Meet the three doppelgänger children of Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian

Patrick Dempsey’s children are growing up quickly – and paving their own career paths.

The Grey's Anatomy Alum, 58, is married to Jillian Fink since 1999, and together they have three children, daughter Talula Fyfeand twins Darby Galen And Sullivan, Patrick.

The couple met in 1994 when actor Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd – who was previously married to his manager Rocky Parker from 1987 to 1994 – I had my hair cut in her salon.

However, Patrick and Jillian, a celebrated makeup artist and founder of an eponymous cosmetics line, didn't start dating until 1997, and eventually tied the knot in 1999 in an intimate ceremony at his family's estate in Maine.

In 2015 They separated briefly and Jillian filed for divorcehowever, they have since spoken openly about their decision to work on their marriage and call off the divorce. “Jill and I decided it was time to work on our issues and improve ourselves. We wanted to be role models for our kids that, 'Okay, if you have differences, you can work them out,'” he told People.

Family has always been what keeps the couple together. In 2008, Patrick told Parade, “It comes down to family, to the core. Those are the people you've known the longest. I love having a big family. I think it's easier in some ways to have three kids than just one. And it's been great for my relationship with my wife and our lives and everything.”
