Ellen Pompeo On Work And Motherhood

Ellen Pompeo and Grey's Anatomy costar Patrick Dempsey grace the cover of TV Guide this month, and inside Ellen opens up about how she balances work and being a mom to Stella Luna, 1, her daughter with husband Chris Ivery.

"It's very challenging," she admits. "I bring her here as often as I can, but sometimes I have my moments where I am not the nicest person here because I feel very stressed that I want to get home to her."

But Ellen recently talked about the importance of also taking care of oneself in order to be an effective parent. "We have to do it for them. We’re so busy being martyrs a lot of the time, doing everything for them. Well, this is for them. Taking care of yourself is for them.”

Ellen Pompeo & Chris Ivery’s Beach Babe

Ellen Pompeo and her husband Chris Ivery were spotted strolling with their adorable 7-month-old daughter Stella on the beach in Malibu, Calif. on Saturday (April 24).

The family of three brought along the family dogs as they enjoyed a lazy beach stroll. Baby Stella even tried to walk alongside the cute pups.

Glad to see the Grey's Anatomy star taking a day off with her family! The 40-year-old new mom recently talked about not taking a full maternity leave.

A lot of people couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t take my maternity leave. [She took four weeks off.] I make a good living, but I won’t always make this kind of money. I felt I needed to work while I had this opportunity. The writers and producers were really gracious and wrote my scenes so I could preshoot them. I didn’t have to miss any episodes.”
