ABC TV’s Grey’s Anatomy has kept millions of viewers glued to the screens since 2005. With Ellen Pompeo’s character, Dr. Meredith Grey leading a host of other compelling stars, no one wants to envisage the show ever coming to an end! Revolving around interns, residents, and attending surgeons who struggle to grow in their career while maintaining stable personal lives and relationships, Grey’s Anatomy‘s plot continue to hold its charm as it unfolds by the year. Although the show bares every bit of Meredith’s love life to viewers, fans are really curious about the player, Ellen Pompeo’s own real personal life and relationship. Among other trivia, they particularly want to know the latest state of Chris Ivery and Ellen Pompeo’s marriage.
Are Chris Ivery and Ellen Pompeo Still Married?
Yes! Chris Ivery and Ellen Pompeo are still marrying each other. Married in 2007, their union has lasted for twelve years as of 2019. Prior to their wedding, Chris and Ellen met in the most ordinary way. That was in 2003 at a grocery shop in Los Angeles. They initially started off as casual friends. But after about six months, they developed special interest in each other and consequently, started dating.
The duo later tied the knot in a private civil ceremony held at the New York City Hall on November 9, 2007. The wedding which came off on a Friday, was in fact, a secret affair with only the officiant, then Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the witness, First Deputy Mayor Patti Harris in attendance. The couple invited no one and so had no reception party. They only went off to Lupa for lunch after the quick and quiet solemnization. They followed this with just a weekend-long honeymoon! That was all they could get due to Grey’s Anatomy‘s heightened success at the time which kept Pompeo in the public eye almost every minute of her life.
Ever after, Chris and Ellen’s relationship has been pretty strong, with no media-noticed issues or controversies. Meanwhile, considering the nature of Ellen’s job on Grey’s Anatomy, many fear that their relationship might easily hit the rocks. But that has never happened as Ellen described Chris as a “very very secure” and “fantastic guy” who never feels threatened by her screen roles, no matter how steamy it becomes. According to Pompeo, nothing shakes Ivery.
