The “Sexiest Man Alive” and his wife Jillian Fink have a handsome mini-me named Sullivan and a 17-year-old boy named Darby.

On February 1, 2007, Patrick Dempsey, 58, and Jillian Fink, also 58, formed a party of five when they welcomed fraternal twin sons Sullivan and Darby, the baby brothers of Talula, who was born in 2002.
The Grey’s Anatomy star admits that when he and Fink found out they were expecting two more kids, they “were a little overwhelmed.”
The celebrity, who was voted People’s “Most Sexiest Man Alive” in 2023, stated, “I think we’re done now.”
Darby, the more “reserved and quiet” of the two, has been clearly distinct from his brother since infancy and has a middle name with his well-known father.
While both inherited their dad’s famed hair, Darby was blond hair while Sullivan had “Sid Vicious black, punk-rock hair.”
The Disenchanted actress remarked, “Sullivan is very funny; he has funny expressions in the way he’s taking things in.”
Like ‘drunk little men’
The endearing father teased that the infants entertained him as they grew into toddlers.
He remarked, “It’s like a slapstick routine watching these drunk little men run around because they’re wobbly,” referring to the time when they were still learning to walk. It’s quite touching to witness something happen that they were unable to accomplish the day before.
Even though Talula, 22, is her father’s little girl, the star of Can’t Buy Me Love claims the boys make him much more active.
“Obviously, boys and girls are very different from one another, but they also have a lot more physical activity! Dempsey said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that “you cannot turn your back [because] there’s always an injury, there’s always something going on” (via People).
‘Family sport’
The racecar fan was thrilled to welcome two new boys into his family and couldn’t wait to take them for a ride around the track. He claims that racing is “such a family sport.”
I believe it transports me back to that time in my early years. I’ve simply always been a vehicle and racing fan. My father was a great admirer of it, I used to collect Matchbox cars and on a Friday night, my dad would always bring me one home,” Dempsey told AP in 2014. The professional race car driver at the time of the Le Mans 24 Hours finished fifth in his class.
“I don’t mind being an actor. There’s just certain difficulties I’d want to have in my acting profession and I haven’t found those roles that have truly made it worthwhile for me to give up a racing season to go do.”
Family affair
Unsurprisingly, the family made their first public appearance together over 17 years later, at the red carpet premiere of Dempsey’s 2023 film Ferrari, in which he played Italian Formula One driver Piero Taruffi.
Fink wore a body-hugging, shimmering gold gown, while Dempsey looked smart in a black suit with a gray shirt and matching tie.
Talulah was spotted holding her father’s arm while the group posed for pictures. She was wearing a stylish black dress.
Sullivan and Darby also showed up in full black.
The boys’ size startled many on the internet. On their birthdays, the boys’ parents frequently post adorable old pictures of them, and many admirers were surprised to learn that Sullivan and Darby had developed into attractive young men.
“Someone got dad’s famous hair,” an admirer of the two teenagers writes.
“Oh my, they’ve grown, as kids do.” Another comments, “The kids have grown up, time flies that’s for sure,” and a third says, “They seemed so much smaller last time.”
A different internet user says, “I had no idea he had twins. Wow, there are two more of him.
As teenagers, Dempsey says, it’s easier to see how different they were as babies.
Darby likes soccer and plays for a squad his dad coaches and Sullivan is displaying an interest in acting.
“I believe you support your children in whatever their interest is. You offer them the option to attempt what they want to do,” Dempsey shared.
