Not ready to let go? Patrick Dempsey is still wearing his wedding ring, even though his wife Jillian Fink filed for divorce last week after 15 years of marriage.
The Grey’s Anatomy star, dressed in all black, went for a run on the beach in Los Angeles on Thursday, Jan. 29 with his wedding band in tow. McDreamy was also spotted with his ring on at the IMSA 24-hour auto race at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Fla., just two days after Us Weekly confirmed their marriage had come to an end.
According to divorce papers, it was Fink who first wanted out of the relationship.
She filed for the dissolution of their marriage on Jan. 21, citing irreconcilable differences. Dempsey’s now estranged wife is seeking spousal support, joint custody of their three kids — Tallulah Fyfe, 12, and twins Sullivan Patrick and Darby Galen, 7 — and is requesting that Dempsey pay her attorney fees.
“It is with careful consideration and mutual respect that we have decided to end our marriage,” the soon-to-be exes said in a joint statement to Us on Friday, Jan. 23. “Our primary concern remains the well being of our children, and we ask with profound gratitude that you respect our family’s privacy at this very sensitive time.”
Dempsey’s been vocal about struggling with balancing his work and life at home. “It would be nice to be one-pointed and not spread so thin sometimes,” he told the Associated Press prior to news of the split. “I think where I’m going is to really streamline and be much more specific in balancing things a little bit better than I have in the past.”
