After three Grey's Anatomy weddings in quick succession, it stood to reason that the next change to the Grey's Anatomy family would concern a bouncing baby. Less than two years after Ellen Pompeo, Kate Walsh, and Katherine Heigl all walked down the aisle, where are these three Grey's Anatomy stars in their personal lives today?

Ellen Pompeo, star of the popular television drama, is pregnant, according to her publicist this weekend. Ellen Pompeo is married to music producer Chris Ivery, and this will be their first child together. People Magazine reports that Pompeo has already started shopping for baby gear!

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery weren't the only couple to become newleyweds early in Grey's Anatomy's run. Also engaged during the same time period were Pompeo's co-stars Katherine Heigl (to musician *Josh Kelley*) and Kate Walsh (to movie executive *Alex Young*). The three co-stars each wed in 2007, with Walsh kicking off the wedding season in September, Pompeo following in November, and Heigl squeaking in before year's end in December.

Unfortunately, Kate Walsh's story doesn't seem to be ending with the addition of another family member, but the loss of one, instead. In fact, Kate Walsh (now starring in *Private Practice*) and her husband filed for divorce after just 15 months of marriage, in late 2008.

With two extremes, Katherine Heigl and her husband Josh Kelley have managed to continue their relationship without too much drama and stress—still married, but not hearing the pitter-patter of little feet just yet. Heigl's future on Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Izzie Stevens continues to be up in the air, as the rest of the season's plotline remains hush-hush. With that and hectic schedules for both her and Kelley, it's likely that there won't be a baby for Heigl and Kelley just yet.

So, with three weddings in less than 4 months, the stars of Grey's Anatomy find themselves in markedly different situations—a divorce and a new television show for Kate Walsh, a busy work schedule and happy marriage for Katherine Heigl, and a baby on the way for Ellen Pompeo. At least the popular children's nursery rhyme appears to be ringing true for one of the celebrities in 2009.
