At the Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony, Ellen Pompeo appears in a unique family photo with her husband Chris Ivery and two of their children.
Ellen Pompeo had a special family moment at her Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony on April 29, where she was honored with a star. Her husband Chris Ivery and two of their kids, Stella Luna (15) and Eli (9), joined her for the event, making a rare public appearance.
Stella looked elegant in a black polka-dot dress and tan heeled sandals, standing taller than her mom in front of the engraved star, while Eli sported a navy suit with a white T-shirt, looking more grown-up than ever. Ellen herself kept it classy in a salmon turtleneck top and black midi skirt with a frilled hem.
Notably absent was their 10-year-old daughter, Sienna, whom Ellen made sure to acknowledge by telling photographers, "Everybody say Sienna because she’s not here!"

During her speech, Ellen expressed gratitude to her family, saying, "This doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen easily. It takes a village. I love you, Stella. I love you, Eli." She also thanked Shonda Rhimes, the creator of Grey’s Anatomy, for giving her the opportunity to balance her career and motherhood. A beautiful moment for a beloved actress.
In her own remarks, Shonda Rhimes expressed her gratitude for working with the Old School star, echoing that sentiment.
At the April 29 ceremony, the creator of Scandal told the audience, "The world sees Meredith Grey when they see Ellen's face, and Ellen wears Meredith Grey quite well. But for all the Meredith we see, for those of us who have the honor of knowing her, the person we see is Ellen and that is the most important role she can play. She is at her best when she is just herself."
It’s clear their partnership shaped Grey’s Anatomy into the powerhouse it is today.
Ana Martinez, the producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, also shared a collaboration post tag on Instagram alongside photographer Oscar Del Aguila and the official Hollywood Walk of Fame account to celebrate Ellen Pompeo's well-earned star.
Martinez has long been involved in organizing these prestigious ceremonies, ensuring that Hollywood’s biggest names receive their well-deserved recognition. Pompeo’s star marks a major milestone in her career, honoring her dedication and unforgettable performances, especially in Grey’s Anatomy.
It’s always great to see these moments celebrated!
