Ellen is known for her work in Grey’s Anatomy. She’s excited to be reunited with some of the costars she worked with to present an award at the 2024 Emmy Awards on Monday night. She’s not only a talented actress but also a loving mother to her three kids, Stella Luna, Sienna May, and Eli Chris whom she shares with her husband Chris Ivery who is a record producer, and sometimes a writer. Ellen, who is always busy, said on The Ellen DeGeneres in 2017, that she would be “nowhere without her baby nurse” considering her “long” days on set.

Ellen and Chris love their adorable girls but couldn’t resist adding a third to the mix. Welcome Eli, the baby boy who was born in 2016. I make a lot of mistakes. Ellen said to InStyle in 2018 you just have to learn. You could feel guilty and beat yourself up a lot because kids are so honest and open. You can’t have a victim’s mentality.
