ELLEN DEGENERES AND PORTIA DE ROSSI

The host of the Ellen DeGeneres Show and her actress wife knew each other for over two decades before finally getting together and sealing the deal. They made their relationship public back at a time when same-sex couples were still frowned upon. They were wed back in 2008 and were one of the most prominent couples to do so after same-sex marriages were legalized. They never mind the shaming of people because of their sexuality. It even made them prove to people that they can work their relationship together no matter their gender.

Not too long after, however, rumors of them calling lawyers began to circulate. Fortunately, those were nothing more than tabloid fodder, and the couple remains as strong as ever. To quote Ellen, “It’s good to be loved.” Portia knew the first time she met Ellen that this is the right person for her. Despite the rumors of many, their relationship remains to be steadfast.
