Ranking Grey’s Anatomy’s Epic Romances

Ah, Japril. A romance that began in disaster – never forget when April (Sarah Drew) left her fiancé standing at the altar to elope with Jackson (Jesse Williams)—and ended in tragedy. After escaping and discovering she was pregnant, the new couple discovered their unborn child had a fatal condition, requiring April to give birth to their stillborn son Samuel. They broke up in season 11, although a one-night stand produced a daughter, Harriet, in season 12. By the time Drew left the show in season 14, she had reunited with jilted beau Matthew (Justin Bruning), spontaneously marrying him with Jackson’s blessing.

However, Japril fans got a bit of home as April returned to Grey’s in Season 17 to help complete Jackson’s journey. In particular, after Jackson decided to move to Boston to lead a foundation in his fight for racial equality, April, who was recently single, decided to move to the East Coast with her daughter Harriet, leaving behind hope that the two could reunite in future.

And in the finale of the 18th season Grey The creative team confirmed that Japril was romantically reunited, as the episode featured the two doctors kissing.
