Ellen Pompeo, star of the hit series Grey's Anatomy, and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, People magazine confirms.
Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, which was the actress' birthday.
"She was surprised and thrilled," the actress's rep said.
Hopefully this union lasts a tad longer than Jason Alexander and Britney Spears... but chances are Ellen and Chris will top their effort.
Pompeo's longtime boyfriend finally presented her with a ring, finally making it official after nearly three years of dating. The two are both Boston-area natives and actually grew up minutes away from each other, although they didn't meet until pals introduced them in Los Angeles in 2003.
"We were friends for six months; then one night she just looked different to me," Ivery said.
Where and when will the wedding take place? Don't expect Ellen Pompeo to be dishing on that anytime soon. But she's happy.
"We were six degrees our whole lives, so I feel like we were sort of meant to be. We'll get married eventually, secretly."
Reports say he popped the question casually after breakfast in the couple's L.A. home. Sounds a lot less creative than Jack Black's courting methods.

Who is anyone else to judge someone's happiness. I say both other's who had the nerve to comment can piss off.
Good for you, Ellen. Many happy years together!!

These two people are obviously happy and I wish them the best. I can't believe the racial BS that some people choose to expose all of us too. What and whom either of these people choose to marry or not marry is none of your dam business. get over it!! idiot. Did anyone ever think about what he also has to endure from people of both races. Good luck and godspeed to you both!!

People on here are stupid. They are in love, it doesn't matter about their color but about whats in the inside. Maybe YOU should learn it.

Could he love her if her blood was diluted with African...I think not. To the pious posters who deny the issue of race in these matters, get your head out of the sand. And man is he one deathly ugly miscegenecist. There goes that arm of the caucasian genetic line.

Omg she is so pretty and i think he is ugly. But if they are happy (they look it :] ) then that to be honest is all that matters.
Some people make me laugh though, why are you honestly using this website. Viewed by all cultures, to be racist. You need to get a grip a life and a brain. & Trust white people are not devils :S
