During her appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' Ellen Pompeo shared the reason she doesn't want her 10-year-old daughter Sienna to watch her hit show 'Grey's Anatomy' just yet.

During her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Good American Family actress, 55, spoke about how Shonda Rhimes' hit medical drama is gaining a new audience in the younger generation as the series celebrates its 20th anniversary. After stepping back from her role on Grey's, Pompeo told daytime show host Drew Barrymore, 50, in December 2022 that she's "super happy" and looking forward to spending more time with her children. Speaking with PEOPLE in 2016, Pompeo discussed the importance of role models and that she makes a point to expose her daughters to "beautiful, powerful, strong Black women," whether it's in magazines or on TV.
