Who is Ellen Pompeo's husband Chris Ivery?

Pompeo has become a household name of sorts ever since she took on the role of Dr Meredith Grey in 'Grey's anatomy'. She married to Chris Ivery in 2007 and she has been very low-key about her relationship.

Very little is known about Ivery other than the fact that he is Pompeo's husband. Ivery worked in the music industry as a record producer for nearly 30 years. His most famous project includes working as a writer on Rihanna's song 'Cheers (Drink to That)' from her 5th studio album 'Loud'.

Pompeo and Ivery met at an LA grocery store. After spending six months as close friends, Ivery confessed to having feelings, which led to them dating for three years before eventually marrying. The couple considered their relationship as the one written in the stars, as per People. "I feel like we were sort of meant to be," said the actress.

While the pair has spent more than a decade together, Ivery has admitted to not being comfortable watching Pompeo's intimate scenes with co-star Patrick Dempsey. "I remember in the beginning it was really hard for him. He was like, 'This is not what I signed up for. You go to work and make out with that. I like Patrick [Dempsey] and everything, he's a good dude, but like really?'” she said on the Ladies First with Laura Brown podcast in 2021.

The record producer has also asked the actress to give her work a rest. “He did say the other day, he said, 'Don't you think you could work a little less now?'" Pompeo said on E! News' Daily Pop in 2021. 

However, Ivery was not at all intimidated by her workaholic-like attitude and constantly supports her career. Pompeo told People in 2018 that Ivery was completely on board with her work. Her bossy nature did come as a problem and knew knows how to take care of it as well. "Occasionally, I get told, 'I don't work for you, don't speak to me like that,' which is okay. I need to hear it if I'm not coming correct," she said.
