Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery
Grey’s Anatomy star, Ellen Pompeo, is married to record producer Chris Ivery, and while he’s a big name in the music industry, Pompeo’s fans might not be familiar with him. While fans were rooting for Dr. McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) and Dr. Grey to become a real-life couple, each of them was involved in a long-term relationship while filming the show, which they’ve managed to keep out of the limelight.
It might give you hope to learn that love can come at the most unexpected time and place, as the coincidental encounter of Pompeo and Ivery proves. The first meeting of the two wasn’t at all glamorous, but the other way around – it was surprisingly ordinary. The couple met while shopping for groceries at Whole Foods. However, one meeting at Whole Foods isn’t really enough to spark a romance, since our lives aren’t scripted by Shonda Rhimes, and it took another coincidental encounter, two days later, for Pompeo to give this a chance.
