Ellen Pompeo and husband Chris Ivery wear masks on family stroll… as Grey’s Anatomy writers work on season 17

Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo took a stroll with her husband Chris Ivery and their three-year-old son Eli Christopher near their home in LA’s Los Feliz neighborhood on Monday.

The married couple of 12 years protected themselves with matching black masks, which California Governor Gavin Newsom made mandatory statewide in public places last Thursday.

Mayor Eric Garcetti extended the stay-at home order indefinitely due to the 83K confirmed COVID-19 cases in LA County, which has led to 3,121 deaths as of Monday – according to Johns Hopkins University.

‘Have you NEVER seen greys anatomy? @EllenPompeo has lived most of her career in a face mask and she’s still kicking.’
