Ellen Pompeo, Chris Ivery Engaged!
Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery, her boyfriend of nearly three years, are officially engaged, Us Weekly reports.
Ivery, 38, proposed on Friday -- which was Pompeo's 37th birthday -- with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond and platinum ring by Tacori.
That's quite the birthday gift, but their relationship is laid-back. Chris popped the question after breakfast at home, and following that, he and Ellen proceeded to celebrate with a fairly low-key day.
"We had a great day," Pompeo told People. "We walked on the beach, then we came home, took a shower and went out for sushi. Then we laid on the couch with the dogs and watched TV."
Pompeo has risen to fame as Meredith Grey on Grey’s Anatomy. She has also starred in various movies, including Old School and Moonlight Mile. Ivery is a music producer she met in an L.A. grocery store, and though Pompeo wasn't interested in a date originally, she agreed to go out with Ivery when they bumped into each other again six months later.
That's when they discovered that they grew up 10 miles from each other outside of Boston and that Chris knew Ellen's father.
"I had to go 3,000 miles away to meet a guy who practically grew up next door," Pompeo told the Boston Herald last year. "But I guess everything comes full circle."
Although the couple has not yet set a date or location for the big day, the romantic European destination of Italy might be a good guess.
"My boyfriend and I travel to Italy quite often and I think that’s always the most romantic for us," Pompeo told Us earlier this year. "We went to Bologna and he has family there and I think that’s our favorite place."
Congratulations to the happy couple! It's great that Ellen is happy with her real-life McDreamy. Below is a picture a fan sent us of the two of them taken on the day of their engagement!

I hope that people realize that not all caucasians are as narrow minded and obnoxious as some of these comments by racists on this thread make us seem. This is disgusting to find in this day and age.

Oh my Lord, Then I read into Reverend Lacy's comments. Please don't tell me you buy into her or (it's) lectures. That is not a person whom speaks out of the scriptures, so why buy into it. I'm 48 and am white, and am brought up to no the difference between a God fearing person and one whom hears in satan's tone. That for me is someone you don't wish to go back and forth with, even on this Blog. He or She would not talk like that face to face, but hide themselves. For they would be slain like the swine before all our races. Peace and Blessings.

There is no need to call one another out, let God sort them out in the end. Stick by your belief's and let the others fall as they may. I've read alot of these comments. From one to the other, but in the end, who committed adultery, got what they deserved. If Nichole went that route, well she wandered into the realm of today's society of which there is no return when if dead, you are hereby condemed.She probably didn't confess her sin. Well maybe O.J does given his chances, if that is the case. My point is this, stick with marriage, it's what is commanded of us. If you fool around, it will haunt you to your dying breath. As for the Goldman's, you'll have your day, you hypocrites.

lmao @ people praying she dies because she found LOVE...the one small but ever so important thing that none of these ignorant asses have ever come close to.
i pray a black women opens your eyes haha, i think thats the beauty of life, knowing we are all different(meaning each one of us) but yet so similar.
it surprises me alot that people dont realize that we are all different forms of the same mold, we all have the same parts inside and out, just some peoples ancestors lived closer to the equator than others, so skin shade comes into play there..
its the internet so someone must show hatred i guess, but its just baffling still. i hope you people wake up, but i highly doubt you do, so stay away from the internet and go to a klan rally or actually have the balls to express your terrible views in public for once. have a nice day all!
