Patrick Dempsey and his wife Jillian Fink were reportedly ''living separate lives for years'' ahead of their split.
Patrick Dempsey's split from Jillian Fink was ''a long time coming.''
The 'Grey's Anatomy' star's wife, who has daughter, Tallulah Fyfe, 12, and seven-year-old twin sons, Sullivan Patrick and Darby Galen with the actor, recently filed for divorce after 15 years of marriage, but they were reportedly ''living separate lives for years.''
A source told PEOPLE magazine: ''It's been a long time coming. They have lived separate lives for years. They are involved in the children's lives separately. Patrick and Jillian have had disagreements for a long time. Emotionally, for Jillian, something was missing.''
The couple, who married in 1999, ''could not have been more opposite,'' according to another source.
Despite their issues, the 49-year-old actor, who was married to his manager Rocky Parker for seven years from 1987 to 1994, never wanted to get a divorce.
The source close to the family said: ''He was married and divorced before, and he has said he never wanted a divorce again because of his kids.''
Patrick 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.''
