Patrick Dempsey is everywhere
McDreamy is out and about picking up awards, visiting talkshows and doing press for his movie “Freedom Writers” with Hilary Swank. All the while plugging Grey’s Anatomy. The thing I love about Patrick is that he is always very candid. During the whole nasty fight on the set, he was the very first one to say something to the press to try to diffuse the situation. And I still just love him for sticking up for TR (if that’s what was truly going on). Anyway, he did an interview with Life Magazine and had some interesting things to say about his family:
“Fatherhood is the most important thing. Everything else is a joke,” he tells Life magazine in its new issue, about being at home with his wife Jillian, a makeup artist, and the couple’s 4-year-old daughter, Talula. They are also expecting twin sons this winter.
“Now,” says Dempsey, who turns 41 on Saturday, “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?’ ”
One way, he reveals, is to go to couples therapy. “Yeah, we go in for checkups and go ‘Hey, here’s what we need to work on,’ ” he says. “We’ve had a very good relationship from the beginning, but you run into things you have to work through.”
He also adds that therapy “is easier than fighting with someone.”
There are also some remedies that he delivers at home. “Reading to my daughter has been therapeutic,” says Dempsey, who is dyslexic. “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.”
