Patrick Dempsey's Rep Laughs Off Rumors 'Grey's Anatomy' Actor Is Dating Jennifer Garner

Patrick Dempsey is said to have swooped in to save Jennifer Garner from the doldrums as the former "Grey's Anatomy" star is reportedly dating the "Dallas Buyers Club" actress after her divorce from Ben Affleck.

The rumor about Patrick Dempsey dating Jennifer Garner was first reported by OK! magazine, as shared by Hollywood Life, as the article alleged that the former "Grey's Anatomy" actor reached out to the "Alias" star following the divorce.

The two worked together in the 2010 rom-com, "Valentine's Day," and reports back then alleged that they had great chemistry. However, the two were still very much married to their respective spouses, with whom they had three kids, respectively.

"As soon as they started talking, the spark was evident to both of them," the alleged insider claimed. "Jen was relieved - and excited."

"Patrick has been treating her like a queen," the alleged insider added. "It's refreshing after Ben, who made her feel like a nag and a nuisance."

"Jen is so happy. She's almost like a teenager with a crush. It's been so long since she's felt this way with anyone."

For his part, Patrick Dempsey is "torn" and that's because "he feels guilty about his kids. But his feelings for Jen are growing."

But Gossip Cop insisted there's no truth to the rumor that Jennifer Garner is dating former "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey.

It said, "The magazine has no explanation for why it claimed in September that Garner and Ben Affleck were back together because she was 'pregnant' if she was really 'secretly dating' Dempsey for a 'few months.'"

"Allow Gossip Cop to tell you why: OK! is full of crap," the article added. "Garner wasn't pregnant in September, and she's not (nor was she ever) dating Dempsey. A rep for Dempsey even laughed when asked about the new cover story's nonsense allegations. And we're exclusively told the claims are flat-out untrue."
