I grew up in a house full of women. I have two older sisters and my mum who is a very strong woman.

I'm really happy to have a family and a life outside of the business.

Now I'm just known as McDreamy, I've lost all identity as Patrick Dempsey, I'm now McDreamy.

If biking is your passion, set aside time to enjoy a good ride.

If I can sleep in until 9 A.M. - wow, what a luxury.
