His complete name is also Darby Galen Dempsey. Currently, he doesn’t have a profession, so why would he have a stage name? It’s pretty obvious, no?

Patrick Dempsey, in total, has three kids. Darby was born alongside his twin brother, Sullivan Patrick Dempsey. Darby also has a sister named Talula Fyfe Dempsey.
According to Patrick, when he learned that his 3-member family was about to become a 5-member family, he found it a little overwhelming, honestly.

Will There Be More Addition To The Dempsey Family?

If the reports are to be believed, Patrick and Jillian don’t plan to have any more kids; they are done! Some say that the couple had already decided that before the birth of their twin sons.
And it has now been over 17 years, and they have remained firm on their decision.
The Marital Life Of Patrick & Jillian
Before marrying each other, Jillian and Patrick were in a serious relationship. They made it official on the 31st of July 1999 in a farmhouse in Maine, USA.
Patrick invited only a handful of close friends and relatives to the wedding ceremony. But how did they meet each other?
As mentioned above, Jillian is a make-up artist in Hollywood today, but she started off with a salon. Jillian says that Patrick once came to her salon for a haircut, and that’s where it all began.
Precisely, they were together for about three months before tying the knot, and it was Patrick who, after knowing that she was single, proposed to her.
How Did Their Marital Issues Escalate?
Despite having an ideal relationship, they were still having several husband-wife problems. You know the ones that every couple has.
But, it was clear that their Titanic (marriage) was slowly sinking (falling apart). It did, eventually. In the January of 2015, Jillian reached court and filed a divorce from her husband.
The court asked the couple to talk things through before making a final call. Thanks to the judge, they both spoke about their issues and decided to address them together.
One year later, in November 2016, they mutually decided NOT to get divorced. Because of this decision, it has been more than 25 years since the couple has been married.
