Ellen Pompeo’s children: Family and other details explained
According to US Weekly, Ellen Pompeo’s first meeting with her husband, Chris Ivery, happened in 2003 at a grocery store in Los Angeles. The duo shared a close friendship for a few months and later began dating. Around three years later, they got engaged, followed by their marriage in 2007.
A few years before the marriage, Pompeo told the outlet during a conversation that she and Ivery have many things in common, including their hometown. The Coming Soon star further stated:
“You fall in love and you think he’s the guy right away. Right when you fall in love, you think he’s the guy. You don’t sort of fall into a relationship thinking it’s only going to be temporary.”
Ellen Pompeo’s eldest daughter, 15-year-old Stella, has developed an interest in medicine. People magazine stated that Stella has accompanied her mother on various occasions, including the Primetime Emmy Awards last year.
The Station 19 star’s second child, 10-year-old Sienna, was born through surrogacy, and Stella was not too excited when she welcomed Sienna. Pompeo recalled Stella’s reaction while speaking to Ellen DeGeneres in 2015 and said:
“After three months, she was like, ‘Is she leaving?’ I was like, ‘No, no, she’s going to live here.’ And she was like, ‘Oh, okay.’”
Ellen Pompeo became the mother of a son named Eli Christopher around nine years ago. Eli is eight years old and has displayed his dancing and singing skills in two social media posts shared by his mother.
Also known as Ellen Kathleen Pompeo, she was last seen in the Hulu series Good American Family. She portrayed Kristine Barnett, and the show focused on the theme of adoption.
