Dempsey holding hands with estranged wife

Patrick Dempsey and his estranged wife have been spotted holding hands in Paris. The former ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star and his make-up artist spouse split in January but appeared to be enjoying a romantic day out in the French capital over the weekend. They visited the Pont des Arts, also known as the Love Lock Bridge, where couples attach padlocks to the railings as a sign of their love. And Jillian shared a picture of herself at the Picasso Mania exhibit at the Grand Palais. Patrick, 49, has been in England recently filming the new ‘Bridget Jones’ movie, while Jillian has been Jennifer Lawrence’s make-up artist on the ‘Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2’ press tour in Europe. Back in January, Jillian, 48, who married the actor in July 1999, filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences and is seeking joint custody of their 12-year-old daughter, Tallulah Fyfe, and seven-yearold twin sons, Sullivan Patrick and Darby Galen. She is also requesting spousal and child support, and a source told gossip website TMZ.com: “She’s all about the kids.” The actor has an estimated $40 million fortune and the former couple did not have a prenuptial agreement. Patrick, who was married to Rocky Parker from 1987 to 1994, previously credited Jillian for helping him to stay grounded. He said: “The best part about being married is feeling centered. Nothing else matters so much as long as you can come home and be with your family.” But he also admitted they were both very independent people. He said: “She’ll do things on her own so she can come back and be much more patient with the kids. I go car racing.”
