Are Patrick Dempsey And Ellen Pompeo Friends Again? Actor, Wife Jillian Fink Now Happy

While there have been no new reports about Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo, many might be wondering if the former co-stars have finally reconciled.

It can be recalled that the "Grey's Anatomy" lead stars were rumored to have experienced some indifference between them before the actor left the series during the early part of last year.

Prior to this exit, they used to play husband and wife doctors Derek McDreamy and Meredith Grey.

While some theorized that Patrick Dempsey's separation from wife Jillian Fink was caused by Ellen Pompeo, especially that these two women are friends, Radar Online had something else to say.

"Insiders tell RadarOnline.com that contrary to 'In Touch's' report, Pompeo had nothing to do with Dempsey's affair going public, or his dismissal from 'Grey's,'" the outlet revealed.

It can be recalled that based on the report of "In Touch" magazine, certain sources claimed that "it was Dempsey's 'Grey's Anatomy' gig that got him fired - and divorced!"

"Patrick had an inappropriate relationship with a young woman who worked on the set," the report shared. "[Costar] Ellen Pompeo found out and was angry because she's close friends with Jillian, so of course, she told her."

Accordingly, "show creator Shonda Rhimes 'has no patience for that kind of behavior' and promptly wrote his exit."

However, this was denied by the rep of the 50-year-old former "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" actor who pointed out that it was an "absurd story."

On the other hand, People disclosed that a year after Patrick Dempsey's wife Jillian Fink filed for divorce, the couple just decided to rekindle their romance. 

A source even stated that "They seem very happy and are spending a lot of time together."

"They go on dates and are also involved with the kids together," the unnamed insider added.

Meanwhile, it was also learned that "For the past year, Patrick and Jillian have been working on getting to where they are right now."

Could the happiness of Patrick Demspey and wife Jillian Fink right now be translated to the reconciliation of the actor with Ellen Pompeo?
