Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

Although comedienne Ellen DeGeneres said there was definite chemistry between herself and former Ally McBeal star Portia de Rossi back in 2000, the pair did not begin dating until 2004 when they met again at the VH1 Big in ’04 Awards show. After the overturn of the same-sex marriage ban in California, DeGeneres announced on her show in May 2008 that she and de Rossi were engaged. She gave de Rossi a three-carat pink diamond engagement ring. The couple was married on August 16 2008 in a small ceremony at their home, with nineteen guests including their respective mothers.
