Atticus 'Link' Lincoln on Grey's Anatomy: Character Guide, Jo Romance, and Future Faq
By Elena Rostova
Link's romantic life cannot be separated from Dr. Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone). Their relationship during the pandemic produced their biological son, Scout Lincoln, but ultimately fractured over fundamental lifestyle differences. Link yearned for a conventional nuclear marriage with traditional domestic commitments, while Amelia resisted formal marriage vows to protect her hard-won sobriety and mental independence.
Rather than turning bitter, Link and Amelia built a model co-parenting partnership that stands out on network television. They navigated messy boundaries, Amelia's subsequent romantic relationships, and Link's transition into dating Jo without weaponizing their son.
With Jo's adopted daughter Luna and the arrival of the newborn twins, Link now anchors an expansive blended family. Managing Scout's schedule alongside three younger children while maintaining a grueling surgical schedule will define his personal conflicts through the rest of Season 22.
