Love Doctors! All About the ‘Scrubs’ Cast’s Real-Life Romances
We have a pulse! Scrubs has come back to life. The medical comedy is bringing back JD (Zach Braff), Turk (Donald Faison), Elliott (Sarah Chalke), Carla (Judy Reyes), and Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), but things won’t look exactly the same. The reboot’s description promises that JD and Turk’s bromance is still going strong, but medicine and Sacred Heart have changed. A handful of new characters have been added to the mix, too.
It’s been over 15 years since Scrubs first premiered, so fans have some catching up to do. For some, that means reading a few recaps about how the show ended during its first run. For others — aka Swooon — that also means checking back in on the cast’s real-life loves. Plus, we couldn’t resist checking out the relationship statuses of the newcomers, too. Find out which actors are married, dating, or single below.
