Patrick Dempsey and wife Jillian on Life Magazine
Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey is featured on the cover of this week’s Life Magazine, along with the belly of his pregnant wife, Jillian. The pair are expecting twin boys in the next few weeks, and also have daughter Talula Fyfe, 5. Some highlights from the interview:
On life after kids: "Now making money is about providing for my children. And being a father makes you look at yourself. You look at your marriage and go, ‘How do I improve this? How do I keep growing and create a stable environment for my children?’"
On education (Patrick was diagnosed with dsylexia at age 12): [Education] concerns me now with my children. How do I develop them and their learning styles? Reading to my daughter has been therapeutic. I’ve gone back and started to learn to read on a very basic level. I’m reading Dr. Seuss, and I’m healing that part of myself, as well as developing my daughter.

On Patrick as a father: He’s very hands-on. He’s the first to admit he prefers the more interactive stage of children versus newborns. The newborn phase is difficult for fathers—they don’t feel the connection because babies are all about breast-feeding.
On what Patrick is like with Talula: He’s the doting daddy. As a family, we just love to talk to one another. And with little people, you never know what’s going to come out of their mouths. Sometimes it’s so creative, we crack up.
Diapers for McDreamy? Of course!
But will he get up during the night with the twins? Get back to me in a few months, and I’ll let you know. He has long, demanding hours, but he’s not the type of person who would leave me stranded.
