Katherine Heigl and Ellen Pompeo film scenes for Grey's Anatomy. It's rare that we get to see them do so out of doors.

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery are preparing to welcome their first child. Hooray for the couple!

Ellen Pompeo shows off her baby bump in this photo as one of her poodles looks on. No word on whether this is Gigi or Valentino.

Pompeo out in force.

Meredith Grey is played by Ellen Pompeo (pictured).

Ellen Pompeo spotted at the grocery store in December 2007. We always love photos of Ellen Pompeo, no matter how casual they might be.

Ellen Pompeo looks great to us - in any photo. The Grey's Anatomy leading lady is down-to-earth and sweet, to boot.

A pretty Pompeo picture, at that. She's the best. We <3 Ellen!

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery secretly married on November 9, 2007, in New York City. Awesome, guys! Congratulations from all of us at Grey's Anatomy Insider.

At least in the opinion of the International Press Academy, which honored Ellen Pompeo with its Golden Satellite Award for best TV actress in a drama series! She's the best, in our opinion, every day.
