There’s no questioning the success of Grey’s Anatomy. The hospital drama centers on the lives of certain characters within the medical world and the careers they lead. First airing all the way back in 2005, the show is now one of the longest-running TV series in the U.S. It boasts an enormous fan base and we’ve all loved watching each doctor or surgeon slowly play out tense and dramatic storylines. While we’ve grown attached to the characters, we also feel attached to the actors that play them. So now we’re going to delve a little bit into their off-screen lives and the relationships that they have.
Ellen Pompeo & Chris Ivery – Meredith Grey
Ellen Pompeo gained incredible recognition for her role in Grey’s Anatomy as the title character Meredith Grey. In 2007, she married music producer Chris Ivery although the two first met back in 2003. They didn’t need a dating app to find each other though, instead, they simply went to the same grocery store and met completely by chance. In December 2016, the married couple welcomed their third child into the world, although the third was through a surrogate mother.

He’s been married twice with things hopefully second time lucky with current wife Jillian Fink. The two were married in 1999 and things were going smoothly for the actor until 2015. It was in 2015 that Fink decided she wanted to end their marriage although it never officially went ahead. They ultimately managed to sort out their issues and any separation was taken off the table, which is great news for their three children.
