Ellen Pompeo, 39, and Chris Ivery, 41, a music producer, tied the knot at a small ceremony in 2007 and announced they were expecting this April.

“It’s a huge lifestyle change, and I take that very seriously,” she said of motherhood. “Chris and I enjoy life so much. We go to Europe and sleep in.”

“So, when I have the baby, I won’t feel like we’ve missed having any fun, reckless times together, like staying up all night drinking champagne and having sex until five in the morning and not having to get up until two in the afternoon.”

A little TMI there, but point well taken and agreed with.

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery are now parents!

Grey’s Anatomy co-star Jessica Capshaw thinks she’ll do fine: “She is so on top of it, and she is so excited, and she is very sweet about it,” Capshaw said.

“She is exactly the way that she should be about it, which is really excited and hopeful but at the same time really pragmatic and planning, doing research.”

Congratulations to Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery, who was recently accused of cheating on his pregnant wife with a teenage Bostonian named Rachel Artz.
