NEW YORK -- "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, Pompeo's publicist confirmed Monday.

Ivery, 38, proposed to the actress on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home, publicist Jennifer Allen told The Associated Press. The Boston-area natives, who have been dating for three years, have not yet set a wedding date, Allen said.

Pompeo juggles work and a dramatic love life as Dr. Meredith Grey on the ABC show. Her movie credits include "Old School," "Daredevil" and "Catch Me If You Can."

The engagement was first reported by Us Weekly on the magazine's Web site.
