Ellen Pompeo And Patrick Dempsey
Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey played a romantic relationship in Grey’s Anatomy as Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd respectively. Dempsey left Grey’s Anatomy in 2015. Fans wanted to believe that Dempsey and Pompeo were together in real life, but that’s not true.
Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey have not spoken since Dempsey left ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ in 2015.
The news that Pompeo and Dempsey had not talked at all since he left the show comes as quite a shock to fans. In December 2018, Pompeo told Jada Pinkett Smith the story on an episode of Red Table Talk.
There were rumors that Pompeo never liked Dempsey during their acting for about 11 years. Although Dempsey is no longer on-screen with Meredith, we can at least be happy that both Dempsey and Pompeo are in successful marriages in real life.
Pompeo married music producer Chris Ivery in 2007. The pair have three children together. She does not post any pictures of her and her real-life husband on social media, so it’s hard to say whether they are happily married. Pompeo has shared in interviews that he is very supportive of her.
Dempsey was married twice. He is currently married to Jillian Fink and also has three children with his wife. Fink filed for divorce in 2015, but the couple later reconciled and have been together ever since.
While we can no longer catch Dempsey on Grey’s Anatomy, we can see Pompeo every Thursday night at 8 p.m. on ABC.

There has been a number of rumors proposing that Pompeo may have given Botox injections and lip fillings to maintain her attractive feature. Blogger also predicted that Pompeo was doing nose surgery after discovering that the star had some differences in his face.
However, Pompeo said she’s not a fan of Botox or plastic surgery and hasn’t undergone either of the two. She shares that she’s gotten some perspective on her physical appearance with age.
She was furious at gossip that she had liposuction to get her body better after eating chaos. She once again denied plastic surgery and said she lost weight during pregnancy by exercising.

Pompeo has numerous allergies and asthmaPompeo and her husband own two toy poodles because they don’t shed: “I have asthma, so those are the only kinds of dogs I can have.” She follows a healthy lifestyle, meditates twice a day for 20 minutes each, and does so inside her trailer in between takes as well.
Ellen Pompeo Sells Spanish Villa
Pompeo sold her 1920s Spanish villa located high on an aerial double lot in the ancient Whitley Heights area in the foothills up Hollywood for a tad less than $2.8 million in 2018. Property records show the buyer as Sandra J. Brant, an ex-wife of modern art-collecting industrialist Peter Brant.
