Ellen Pompeo has revealed her Love Island fan status — and, though she’s only seen one season, it’s far beyond that of a casual viewer.
In the March 18 episode of Call Her Daddy, the Grey’s Anatomy actress, 55, revealed to host Alex Cooper that her current “go-to comfort show” is none other than Love Island USA, and specifically season 6.
“I think Love Island right now,” she said, adding that she watches it with her 15-year-old daughter, Stella Luna. (She also shares another daughter, Sienna May, 10, and a son, Eli Christopher, 8, with husband Chris Ivery.)
“Me and Stells, it’s, you know, what we do,” she said of the teen. “It’s our thing.”
The Grey’s star also told the Call Her Daddy host, 30, that she watches the Peacock reality show with a somewhat harsh lens. “Listen, I’m very critical,” the mom of three told Cooper. “I talk a lot of s— while I’m watching Love Island. I talk mad s—.”
“No one,” she emphasized, “talks more s— than me watching Love Island.”
But two Love Island stars in particular have not only escaped her trash talk but also won her heart: season 6 winners Serena Page and Kordell Beckham, who officially began dating days after leaving the villa. Pompeo loves the stars so much, in fact, that she wants to be in the audience if they say “I do” someday.
“Serena and Kordell, that’s my season. Those are my peeps,” the actress told Cooper. “Love them. Literally wanna get invited to their wedding. They’re so adorable.”
However, even if the Grey’s star gets her wish of being there when wedding bells ring for the “adorable” couple, it could be years from now. The Love Island alumni are in no rush to tie the knot, Serena previously revealed.
Speaking with PEOPLE last October, just two months after wrapping Love Island, Serena said that she and Beckham’s relationship was “progressing,” but the couple wanted to move like a “normal relationship” — “not as fast as it does in the villa.”
“We’re able to just come out and slow things down a bit,” she said of Kordell, who is the younger brother of Odell Beckham Jr. She also noted that a proposal is the next step for the pair, but they need some “time” first.

“My finger’s still empty,” she pointed out at the time. “No apartment. There’s none of that. The next step would be engagement. And we need some time for that,” adding, “I can live with you when we’re engaged.”
