The year after her birth, in 2010, Pompeo appeared on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and said that Ivery was particularly loving matching moments for himself and baby Stella, the couple’s first child. Said Pompeo, “He loves dressing her up like him. He goes out and buys her clothes that look like his clothes,” according to The Huffington Post.
In a 2015 interview on “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” Pompeo said that, at the time, Stella wanted to be an emergency room doctor when she grows up. “She loves coming to set, and every time she comes to set … [she wants] to play with all the medical things, all the fake organs,” recounted Pompeo.
Even with all that time on the “Grey’s Anatomy” set, Stella just discovered the series, Pompeo revealed during her June 2023 Variety Actors on Actors interview. “Everyone in her class in the sixth grade had, which I thought was a bit crazy, knowing what’s in the first seasons,” said Pompeo. “She was like, ‘Mom, I’m the only one who hasn’t seen it.’ So I said OK. In the summer, she started watching it. And at first I was like, ‘Oh, this is so amazing, and we’re going to watch it together.’ Then it was episode after episode after episode, and I was like, ‘I don’t have the stamina for this!’ “
