He shared a picture of them on a hike to commemorate the occasion. In the photo, Patrick and Jillian looked happy and content as they enjoyed the outdoors together. Patrick, who is now 57 years old, captioned the shot with a heartfelt message, expressing his love for his wife and acknowledging the amazing journey they have been on together.
In his Instagram post, Patrick was seen wearing a New Era S-Logo trucker hat and a gray athletic coat, while Jillian sported a black sleeveless top with gray leggings and a jacket tied around her waist. Her blonde locks were styled back, and she wore eyeglasses with black frames, proudly showing off her wedding ring and a pair of gold bracelets. He captioned the post, “24 years !! What an amazing path we have been on ! love you ! Happy anniversary.”
Jillian also commemorated their 24th anniversary with an Instagram post, putting up a picture of Patrick alone. Patrick is seen wearing a black t-shirt and shorts, posing for the camera by leaning on a signpost. She captioned the post, “Happy 24th anniversary Paddy, our hike was incredible.”
24 years and running stronger than ever
After enjoying a two-year dating journey, the couple decided to take their relationship to the next level. They exchanged vows and tied the knot in an intimate farmhouse wedding ceremony. The couple got married on July 31, 1999, at Patrick's Maine farmhouse. They are proud parents to three children: a daughter named Tallula, 21, and twin sons named Darby and Sullivan, who are 16.
Jillian Dempsey met Patrick Dempsey for the first time when he was a client at her salon. However, their journey hasn't been without challenges, as they went through a period of separation in January 2015 when Jillian filed for divorce.
The couple worked on their individual and relationship issues, leading to a rekindled romance. Both Patrick and Jillian were committed to fighting for their love, and their determination to stay together paid off as they found their way back to each other.
Jillian is an A-lister celebrity make-up artist
Jillian Dempsey's career as a hairstylist and makeup artist has been highly celebrated since she entered the industry in the early '90s. Beyond her success in running her Los Angeles hair salon (which she later sold in 1998), Jillian's achievements include creating a signature lip gloss for the cast of 'Charlie's Angels' and having her products featured in the 2002 romantic comedy 'Sweet Home Alabama'.
Throughout her career, Jillian has built a star-studded clientele, working with many prominent figures in the entertainment industry. Her expertise lies in mastering color, and she has utilized her skills to found two makeup brands.
Her first makeup collection was named Delux Beauty, which likely showcased her talents and creativity in the cosmetics world. Then, in 2014, she took her passion for cosmetics a step further and launched her own cruelty-free, organic, and vegan makeup line under her namesake, Jillian Dempsey.
Jillian told Beauty Independent in 2021, "With my first brand Delux Beauty, I couldn't afford to do anything natural. The cost of goods would have been too high. I wanted to make my current brand cruelty-free and vegan, utilizing natural and organic materials where I could find ingredients and making it really easy to use."
