Ellen and Justin on Grey’s.

Following the death of Meredith’s husband, Dr. Derek Shepherd (portrayed by Patrick Dempsey) during Season 12, fans were immediately suspicious that a love affair may be in the future for Mer and Alex. But, they unfortunately think otherwise.

“Justin is one of my favorite people on the planet,” Ellen, 47, told E! News on the Grey’s set. “We’re really close, and it does feel weird. To potentially maybe have him as a love interest would be like kissing my brother. I used to say that about Patrick all the time too because just we’d been together for so long.” Ellen and Justin have both been on the show since its first season in 2005.

“The love interest part is not my favorite piece of this, I’ll be honest,” she added. “Kissing guys that aren’t your husband is, you know, a little weird. I guess it wouldn’t be if you didn’t like your husband, but I happen to be very, very fond of mine.”

While Justin, 46, agrees with Ellen, he doesn’t like to rule things out, as he knows the show’s creator, Shonda Rhimes, can have anything up her sleeve! “I think anything is possible, but personally I find it to be weird,” he confessed to the news outlet. “I think that they’re very much like siblings. They’ve been through so much together. Personally, I don’t see it. But, hey, this is Grey’s Anatomy. Anything is possible.”
