Lexie Grey, portrayed by Chyler Leigh, is a beloved character from the hit TV series Grey's Anatomy. Introduced in Season 4 as the half-sister of Meredith Grey, Lexie quickly became a fan favorite due to her intelligence, compassion, and quirky charm as a surgical intern at Seattle Grace Hospital.
Known for her eidetic memory and determination, she evolved from an eager learner into a skilled surgeon, forming deep bonds with colleagues like Mark Sloan and Jackson Avery. Her storyline was marked by personal growth, a tragic romance with Mark, and a heartbreaking death in the Season 8 plane crash, leaving a lasting impact on the series.
Since her time on Grey's Anatomy, Chyler Leigh's life has taken a different path. As of 2025, she is happily married to Nathan West, a musician and actor, whom she wed in 2002. The couple has three children, demonstrating a strong family life away from the Hollywood spotlight. Professionally, Chyler has moved beyond her role as Lexie, taking on diverse projects.
She starred in the CW series Supergirl as Alex Danvers from 2015 to 2021, showcasing her versatility. More recently, she has focused on music and advocacy, releasing songs and speaking openly about her mental health and LGBTQ+ journey, including coming out as part of the community. Unlike Lexie’s surgical career, Chyler’s current work blends acting with personal passions, marking a significant shift from her on-screen persona
