Ellen Pompeo captures family moment at Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Ceremony
Rewritten Article:
Ellen Pompeo's recent Hollywood moment was one for the books, and it wouldn't have been complete without her beloved family in tow. The Grey's Anatomy powerhouse, 55, collected her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on a sunny Tuesday, April 29th, exuding sheer pride as she stood arm-in-arm with her better half, Chris Ivery, and two of their three kids - Stella, 15, and Eli, 8.
Photographers snapped away as Pompeo embraced her kids, with Stella stealing the spotlight in a black-and-white polka-dot dress and white heels, while daughter Stella smartly accessorized with a matching clutch. Eli, meanwhile, looked dashing in navy suit and white tee, and Dad Ivery kept it casual yet chic in grey trousers, a vest, and a crisp white button-down. The whole family was nothing but smiles, saving a special mention for Pompeo's youngest, Sienna, who was unable to attend the ceremony.
Stella shared the love, and Pompeo made sure to include Sienna in the festivities, shouting, "Everybody say Sienna because she's not here!" A sweet sentiment indeed for the fans clamoring for photos.
During her acceptance speech, Pompeo paid tribute to those who had held her up throughout her journey. "This doesn't happen overnight, and it doesn't happen easily," she said, her words echoing through the crowd. "It takes a village." Speaking to the challenges faced by many women in showbiz, Pompeo dedicated her moment to her little division of that village—her girl Stella and Eli, her husband of 18 years, Chris Ivery.
Pompeo also extended a heartfelt thank you to Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes, who was in attendance, praising her for opening doors, providing opportunities, and empowering countless women within the industry.
In an earlier conversation with Jennifer Hudson on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Pompeo shared a laugh about her family's rather unusual relationship with her iconic medical drama. As it turns out, Chris Ivery, Pompeo's husband of 18 years, hadn't bothered to watch it back when it was all the rage. Meanwhile, Stella—then a devoted fan—had to put the brakes on her Grey's Anatomy binge when the emotional storylines became too heavy for her tender heart.
But despite their differing enthusiasm for Grey's Anatomy, they all came out to celebrate Pompeo's big day—a beautiful fusion of stardom and motherhood, straight outta Tinseltown.
