Maggie Pierce from Grey's Anatomy doesn't end up with anyone romantically by the close of her main storyline. She parts ways with her husband, Winston Ndugu, in a bittersweet but fitting conclusion to their marriage.

Maggie's Key Relationships

Maggie had several high-profile romances over her nine seasons on the show (seasons 11–19), but none led to a lasting endgame partner:

  • Jackson Avery : A passionate on-off relationship starting in season 14; they bonded deeply but broke up after camping trip tensions and family drama.
  • Winston Ndugu : Rekindled from their med school days, they married in the season 17 finale amid the COVID storyline. Cracks formed in season 18 over communication issues and career clashes.
  • Brief flings like Clive Johnson (a married Tinder match) and Andrew DeLuca highlighted her vulnerability post-heartbreaks.

Her Departure & "Happy Ending"

In season 19's finale (her sendoff episode), Maggie accepts a prestigious job at the Heart Center in Chicago, prioritizing her career. Winston stays in Seattle, refusing to follow without his own path—they share one last intimate night but acknowledge their resentment had grown too deep. Showrunners framed this as a happy ending for both: Maggie thrives independently, free from their toxic cycle.

"Maggie leaving Winston behind in Seattle may not seem like a happy ending on the surface, but it was the best ending for each of them."

Recent Twists (2025–2026 Buzz)

As of early 2026, Kelly McCreary's Maggie returned briefly in season 22, episode 2 (aired late 2025), revealing a pregnancy via sperm donor —no partner involved. She's single, focusing on motherhood and supporting Amelia amid grief. Fans on Reddit speculate this ties up her arc positively, with no hints of reconciliation.

Partner| Duration| Why It Ended| Status Post-Season 19
---|---|---|---
Jackson Avery| Seasons 14–15| Family pressures, mismatched goals| Friends/co- parents vibe 3
Winston Ndugu| Seasons 17–19| Resentment, career priorities| Amicable divorce; both move on 14
Sperm Donor (2025)| N/A| Solo choice| Pregnant & single 6

TL;DR at bottom : Maggie ends solo—her true "endgame" is self-empowerment. No one steals her heart forever amid Grey's chaos.
