Many fans of the show don’t see the pair as a good fit and have made their voices heard about it.

According to the show’s wiki, Catherine Fox (formerly Avery) and Richard Webber began their courtship by flirting. Richard was still married, but his wife had Alzheimer’s and no longer remembered him. They eventually hook up. Sadly, Richard’s wife passes away, and the two later date and get married. Their marriage experiences plenty of turbulent times. They separate but have found a way to reconcile after much deliberation by both sides. It’s one of the show’s more up-and-down relationships.
