Ellen Pompeo is a bonafide television superstar. She has starred as Dr. Meredith Grey on the hit TV series ‘Grey’s Anatomy‘ for 19 seasons. Being the protagonist of the acclaimed medical drama, Pompeo rose to fame quickly and was one of the highest-paid TV actresses for multiple years. The show started in 2005 and is still going strong in 2023. However, Ellen left the show at the end of 2022 citing an increased workload and wanting to try something different. It will be tough for Grey’s Anatomy fans to imagine a world without Meredith Grey.
Pompeo is not only successful in her career but also has a loving family who supports her in every endeavor. Pompeo is married to music and record producer Chris Ivery since 2007. The couple has been married for 15 years and is very private about their relationship.
