Grey's Anatomy: Exploring the entire relationship timeline of Callie and Arizona 

Grey's Anatomy is a long-running American medical drama television series that premiered in 2005, created by Shonda Rhimes. This iconic hospital drama explores the personal and professional lives of surgical interns, residents, and seasoned doctors while balancing their personal life challenges alongside the emergency room drama.

Callie Torres and Arizona Robbins, affectionately known as "Calzona," were one of Grey's Anatomy's most liked couples. Their relationship starts to take shape in Season 5 when they go out on their first date. By Season 14, they get separated, but fans anticipate a reunion again. Let's explore the couple's journey throughout the show.

Tracing back the relationship of Arizona and Callie in Grey's Anatomy

As mentioned, Callie and Arizona witnessed all the ebbs and flows in Grey's Anatomy since Season 5, when their first romantic involvement took place. Callie was introduced in Season 2 and was having a divorce from her husband. It's only later that she explored her s*xual identity, and then in Season 5, she met Arizona, who confronted her, and they ended up kissing each other. She also came out to her father and officially called Arizona her girlfriend.

In Season 6, they were seen moving in together, which only solidified their commitment towards each other. Callie had always wanted a baby, and Arizona, having contrastingly different thoughts, came as a surprise to her. However, in Season 7, Arizona received a grant to open a clinic in Africa. This led to a temporary separation from Callie.

Though it was temporary, it resulted in some irreversible changes. Callie became pregnant with Mark Sloan's child. Upon Arizona's return, the couple tried hard to reconnect while Callie gave birth to their daughter, Sofia. They decided to raise the baby together and get married shortly after, officiated by Miranda Bailey. But this was not the end. Another tragedy was waiting for the couple.

Season 8 brought a devastating plane crash that resulted in the deaths of Mark Sloan and Lexie Grey. Arizona survived but suffered a severe leg injury. The surgery required someone to make a crucial decision. Callie made the difficult decision to cut off Arizona's leg due to complications.

This led to an everlasting strain in their relationship. Season 9 came with more consequences for them when Arizona cheated on Callie with Dr. Lauren Boswell, further complicating their already strained marriage.

Will Arizona and Callie reunite in Grey's Anatomy?

In Season 10, the couple attended therapy to save their relationship, but in vain. The next season, they separated, and divorced each other. However, they continue to co-parent Sofia, their child. Afterwards, Callie relocated to New York to start a new chapter in her life, entering a relationship with Penny Blake. This move further distanced her from Arizona.

In Season 13, Arizona moved to New York to be closer to Sofia and to co-parent effectively with Callie. During this time, Arizona began a relationship with Dr. Eliza Minnick. Therefore, all these events distanced them enough to never be together again. Then in Season 14, they again met, attending Jo and Alex's wedding, preparing to leave for New York.

While it was not explicitly stated, the scene suggested a potential reconciliation between Callie and Arizona, leaving their future open to interpretation.
