Their relationship began entirely by accident in 1994. Dempsey booked an appointment at Delux, the Los Angeles salon where Fink worked as a stylist. Fink famously believed the booking was a practical joke orchestrated by friends until Dempsey walked through the door.
Three years of platonic haircut appointments followed before romantic sparks ignited in 1997. The pair married two years later on a family farm in Maine.
| Year | Key Relationship Event | Personal & Professional Context |
|---|---|---|
| 1994, 1997 | First meeting & courtship | Met at Fink's salon; spent three years as stylist and client before dating. |
| 1999 | Wedding in Maine | Exchanged vows on July 31 at Dempsey's family farmhouse. |
| 2002, 2007 | Welcoming three children | Daughter Talula born in 2002; twin boys Darby and Sullivan born in 2007. |
| 2015, 2016 | Separation & reconciliation | Divorce filed citing differences; dismissed in November 2016 after counseling. |
| 2026 | 27th Wedding Anniversary | Marked with viral beach photos following Dempsey's 60th birthday. |
Their path through entertainment circles stood out because Fink was never just an actor's plus-one. Both pursued demanding, separate careers while building their family base in Southern California.
