Ellen Pompeo Discusses Why Her 10-Year-Old Daughter Isn't Ready to Watch 'Grey's Anatomy'

The actress revealed on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' that she prefers her younger daughter wait before watching the show, citing its mature content and her role's intimate scenes.

Ellen Pompeo shared on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' that her 10-year-old daughter, Sienna, is eager to watch 'Grey's Anatomy,' but she feels Sienna is not yet ready due to the show's mature themes.
Pompeo expressed her discomfort with her daughter seeing her in intimate scenes, though she emphasized she does not judge other parents whose children watch the show.
The actress stepped back from her role as Meredith Grey during the show's 19th season in 2023, after nearly two decades, to spend more time with her three children.
Pompeo continues to make occasional appearances on the show and serves as an executive producer, with discussions ongoing about her involvement in future seasons.
The long-running medical drama, now in its 20th season, remains a significant part of ABC's lineup, though its creator, Shonda Rhimes, has previously expressed uncertainty about how and when the series will conclude.
