucky), separated on March 1, 2020, after 11 years of marriage, according to People.

A representative told the outlet, "Caterina and Rob have separated. They remain friends and are committed to co-parenting their children in a spirit of love."

They officially filed for divorce on Friday, May 8, citing "irreconcilable differences." The former couple had gotten married in June 2009.

Rob Giles is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist, according to IMDb. He's worked with Andy Summers of the Police, Lisa Loeb, and The Rescues.

Rob's career in film and TV began in 2015 when he sold two spec scripts to Warner Bros. He's also written music for Grey's Anatomy and scripts for Station 19.
