Andrew Powell.

Lieutenant Andrew Powell was a Human Starfleet science officer serving aboard the USS Enterprise-D.

He began dating Nurse Alyssa Ogawa in 2370, and their relationship became serious. Powell joined Ogawa's friends, including Sam Lavelle, in a poker game on at least one occassion. Sam later said, jokingly, that Powell was probably the worst poker player he had ever seen. However, Ogawa worried that they were drifting apart after Powell cancelled a date and began putting in overtime on a research proposal. Dr. Beverly Crusher also saw Powell talking with another woman in Ten Forward. When Crusher asked Ogawa about the status of their romance out of concern, Ogawa revealed that Powell had proposed to her and that they planned to announce the engagement after the midyear crew evaluations. (TNG: "Lower Decks")

Ogawa became pregnant with their first child soon following their engagement. Powell was initially shocked, and Lieutenant Commander Data offered to share his insights on parenthood, gained from experiences with Spot. (TNG: "Genesis")

A man who was presumably Powell was seen with Alyssa after she lost the baby due to the effects of the temporal anomaly in the anti-time present in TNG: "All Good Things..." He did not speak and the actor who played him, extra Brian Demonbreun, was not credited for the role.
