Patrick Dempsey's wife Jillian Fink has filed for divorce to end their 15 year-marriage.
The Grey's Anatomy star's wife cited irreconcilable difference as the reason for the split and is asking for joint custody of their three kids, 12-year-old Tallulah and seven-year-old twin boys Sullivan and Darby, as well as spousal and child support.
The couple announced the news in a joint statement, which reads,
"It is with careful consideration and mutual respect that we have
decided to end our marriage. Our primary concern remains the
well-being of our children, and we ask with profound gratitude that
you respect our family's privacy at this very sensitive time."
They tied the knot in 1999. Dempsey was previously married to
actress Rocky Parker.
