Her character can’t seem to find romantic happiness on “Grey’s Anatomy.”

But Ellen Pompeo has found it off screen: She and record producer Chris Ivery have married after dating for three years

The nuptials were performed at City Hall in New York. Mayor Michael Bloomberg was a witness at the ceremony Friday.

Pompeo has been the unsung strength of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” She has kept Meredith Grey appealing during up-and-down stories and the off-and-on again romance with McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey).

But Pompeo hasn’t received any Emmy recognition like winner Katherine Heigl or nominees Sandra Oh and Chandra Wilson. Yet “Grey’s Anatomy” owes a good deal of its appeal to the lead actress — the anatomy wouldn’t mean much without a likable Grey.

“Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, PEOPLE has confirmed.

Ivery proposed to Pompeo on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home. “She was surprised and thrilled,” the actress’s rep tells PEOPLE. Ivery presented Pompeo with a 3.5-carat emerald-cut diamond in a platinum setting from jewelry designer Tacori.

Pompeo and Ivery, 37, both Boston-area natives, grew up minutes away from each other, but didn’t meet until pals introduced them in Los Angeles in 2003. They didn’t start dating right away. “We were friends for six months; then one night she just looked different to me,” Ivery told PEOPLE in October.

Their relationship is laid-back. “We had a great day yesterday,” Pompeo told PEOPLE. “We walked on the beach, then we came home, took a shower and went out for sushi. Then we laid on the couch with the dogs and watched TV.”

Pompeo added, “We were six degrees our whole lives, so I feel like we were sort of meant to be. We’ll get married eventually, secretly.”

According to Pompeo’s rep, no wedding date has been set. ”
