Ellen and Portia: The look of love

Ellen and Portia: The look of love

The pair look loved-up as Oz gets revved-up for their arrival.

After eight years together and four-and-a-half of wedded bliss, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi still only have eyes for each other. The loved-up couple, now sporting matching haircuts, looked like teenage sweethearts running errands in LA last week.

It’s not hard to see why Portia fell for the comedienne-turned-talk show superstar. As these pictures show, she’s one chivalrous catch, opening the door of the couple’s Porsche for her gorgeous wife. ‘We were meant to be’ The couple can’t stop gushing about their fairytale relationship, with 55-year-old Ellen telling one US magazine, “We were just supposed to be together.” The star choked back tears on her show recently when she surprised Portia with a touching – and at times hilarious – 40th birthday tribute.

“You make me so happy,” she told her wife. “You’re amazing. I love ya.” For Portia, who publicly battled eating disorders, Ellen is her rock. “When I sit quietly and silently thank the universe for all the blessings in my life, I start with Ellen,” she writes in her memoir. “Ellen taught me to not care about other people’s opinions. She taught me to be truthful. She taught me to be free.”

Since exchanging vows in 2004, the couple still seem to be in their honeymoon phase, cutting an adorable figure as they hold hands and joke with each other, sporting matching shades, and big smiles.
