Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi to Wed!
On the heels of the California Supreme Court ruling that people have a right to marry the partner of their choice (thus ruling the previous ban on same sex marriages unconstitutional), Ellen DeGeneres has announced that she and girlfriend Portia de Rossi plan to marry.
The announcement came during the taping of her show Thursday. Ellen told her audience “I’m very excited.” Of Portia, Ellen said, “She’s taught me lessons about myself, and I feel like I’ve taught her. We’ve both changed and grown, and we just feel like, ‘Oh, okay, this is completion.’”
The couple began dating in December of 2004. Portia de Rossi has most recently appeared on “Nip/Tuck” as Olivia Lord, the lesbian love interest of Dr. Sean McNamara’s ex wife, Julia (played by Joely Richardson).
