Patrick Dempsey's Starting Fresh in New $6.4 Million Crib

Instead of dishing out money on divorce lawyers, Patrick Dempsey and his wife, Jill, decided to drop several million to move into a new Malibu home.

It's a 4 bedroom, 4 bath crib with 4,415 sq feet of space for the reunited couple. It's not oceanfront property, but the beach is just a short drive away. Anyway, there's plenty of entertainment at the home -- like a gorgeous salt water pool and a lit tennis court.

As we reported, Jill just sold the Pacific Palisades pad she bought for herself when they were on the outs, and took in a $1.5 million profit.

The Dempseys bought the Malibu pad in May, and were repped by Ellen Francisco and Brett Lawyer.

Definitely beats paying for a divorce.
