Patrick Dempsey’s wife files for divorce from the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star

Patrick Dempsey’s wife, Jillian Fink, has filed for divorce from the actor made famous as “McDreamy� on “Grey’s Anatomy.�

Dempsey and Fink made the decision to split “with careful consideration and mutual respect� and are focused on their kids’ well-being, his rep said in a statement to several outlets.

TMZ, which first reported the filing Friday, said the two don’t have a prenuptial agreement to guide them through parceling out an estimated $40 million brought in during their union.

The couple tied the knot in July 1999, six years before “Grey’s� would launch its successful run on TV. It was the actor’s second marriage.

Dempsey, 49, and Fink, a makeup artist, have three kids together: 12-year-old Tallulah Fyfe and 7-year-old twins Sullivan and Darby.
