Patrick Dempsey, 60, has been married to his wife Jillian Fink for 27 years, sharing three children. Jillian, a high-profile hairstylist since the early 1990s, boasts an impressive A-list clientele and has launched two successful makeup brands.
The couple's fairytale meeting occurred in 1994 when Dempsey spontaneously visited Jillian's hair salon. Though both were in other relationships, they stayed in touch through his regular haircuts over three years.
Once both single, Dempsey asked Jillian out, leading to their marriage on July 31, 1999, at his family's farmhouse in Maine. Their wedding day was marked by deep emotion, with Jillian's sister noting Dempsey's tears. They later welcomed their daughter Talula in 2002, followed by twin sons Sullivan and Darby in 2007.

However, they actively worked through their issues and reconciled. Dempsey later shared his commitment to their marriage, stating he wasn't prepared to let it go.
