Ellen DeGeneres Shares An Anniversary Post For Portia de Rossi
The media personality and Arrested Development actress have been together for more than two decades, after first beginning their romantic relationship in 2004. The couple got engaged in 2008 and married that August at their home in Beverly Hills, and they have continued to celebrate their relationship publicly over the years.
Since The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended in 2022 after 19 seasons, the previously public couple have largely stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight. In late 2024, they relocated from California to the Cotswolds in England, where they have embraced a quieter countryside lifestyle. Ellen has spoken about enjoying the slower pace of life there, while the pair have continued to make occasional public appearances and share glimpses of their life together. Last month, the Finding Nemo voice actress marked their 18th wedding anniversary with a sweet tribute to Portia, calling her “my favorite person in the entire world.”
“I can’t believe how lucky I am that I get to spend the rest of my life with you,” she continued in the caption of her Instagram post. “What an adventure we are having!!”
