The former costars appeared to be standing outside of a restaurant that was not open yet as stacked chairs could be seen through the windows.

Chambers was one of the original cast members of the very long running medical drama.

He played Dr. Alex Karev for 16 seasons from 2005 to 2020 when his character left Seattle to reunite with Katherine Heigl's Izzie.

Chyler checked into Seattle Grace Hospital, as it was called at the time, in season three as Dr. Lexie Grey, the younger half-sister of Ellen Pompeo's Dr. Meredith Grey.

She was on the show for five seasons until she was killed off in season eight, prompting the hospital to change its name to Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

Fans were over the moon to see two fan favorites together again.

'When Alex Karev and Lexie Grey reunite in a photo, it's like a throwback to when our TV hearts weren’t shattered into a million pieces!' one fan wrote. 

'WAIT ARE LEXI AND ALEX MAKING A COMEBACK?! I would literally start watching greys again!!!!' someone else exclaimed.

'I’M CRYING I miss you guys!' one person wrote, while another added, 'girl this means the world to me.'
