Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Celebrate Relationship Milestone in the UK

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are celebrating a major anniversary as they navigate their new lives in the United Kingdom.

The former Ellen DeGeneres Show host shared a tribute to her wife Dec. 1 as they marked 20 years since the start of their romance.

“20 years ago today we began this relationship,” Ellen wrote on Instagram, alongside a selfie of herself and Portia in the countryside, “not realizing what a long beautiful adventure this would be.”

The comedian said the Ally McBeal alum, who she married in 2008, the “best thing that ever happened” in her life.

“You take care of me,” Ellen wrote. “You help me see the good in everything. You help to guide me and pick me up when I feel off or down. You are a beautiful soul that I am so very grateful to have as a partner to navigate this crazy life with. My wife. My best friend. The love of my life. Thank you for being you and loving me.”

The 66-year-old continued, “So happy we get to travel and explore the world together in the next 20 years, and looking forward to our first snowy Christmas.”
