Ellen DeGeneres and Poria de Rossi – 14 YEARS

Successful talk show host-comedian Ellen DeGeneres has had a relationship with actress-model Portia de Rossi since 2004. They first met in 2004 but de Rossi was still in a relationship at that time but soon broken up with him. The two met again at the LA’s Shrine Auditorium on December 1, 2004, and moved in together before 2005 ended. DeGeneres and de Rossi became inseparable since then. The couple got married in August 2008 at their home in California.

Due to their sexual orientation, they must have had consultations with lawyers before their engagement since same-sex marriage was banned in California before. In 2010, de Rossi filed a petition to change her name to Portia Lee James DeGeneres which was granted a month after. Together, they are now in their 14th year. Despite the struggles along the way, it is their pure love, understanding, and common interests such as charitable organizations that held them together.
