Yesterday, Hollywood heartthrob Patrick Dempsey took to Instagram to post a birthday tribute to his twin sons, Darby and Sullivan Dempsey. The boys turned 17, and their doting father shared a cute throwback photo of the two of them sitting with him on a couch.
While Patrick smiled directly at the camera, Darby and Sullivan fixed their gazes on something outside the frame. When people saw the endearing picture, many flooded Patrick’s comment section with praise for his sons.
Speaking of Patrick’s “fine young men,” one fan gushed, “They are so cute.” Another swooned, “McDreamy with his dreamy kids 😍😍😍,” and another Instagrammer noted, “Fine like the father.” Someone else commented, “Happy birthday to your beautiful boys!” Sullivan and Darby’s loving mom, Jillian Dempsey, stated, “Our little man cubs ❤️❤️.”
Patrick and Jillian’s twins were born in February 2007. When they arrived, the “Grey’s Anatomy” alum helped cut their umbilical cords and referenced the hit show when talking about the births. Patrick divulged, “I was watching everything that was going on (with the doctors), and you see a lot of that in the show.”
In addition to their mini McDreamies, Patrick and Jillian are also doting parents to their daughter, Talula Dempsey, who, as previously cited by her dad, takes great “care of her brothers” as an older sister.
Four years ago, the loving family man who won People magazine’s title of the “Sexiest Man Alive” spoke about how his kids continue to amaze him with their “insights and observations.” Of his boys, the father previously disclosed that while Darby is “passionate” about soccer, “Sullivan wants to be an actor.”
Patrick Dempsey also discussed the importance of making time for his family and gushed about how much he enjoys it when they’re all spending time together.
