Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi celebrate their wedding anniversary
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi celebrated 14 years of marriage this week.
Former host of the “Ellen DeGeneres Show”, 64 years old, posted on Instagram On Tuesday, a montage of some of her and the actress’s most memorable moments on the now defunct daily talk show.
The clip showed the couple being stupid at the apple picking contest and the “Not So Just Married” game, and a more delicate segment in which de Rossi, 49, presented DeGeneres with her Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund.
“It’s good to be loved. It is deeply understood. I love you @portiaderossi. Happy 14! ❤️ ”, DeGeneres wrote the subtitle for the film.
De Rossi and DeGeneres were married in August 2008 in Los Angeles. An informant then told Page Six that only 20 wedding guests attended the intimate ceremony.
The celebratory milestone of comedian and alumni “Ally McBeal” came just days after DeGeneres’ ex-girlfriend Anne Heche tragically died from the injuries she sustained in a fiery car accident earlier this month.
According to her representative, the star “Six Days, Seven Nights” died last week, aged 53, after suffering a severe hypoxic brain injury.
Heche was hooked up to life-support apparatus for a while until she could be matched to the organ recipientbut was pronounced brain dead on August 5.
During this time, DeGeneres sent her condolences to her ex’s family on social media.
She tweeted“It’s a sad day. I send all my love to Anne’s children, family and friends. “
DeGeneres and Heche were dated 1997-2000, and their relationship was considered a breakthrough for the LGBTQ movement – because they were one of the few lesbian couples in Hollywood.
At the time of their separation in August 2022, the couple released joint statement for People which read: “It’s a friendly breakup, and we treasure the three and a half years we’ve spent together.”
Heche once said years after the breakup: “The repercussions that happened are for me what created part of the change. I am part of it. It’s a badge of honor. “
DeGeneres met de Rossi in 2000 – the same year she and Heche broke up, but now the marriage didn’t start dating until they got reunited at an awards ceremony in 2004.
