Patrick Dempsey and his twin son on the red carpet

Actor Patrick Dempsey, known for his role as McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy, recently made a stylish red carpet appearance with his family. While they all looked incredibly fashionable, it was his 16-year-old twin son Darby who caught everyone’s attention. Darby’s striking resemblance to his handsome dad has sparked quite a buzz.

Fans couldn’t help but comment on the uncanny resemblance between Patrick and Darby. One person wrote, “OMG! His son, the one on the right side of the photo, is his clone! 😳😳” Another fan even dubbed Darby as “the next McDreamy,” referencing Patrick’s iconic character on Grey’s Anatomy.

But good looks definitely run in the Dempsey family. Patrick and his wife Jillian are proud parents of three children. They welcomed their daughter Talula in 2002 and later had twin boys Darby and Sullivan in 2006.

Having a bigger family has been a joy for Patrick, as he mentioned in an interview. “I love having a big family. I think it’s easier, oddly, in some ways, having three children as opposed to one. And it’s been great for my relationship with my wife and our life and everything,” he shared.

However, like any parent, Patrick has also faced challenges as his children entered their teenage years. He understands the need to give them space and allow them to explore their independence. “Because you need to be around, but they don’t want you around because they’re fighting for their independence, which they should,” he explained in an interview. “They need to find out how they interact in the world, they need to learn those boundaries, they need to make mistakes. And you need to be there for them and allow them to learn from that.”

After years of being a runner-up, Patrick finally received the well-deserved title of “Sexiest Man Alive.” When asked how his children would react, he humorously mentioned that they would probably tease him.

It’s clear that the Dempsey family not only shares good looks but also a strong bond. Patrick and his children continue to make waves with their style and charm.
