Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian Fink are the proud parents of three children, Talula Fyfe and twins Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick.
The Grey's Anatomy alum, 60, previously admitted it was "very challenging" raising his children in Hollywood, but he and Jillian have tried to keep "a good, calm, loving, safe environment for them."
"They need to find out how they interact in the world, they need to learn those boundaries, they need to make mistakes," he told People. "And you need to be there for them and allow them to learn from that."
Patrick revealed that his kids are very "disciplined" and "want to have their own identity," by creating very different paths from each other.

Talula is Patrick and Jillian's eldest child, born on February 20, 2002. She and her dad have a very close relationship and enjoyed many activities together when she was a child.
"We talk about all kinds of things. We listen to the news and discuss it," Patrick told Parade in 2008. "I remember when I would do stuff with my father and my mother. You want those moments. They go by very quickly, so you try to get them in when you can."
