Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey, 49, and his wife, makeup artist Jillian Fink, have announced they are splitting after 15 years of marriage, which they confirmed in an exclusive statement to People.

現年49歲的《實習醫生格蕾》（Grey's Anatomy）男星帕特里克·德姆西（Patrick Dempsey）與化妝師妻子吉利安·芬克（Jillian Fink）宣布，他們將結束15年的婚姻生活。兩人在《人物》雜志（People）的一份獨家聲明中證實了這一消息。

"It is with careful consideration and mutual respect that we have decided to end our marriage," the statement reads. "Our primary concern remains the wellbeing of our children, and we ask with profound gratitude that you respect our family's privacy at this very sensitive time."

聲明中說道：“結束婚姻關系這一決定是我們兩人經過慎重考慮以及基于互相尊重的結果。我們的主要關注點仍是孩子的健康成長，因此我們誠摯請求大家在這個敏感時刻尊重我們的家庭隱私?！?/p>

The marriage produced three children: daughter Tallulah Fyfe, 12, and twins Patrick and Darby Galen, 7.

兩人育有三個子女：12歲的女兒泰露拉·菲耶以及一對7歲的雙胞胎，帕特里克和達比·嘉倫。

It had also weathered his career comeback, from struggling former '80s rom-com actor to TV star and his 10 years on the hit ABC medical soap.

這段婚姻同時也經歷了帕特里克的東山再起，見證了他從努力奮斗的80年代浪漫喜劇演員成功轉型電視明星，出演綿延了10年的ABC電視臺熱播醫務肥皂劇《實習醫生格蕾》。

She'd also backed his interest in race-car driving, which can consume time and money as quickly as a supercar burns through fuel. "She was the one to encourage me to go and drive," Dempsey told People in 2007.

德姆西的妻子還很支持他的賽車愛好，雖然賽車消耗時間和金錢的速度快得如同超級跑車的耗油一般。德姆西在2007年對《人物》表示：“她是鼓勵我投身賽車運動的那個人?！?/p>

In fact, Dempsey was away in Florida racing at the 24 Hours of Daytona endurance event when Fink filed divorce papers.

事實上，當芬克提交離婚文件時，德姆西正遠在佛羅里達州參加代托納24小時耐力賽（24 Hours of Daytona）。
