If Grey’s Anatomy heartthrob Patrick Dempsey hasn’t earned his title of “Dr. McDreamy” in your mind, this picture should do it.

Dempsey is on the cover of this month’s Life magazine resting his head on wife Jillian’s pregnant belly. Jillian, or Mrs. McDreamy as she has come to be known, is currently pregnant with twins.

Here are a few choice excerpts from the Life interview:

LIFE: In what ways has fatherhood changed you?
DEMPSEY: Now making money is about providing for my children. And being a father makes you look at yourself. You look at your marriage and go “How do I improve this? How do I keep growing and create a stable environment for my children?”

LIFE: So how do you and Jillian work on your relationship? Are you in couples’ therapy?
DEMPSEY: Yeah, we go in for checkups and go “Hey, here’s what we need to work on.”

LIFE: Could you really just walk away?
DEMPSEY: I’ll see how long the show goes. What happens to my film career. Then I’ll try to remove myself from this hectic lifestyle and live in a small town for a while. I want my kids to be able to run around. I’m ready to go to Maine.

LIFE: Luckily, you and Ellen Pompeo must have had great chemistry during your audition.
DEMPSEY: They didn’t offer me the part. I got it because Rob Lowe turned it down. But first I had to test with her, so she had all the cards. She was very attentive during my audition, and I felt . . . welcomed. Also, she had a Boston accent, and I’m from Maine. I found that endearing.

Can you imagine Rob Lowe as Dr. McDreamy? Not that Rob Lowe isn’t a great actor, I just think he is too pretty (or not scruffy enough) to be Dr. McDreamy.
