Darby also shared a post on Instagram with several photos from the day, including the snap with his brother and parents and another photo posing with his older sister, Talula.
In the caption, he reflected on his final year of high school, writing, “Couldn’t have asked for a better senior year.”
Jillian Dempsey had a supportive response for her son, commenting on the post, “My bby B I am so proud of you.”
Patrick and Jillian Dempsey have been married since July 1999 and are proud parents to three children. They welcomed their daughter Talula in February 2002 and their twin sons Darby and Sullivan in February 2007.
While the “Enchanted” star doesn’t often share photos or details about his children, he’s not been shy about publicly supporting his kids. Nearly a year before his sons graduated from high school, he announced Talula’s new business venture on social media in July 2024, sharing a celebratory post for his daughter.
“So proud and excited to announce @taluladempsey launched her new artwork and is now taking orders at the link on her bio @talulaskitchen,” he wrote at the time.
While Patrick Dempsey's teenage sons have a bright future ahead, the actor previously opened up about his children's passions during a December 2020 interview with People.
He told the outlet that his son Darby was drawn to soccer, before adding, “Sullivan wants to be an actor. And Talula loves cooking. She’s incredibly creative.”
Just as Patrick Dempsey has shown his support for his family, his children have been by his side for his accomplishments too.
In recent years, the entire family of five attended the Los Angeles premiere of “Ferrari” in December 2023, which starred Patrick Dempsey as Piero Taruffi. The entire Dempsey crew were dressed to the nines for the occasion and enjoyed a family night out together in support of the new film.
They’ve also attended several red carpet events in the past for Patrick Dempsey’s projects, including the London premiere of “Bridget Jones’s Baby” in September 2016 and the Los Angeles premiere of “The Art of Racing in the Rain” in August 2019, a film which the actor produced.
