Grey's Engagement

Ellen Pompeo, 37, and her boyfriend of nearly three years, Chris Ivery, are engaged, Pompeo's rep confirms to Us Weekly. Ivery proposed on Friday -- which was also the actress' birthday -- with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond and platinum ring by Tacori.

Pompeo plays Meredith Grey on the hit ABC medical dramedy Grey’s Anatomy.

The couple met in an L.A. grocery store. Though Pompeo wasn't interested in a date originally, she agreed to go out with Ivery when they bumped into each other again six months later.

Though the couple has not yet set a date or location for the big day, Pompeo has told Us, "My boyfriend and I travel to Italy quite often and I think that’s always the most romantic for us. We went to Bologna and he has family there and I think that’s our favorite place."

I don't know about y'all, but this guy looks to me like he bats for the other team. That plus a marriage in Italy? Before you know it these two will be revealing Suri II for the first time when she's 4 years old.
