Ellen Pompeo: Happy With Her Body

Ellen Pompeo leaves her house and runs some errands on Friday afternoon (March 26) in Hollywood Hills, Calif.

The 40-year-old Grey’s Anatomy actress recently told Self what happened when she got pregnant with Stella Ivery: “I went up a pants size. I was in size 25 jeans and went to 26. I gained 26 pounds. Now, after the baby, I weigh 10 pounds more than I ever have.”

Ellen added, “I love it, because everyone always told me I was too skinny before, and I thought, Oh, God, what if there are 14-year-olds who think I’m not eating, and then they don’t eat? Do I have a responsibility? But really, I don’t care if people think I’m too skinny. This is my body. If they don’t like it, screw it. [My weight] doesn’t matter to me. I have a healthy baby.”
