Originally appeared on E! Online
Patrick Dempsey is sharing a rare look at his family life.
The Grey’s Anatomy alum and wife Jillian Dempsey celebrated their kids Darby and Sullivan turning 19 with a sweet throwback photo of the duo sound asleep, describing them as “such sweet dream twinnies.”
“Happy birthday to our very creative & charming babies who turn 19 today,” Jillian captioned her and Patrick’s joint post on Instagram Feb. 1, tagging the two teens in the message. “We love you both so much!”
Over the years, Patrick—who is also dad to Talula, 23, with Jillian—has largely kept his kids out of the public eye, reasoning that they “want to have their own identity, separate from me and that shadow.”
“They all have unique qualities and they have their own goals that they need to develop and harvest themselves,” he told People in November 2023. “We try to model our behavior and hopefully they’ll pick up on that.”

While the 60-year-old admitted it’s “very challenging having your children grow up in Hollywood,” he noted that he and Jillian—who wed in 1999—have worked hard to make basic decency a core value within their family.
“Hopefully, they have the right manners,” he continued, “and when they come back in and other parents go, ‘Your children are very polite,’ you’re like, ‘That’s nice to hear.’”
But even though the Made of Honor actor has shielded his kids from the spotlight, he’s made his adoration for them known with heartfelt posts on social media to mark special occasions, including the twins’ high school graduation in June and Talula’s 23rd birthday last February.
“So proud of you,” Patrick wrote alongside a vintage father-daughter pic shared on Instagram. “You’re an amazing human being, kind compassionate and funny and absolutely beautiful inside and out.”
