On Tuesday, during her Hollywood Walk Of Fame ceremony, Ellen Pompeo shared a heartfelt kiss with her spouse of eighteen years upon receiving her star.

The 55-year-old woman, well-known from her role on Grey’s Anatomy, seemed incredibly happy with her partner, as she moved closer to share a kiss.

Additionally, the observer enclosed both arms around their midriff, while Chris, aged 57, gently embraced them by placing one arm across their shoulders and the other on their elbow, creating a tight hug.

Ellen, whose net worth is estimated at $150M by Celebrity Net Worth, couldn’t hide her joy as she indulged in a heartfelt public display of affection, complete with hand-holding.

Also with the lovebirds, who first started dating in 2003, were two of their three children. 

On the bustling Hollywood sidewalk, the popular TV figure was accompanied by her teenage daughter Stella Luna, who seemed to tower over her, as well as her younger son Eli, aged eight.

Her daughter named Sienna May, born in 2014, was not seen. 

Chris used to work in the music industry. He was writer on Rihanna’s song Cheers (Drink to That).

Currently, Ivey is involved in the world of fashion. Since 2019, Ivey has been part of the team at Sergio Tacchini, an athletic brand steeped in history that was established by the Italian tennis champion in 1966.

The actress was getting her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday when Chris kissed her. 

The matriarch gleamed with delight upon receiving the accolade from Tinseltown, adorning herself in a pink mock-neck blouse, a black skirt embellished with a red lava pattern, and fashionable strappy shoes.

In her speech, Pompeo talked about her children.

She expressed, “Things don’t become reality quickly or effortlessly; they require collective effort. I adore you, Stella. I adore you, Eli,” was her statement.

Additionally, she expressed gratitude towards Shonda Rhimes, who addressed Pompeo’s event. In her speech, she acknowledged that Shonda enabled her to build a career, earn an income, and raise a family, stating: ‘Shonda made it possible for me to have a career, earn a living, and be a mother.’

This comes after she talked about Grey’s on Good American Family. 

The actress openly acknowledged harboring doubts about playing the role of Kristine Barnett, who is the adoptive mother of Natalia Grace, a woman from Ukraine suspected of falsifying her age.

She reminisced to People, saying, “I was amazed, ‘This is powerful! How on earth will we manage to execute this?'” upon reading the script.

I repeated what I frequently say, “This isn’t my cup of tea.” However, those around me persuaded me strongly that I really ought to give this a serious thought and consider taking action.

Before actually meeting Barnett, Pompeo took steps to immerse herself in the role by reading parenting guides and police reports prior to filming.

She clarified that acting isn’t merely about emotions, but also requires a strong connection between feelings and physical expression. In other words, it’s crucial to blend emotional intensity with physical movement.

You need to psych yourself up and achieve the right mindset to convincingly perform those lines and give an authentic performance.

She added: ‘You need to build yourself up emotionally to convincingly perform certain lines and achieve an authentic portrayal. It can be challenging, as you must venture into troubling mental territories and endure discomfort.’

Pompeo remarked that “some of the things she had to perform and express on set were incredibly challenging.

 

Despite the significant change from portraying her cherished character Meredith Grey, the Golden Globe-nominated actress drew upon her motherhood and personal life experiences to mold her performance as Barnett.

She clarified that every mother aims to offer boundless love and exert all her abilities to provide her kids with the greatest opportunities. Since I’m a mom of three, empathy for a mother’s affection and dedication is where my journey began.

The star also raved about working with Imogen Faith Reid, who was cast as Natalia. 

‘We probably had a two or three-hour Zoom, and we just really hit it off,’ Pompeo said. 

‘I realized that this was the way to succeed, with her on board. Indeed, she proved me right by performing admirably.’

Later on, Calamity Jane’s founder, Pompeo, pondered over the impact that her years collaborating with Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes during their time together had on the projects she chose to pursue.

She shared that her experience collaborating with Shonda was nothing short of exceptional, as she revolutionized television for good. From this, she has gained invaluable knowledge, stating, “I’ve learned from the master.

Pompeo expressed a desire to share diverse tales, encompassing an array of individuals from various backgrounds.

As a dedicated follower, I’d like to share an insightful point: Good American Family serves as an illuminating project that reveals our human tendency to form judgments about others. This is often influenced by preconceived notions stemming from people’s appearances or the way they sound.

At times, it can be beneficial and other times detrimental. It might serve as a protective mechanism, but we believe we’re preserving ourselves. However, what truly benefits us is reduced judgment and increased acceptance, a mom of three emphasized.

The upcoming eight-part series, slated for release on March 19, delves into the history of the Barnett family, their adoptions, and the subsequent happenings.

Born in Ukraine, Grace received a diagnosis of congenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, an uncommon type of dwarfism.

She was adopted by the Barnetts in 2010, and her name was legally changed to Natalia Grace Barnett.

Kristine and Michael became wary about her stated age following the adoption, and subsequently requested a court to amend her birth records, shifting her reported birth year from 2003 to 1989.

In 2013, her legal age was altered to 22 years old. Following that, the Barnetts secured an apartment for Grace and subsequently relocated to Canada prior to their divorce in 2018.

In the years that followed, Grace found a new home with Cynthia and Antwon Mans. They officially adopted her in 2023, once it was confirmed that her birth year had been corrected to 2003.

Later that same year, she moved out of Mr. Man’s residence and started cohabiting with Nicole and Vince DePaul in New York City.

In early 2025, Grace is gearing up for self-reliant life and shared with PEOPLE that she’s working on getting her driver’s license and is also focusing on earning her GED.
