Caterina Scorsone's character, Amelia Shepherd, has had a history of tumultuous relationships in Grey's Anatomy. Amelia made a guest appearance on the show in the seventh season after appearing in the third season of its spin-off Private Practice.
She is Derek Shepherd's sister and has a history of drug addiction, which is explored in Grey's Anatomy in length. Not only was she a recovering drug addict, but she had also faced her share of troubles in relationships and motherhood because of it.
While in Seattle, Amelia had a string of casual partners and some serious partners she was married to or almost married to. She had a history with Owen Hunt that could not culminate into a relationship because of their differences.
Amelia had an affair with Atticus Lincoln on Grey's Anatomy, which gave her Scout, their son. When it seemed like Amelia's character was finally getting a satisfactory relationship on the show, fans were wrong. While Link wanted to get married to Amelia and raise a family, she was hesitant, leading to their eventual break-up on the show.
Here is Amelia's storyline explored in Grey's Anatomy.

Kai Bartley is first introduced in Season 18 as a neuroscientist working in Minnesota. They help Amelia on a Parkinson's research team. Amelia frequently travels between Seattle and Minnesota for work, so they quickly develop feelings for one another.
As the story continues in Grey's Anatomy, Kai and Amelia go on a date and also have s*x. While fans of the show highly appreciated Amelia's relationship with Kai, their romance was also short-lived.
When Kai visits Amelia's son, Scout, they decide to end things with Amelia because they don't want children and would no longer wish to lead Amelia in this relationship. The two, however, reconcile and begin a long-distance relationship.
When Kai tells Amelia they have been offered a job in London, things get messy. The pair break up, and Kai leaves the show (and for London).
After Kai's episode, Amelia sparks a romance with Monica Beltran (Natalie Morales), one of Grey Sloan's newest joinee. Monica is the new pediatric surgeon who is confident and believes in her methods (she sounds a lot like Amelia).
While Monica has spent most of her scenes with Amelia on Grey's Anatomy, it is expected that the two will have a romantic relationship on the show. While they started out as enemies, frequently bickering about cases, Amelia could have her own enemies-to-lovers arc on the show after a string of unsuccessful relationships.
But it seems like Amelia was not the only one Monica sparked romance rumors with. She also seemed to have something going with Winston (Anthony Hill). After a glimmer of hope for Amelia, Monica ends up with Winston.
Monica made a comeback in Grey's Anatomy Season 21. While she is expected for just 6 episodes, it will be interesting to see her fate with Amelia. As for Amelia, fans are waiting to see her new love interest on the show or maybe some blast from her past.
