Ellen Pompeo
Meredith Grey has had several romances over the past 18 seasons of Grey's Anatomy, but for actress Ellen Pompeo there's only been one man in her life. She has been married to husband Chris Ivery since 2007. The couple met in a Los Angeles grocery store in 2003 and struck up a friendship before falling for each other. Together they share three children: 11-year-old Stella Luna, six-year-old Sienna May, and three-year-old Eli Christopher.
Although Ellen loves sharing photos of her kids, she's pretty tight-lipped about Chris, and since he's not on social media, he remains a bit of a mystery.
Patrick Dempsey
Patrick Dempsey will always be known for his role of Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd who was married to Ellen Pompeo's Meredith. In real life, the actor has been married twice. He first walked down the aisle all the way back in 1987 at the age of 21 to his then-manager, actress and acting coach, Rochelle Parker. The couple divorced in 1994 and five years later, Patrick married Jillian Fink, with whom he shares three children: daughter Talula and twin sons Sullivan and Darby. At one point, they filed for divorce but reconciled and have been happily married since.
