Danielle Savre’s Partner: More about the Actress Linked to Kevin McKidd’s Love Life

Danielle Savre was discrete about her former partner with whom she bought a home in June 2017. Danielle Savre’s dating history includes male and female lovers.

Danielle Savre has made a career portraying physical characters. She played a cheerleader opposite Hayden Panettiere on two occasions, in the straight-to-DVD flick “Bring It On: All or Nothing” and on NBC’s “Heroes.”

She has portrayed Maya Bishop, an Olympic gold medallist turned firefighter, in the “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff, “Station 19” since 2018. Her character’s strength and sexuality have led to many questions surrounding her love life.

Danielle Savre’s sexuality became a point of interest, with her “Station 19” character coming out as bisexual and her intense chemistry with her onscreen love interest portrayed by Stefania Spampinato.

“I just really wanna experience the kind of chemistry Danielle Savre and Stefania Spampinato have at least once in my life,” a “shipper” of “Marina,” an amalgamation of their characters’ names Maya and Carina, tweeted.

“When chemistry goes beyond reason,” another agreed, tweeting screen grabs of the TV couple kissing.” A third fan called their connection “magic in a bottle.”

“I will honestly never get over how unreal the chemistry is between Danielle Savre and Stefania Spampinato,” a Twitter user wrote. Savre has commented on viewers’ appreciation of a solid gay couple who are not “constantly in a state of turmoil.”

The social media feedback on their relationship mirrors the initial response from the cast and crew during the actress’ first table read. Spampinato remembers how the “room froze:”

“Everybody was holding their breath, and it was just a meeting in Joe’s bar. But the chemistry was so strong in that scene, the whole room felt it.”

On “Valen y Sofi” in May 2022, Savre admitted she had been in love with a woman before. The hosts asked how she copes with the speculation of her relationship with Spampinato.

“I handle it honestly,” she said as she explained how their passion for life and their craft, including their mutual respect and admiration, “resonates on camera.” The actress added:

“I love Stefania as a friend [laughs], absolutely love her. And I think that we just love working together.”

Though Maya’s sexuality only expanded after the actress booked “Station 19,” the Californian native “wholeheartedly” supports the character development.

In a 2018 interview with StyleCaster, the Shondaland alum preferred not to discuss her sexual preferences. “I will say this,” she said:

“I believe we fall in love with who we fall in love with, and gender is not a factor. I think you fall in love with the person, not with the sex.”

The Chicago Tribune reported in April 2018 that Savre and her then-partner of four years, Andrew Contis, had purchased a three-bedroom house in the city in June 2017.

Just as they remodeled their bathroom, she went to South Africa to film “Deep Blue Sea 2.” On her return, she was booked on the “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff. She said:

“I just want to go back, and I want to get on a boat and go on the lake and just kind of enjoy my house again.”

In the ten-odd months she had been a homeowner, the actress whose new show filmed in Los Angeles had barely spent three months in her home.

Savre’s former boyfriend, Contis, graduated from the private boarding school Culver Military Academy. At Michigan State University, he earned a BA in economics and was the NCAA men’s ice hockey Manager.

He joined the Chicago Blackhawks as an operational intern in 2014 and has been promoted multiple times to a managerial position as honkey analytics/video analyst. The private couple has gone their separate ways.

At the close of May 2023, the “Too Close to Home” actress was caught by paparazzi getting close to Kevin McKidd, who plays Dr. Hunt on “Grey’s Anatomy,” while on vacation in Italy.

The “Heroes” actress donated her eggs to her bestie.

The co-stars were snapped making out and hugging on a dock after swimming in Lake Camo. They have been in multiple crossover episodes in their Shondaland shows.

The attractive pair was also spotted engaging in PDA while strolling through the cobbled streets of Bellagio, Camo. The duo has not commented on the photos.

McKidd announced the end of his five-year marriage to Arielle Goldrath in July 2022. Previously he was married to Jane Parker, with whom he has two adult children.

The Scottish actor came to prominence playing Tommy in “Trainspotting” in the ’90s. He voiced ‘Soap’ MacTavish in the second and third installments of “Call of Duty” and Lord MacGuffin in “Brave.”

Though Savre does not yet have a family of her own, she gave a lifelong friend the gift to start his. The “Heroes” actress donated her eggs to her bestie Chris Ogden-Harkins and his husband, Jake Ogden-Harkins, in 2021.

The Ogden-Harkins introduced their daughter on social media in November of that year. The actress got the opportunity to explore an LGBTQ+ couple’s journey on “Station 19.”

“I feel like family is not just blood anymore,” she said in a 2022 interview. “The whole storyline moves me a lot and makes me very emotional at times, a little too passionate.”
