Celebrities Making Headlines: An Engagement, A Pregnancy, and An Overdue Break Up

AN ENGAGEMENT

A “Grey’s Anatomy” star has found her real life “Dr. McDreamy” and now the two want to spend the rest of their lives together. According to various media outlets, Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged.

News reports says Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, (which happened to be the star’s 37th birthday) with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting.

“She was surprised and thrilled,” the actress’s rep told reporters.

Pompeo and Ivery are both Boston-area natives, who happened to grow up minutes away from each other, though they didn’t meet until friends introduced them in Los Angeles in 2003. No wedding date has been set, though Pompeo says when they do it will be done “in secret.”

A PREGNANCY

“Boston Legal’s” Julie Bowen and husband Scott Phillips, a real-estate investor, will be adding to their family next year. Bowen tells news reporters that she is 4-months pregnant with the couple’s first child.

Bowen says she wants to be surprised by the baby’s sex and also revealed that she’s enlisted “Project Runway” finalist (and fellow expectant mom) Laura Bennett for help with maternity fashion: “I called her up and asked her to make me a dress. I love her style, she dressed herself very well pregnant.”

Bowen and Phillips have been married since September 2004.

AN OVERDUE BREAK-UP

Their on-again-off-again relationship was enough to give a person whiplash. Now, according to PEOPLE magazine, Jude Law and Sienna Miller have finally split for good.

“It’s a mutual decision,” a pal of the actor told the magazine of ending the roller-coaster romance. “They have definitely come to the end of the road. They tried to make it work but it failed.”

You’ll remember back in 2004, Law asked Miller to be his wife, but Miller broke off the engagement after Law’s affair with his children’s nanny, Daisy Wright, was exposed the following year.

The couple’s engagement followed a very public divorce battle between Law and his former wife, actress Sadie Frost. According to PEOPLE, Law’s closeness to his children and by default to Frost was an ongoing source of tension in his relationship with Miller.

To which a friend of Law’s said: “Jude and Sadie have a very friendly relationship for the sake of the kids but they are not getting back together. It’s pretty amazing seeing how calm it is for the kids with them but they are definitely not an item again.”

Do you think this split is for good?
