10. Patrick Dempsey and Jillian Fink
Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey surprised everyone when it was announced in January 2015 that his wife of almost 16 years, Jillian Fink, had filed for divorce. Following the news there were reports of fighting in the relationship, and Dempsey’s Malibu home went up for sale; however, reports quickly went quiet and later in the year in November photographs popped up of the two holding hands while strolling around Paris. It seems the pair are continuing to work on their relationship and have not moved forward with their divorce proceedings.

The two got back together and in December 2018 finally said “I Do” in a private wedding.
