Leadfoot star racer Patrick Dempsey and his wife reunited in Paris
Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey shocked fans when he split from wife Jillian Fink after 15 years and three children together earlier this year.
But it appears the estranged couple are back together, after they were spotted holding hands while enjoying a romantic weekend in Paris on Sunday.
Dempsey, also a Porsche race car driver, is a star attraction at the 2016 Leadfoot Festival at Hahei on the Coromandel Peninsula in February.

The actor and his apparently estranged wife looked very much in love as they walked hand-in-hand and visited museums, went for a bike ride and posed for photos on the city's famous Love Lock bridge.
Makeup artist Jillian, who has worked with Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart, filed for divorce from the 49-year-old Grey's Anatomy star in January.
But that appeared behind them, as the loved-up pair were all smiles as they rented bikes and went for a ride around the scenic City of Lights.
They also visited the famous 'love lock' bridge, the Pont des Arts, where couples snap a lock on the railing to symbolize their eternal love.
The formerly estranged pair, who were married for 15 years before Jillian filed for divorce, looked cosy as they snuggled up and posed for selfies on the bridge.
Jillian posted a photograph of herself posing next to a Picassio painting to Instagram, writing 'Grand Palais' and adding the hashtags '#picasso mania' and '#paris.'
The in-step pair even went with a lookalike style, both wearing classic navy tops and blue jeans.
Patrick wore a dark blue sweater and jeans, which he rolled up at the cuff and paired with leather sneakers.
Jillian went with a stylish navy blazer, jeans and white sneakers, and added a cross-body leather handbag as they strolled around Paris.
The makeup artist has been in Europe working with Jennifer Lawrence as she promotes The Hunger Games - Mockingjay Part 2.
Meanwhile Patrick has been working in London filming the new Bridget Jones movie with Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth.
But they took time out of their busy schedules to meet up in Paris, where they appeared very much back on.
Their reconciliation comes after Patrick has had a rough year professionally and in his personal life as he split from his wife, was killed off on Grey's Anatomy and sold the family's gorgeous home in Malibu.
The couple - who reportedly have no pre-nup -sold their Frank Gehry-designed Malibu home for $15 million in June, after buying it for $7 million in 2009.
The pair have three children - eight-year-old twins Sullivan and Darby, and 13-year-old Tallula.
Patrick rose to fame as 'McDreamy' on the Shonda Rhimes medical soap, but fans were left stunned when his character Derek Shepherd was suddenly killed off earlier this year.
Despite rumours that he was 'killed off' after having a falling out with Grey's super-producer and writer Rhimes, Patrick insisted he was happy about leaving the show, despite having just signed a two-year contract.
'It just sort of unfolded in a very organic way,' he told Entertainment Weekly magazine in April.
'It was just a natural progression with the way the story was unfolding.'
While filing for divorce on January 21, Jillian cited 'iirreconcilable differences' and sought spousal support and joint custody of their three children.
The couple, who were married for 15 years, reportedly had amassed a $40 million fortune but had no prenuptial agreement.
In addition to riding their bikes and visiting the Love Lock bridge, the couple took in the art at the historic Grand Palais.
Jillian posted a photograph of herself posing next to a Picassio painting to Instagram, writing 'Grand Palais' and adding the hashtags '#picasso mania' and '#paris.'
And Patrick has been in London filming the new Bridget Jones film with Renee Zellweger and Colin Firth.
The Leadfoot Festival in February is hosted by veteran New Zealand motorsport figure Rod Millen on his farm at Hahei and features a range of classic cars and motorcycles.
The Hollywood star is likely to race one of the latest and fastest Porsche models during the hillclimb event from February 6-7.
Dempsey also featured in this year's prestigious Le Mans24 Hour race in France, coming second in his class driving a Porsche 911 RSR.
