“I’m very comfortable with them being platonic — like brother and sister, and friends. I think that suits them better,” Justin continued. “But hey, who knows? Nobody knows how things go, you know? I was friends with my wife before we started dating.”

“They have been friends a long time, though. Alex and [Meredith] have come up together and I don’t know, [it’d be] a little weird, but anything is possible,” he added.

“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 Dempsey all the time too because just we’d been [working] together for so long,” Ellen continued.

“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.”
