3 years ago

You may be hoping to see more of Maggie Pierce and Winston Ndugu’s romance during season 17 of Grey’s Anatomy, but IRL, actress Kelly McCreary’s heart belongs to someone else. Kelly met her director husband Pete Chatmon on the set of Grey’s Anatomy back in 2017, and the couple dated for two years before tying the knot in May 2019. From the many couple’s pics the pair posts on social media, it’s pretty clear these two are enamored with each other, and we love to see it. Check out the gallery for everything you should know about Kelly’s accomplished hubby.
