Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey and his wife, Jillian Fink, are celebrating a major milestone: 26 years of marriage.
The couple, who tied the knot in 1999 and share three children — including twin sons Darby and Sullivan — shared a nostalgic photo from their wedding day on Instagram on July 31, 2025.
Patrick captioned the post:
“26 years ago today. I can’t imagine life without you. Thank you for your love, support, and understanding — loving my weaknesses as much as my strengths. You’re an incredible mother and partner. Love you! Happy anniversary!”
Jillian shared the same image, adding a lighthearted note:
“Happy 26th @patrickdempsey 🤍 Found this sweet moment with @mollyrstern fixing my makeup or picking something out of my teeth!”
While many fans praised the couple’s enduring love, reactions were mixed.
Some celebrated the milestone:
“Happy Anniversary! The REAL Mr. and Mrs. McDreamy!”
“Twenty-six years is amazing! And Jillian, your dress is stunning!”
Others focused on the photo choice and Patrick’s grammar, with one user writing:
“Why that pic? And Patrick’s grammar is lacking. 🤦♀️”
More pointed comments questioned the mention of “weaknesses,” with one person joking:
“Is he including her accepting all his affairs???”
Another added: “Usually when they say ‘weakness’ = cheating.”
Despite the online chatter, many fans simply sent well wishes:
“Best wishes to a beautiful couple.”
The anniversary comes just months after the couple celebrated another big moment: their twin sons’ high school graduation.
Patrick shared a rare family photo of the boys in caps and gowns, writing:
“Graduation!! So proud of you boys and can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes you!”
Fans were quick to comment on the family’s striking looks:
“Wow, the DNA is strong in this family!”
“One looks like Dad, one looks like Mom!”
Some offered more detailed observations:
“Both have Patrick’s small mouth, but the dark-haired one has Jillian’s cheekbones.”
“The blonde twin actually looks more like Patrick.”
A few joked:
“Jillian and Sullivan are twins. Patrick and Darby are twins.”
Though most praised the boys’ looks, a few disagreed:
“Don’t look like him at all.”
The graduation followed the twins’ 18th birthday in February, which both parents celebrated online.
Patrick posted:
“Happy birthday boys. Love you. I can’t believe you’re 18!!!”
Jillian shared a playful message:
“This is what 18-year-olds let their mom post 😅 Already 1 foot out the door… or 4 feet out.”
“You’ll always be my babies. I love you both!”
While Patrick keeps his family life private, Jillian often shares glimpses of their children — offering fans a rare window into the life of Hollywood’s favorite real-life McDreamy and his family.
