Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery Steal the Spotlight on Rare Date Night at Oscars 2025!

It’s time for a date night, stat.

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Avery, who have been married since 2007 and are parents to Stella (age 17), Sienna (age 11), and Eli (age 8), made a rare appearance together at the Vanity Fair 2025 Oscars party for a romantic date night.

The pair, who have been married since 2007 and are parents to Stella (17), Sienna (11), and Eli (8), were all radiant as they struck poses for photographers at the glamorous post-event gathering. Chris sported a large black suit and tie, while Ellen chose a deep-necked long-sleeved black dress. The Grey’s Anatomy star left her hair loose and added sparkle with diamond jewelry, a black and gold handbag, and a fur coat casually slung over one shoulder (Check out all the celebrities at the after-party here).

On the eve of their outing, the couple finds Ellen engrossed in preparations for the debut of ‘Good American Family’, a significant acting venture for her outside ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ since she assumed the role of Meredith Grey on Shonda Rhimes’ blockbuster 20 years ago. The series, premiering on Hulu on March 19, revolves around the life of Natalia Grace, and Ellen portrays her mother, aged 55.

By confining her acting roles solely to Grey’s, she managed to give priority attention to her family life, which includes her husband Chris and their children.

2022 found me juggling quite a bit on The Drew Barrymore Show, as a devoted mother of three. With the responsibility of nurturing these precious little souls comes an unwavering commitment to their well-being, which means being ever-present in their lives.

Meanwhile, Ellen shared that although she has cherished devoting time to raising her children with Chris, she feels prepared to embark on fresh endeavors in her professional life.

She remarked, “I need to shake things up a bit.” At 53, she feels her mind is as jumbled as scrambled eggs and yearns for novelty. It’s not feasible for her to do the daily crossword of The New York Times all the time.

Ellen explained, “I’m talking about 19 years old, which is older than when most families have their children move out. Typically, parents let their kids leave home once they turn 18 for university, so in a way, it feels like I’m going off to college myself.
