Is Patrick Dempsey finding comfort in being with his estranged wife, Jillian, amid his alleged feud with Ellen Pompeo and trying to start a new life after being killed off in "Grey's Anatomy"?
"Patrick Dempsey and his estranged wife, Jillian, were seen holding hands during a romantic getaway in the French capital on Sunday, Nov. 8," Us Weekly reported.
"The pair, who split in January after 15 years of marriage, even wore matching outfits - blue jeans and dark sweaters - as they strolled the streets of Paris arm in arm."
There were speculations that Patrick and Jillian's divorce may have had something to do with Ellen Pompeo. According to reports, Ellen may have exposed Dempsey's alleged affair with one of their co-workers in "Grey's Anatomy."

Back when he was freshly killed off "Grey's Anatomy," Patrick Dempsey teared up when Entertainment Weekly asked him about how it was like working with Ellen Pompeo.
"It was magic. It's beautiful. We're like a married couple. It's 10 years, and it was magic from the beginning. Chemistry right away," Patrick reportedly said.
Rumors that Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo are fighting further escalated when the actress said that "Grey's Anatomy" would survive in ratings even without Dr. Shepherd.
"It's like, Annalise Keating carries the show, Olivia Pope carries the show," Ellen Pompeo told Entertainment Weekly, as quoted by Hollywood Life in an earlier report. "But somehow, Meredith Grey needs someone."
Ellen Pompeo referred to the other two Shonda Rhimes shows in the TGIT (Thank God It's Thursday) block - Annalise Keating, played by Viola Davis, on "How to Get Away With Murder," and Olivia Pope, played by Kerry Washington, in "Scandal."
"Why can't I just be the lead of the show the way Annalise and Olivia can? Why can't I be on that poster by myself," the actress added.
