Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi marked 20 years of their relationship with a heartfelt tribute on social media. The former talk show host, 66, shared a cozy photo with de Rossi, 51, on Instagram Sunday, along with a touching message reflecting on their two decades together.
“20 years ago today we began this relationship not realizing what a long beautiful adventure this would be,” DeGeneres wrote in the December 1 post. The couple, who recently relocated to England’s picturesque Cotswolds region, posed in the countryside for the anniversary snapshot.
DeGeneres praised de Rossi, calling her “the best thing that ever happened” in her life. “You take care of me. 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,” she continued.
The tribute culminated in an expression of gratitude and excitement for the future. “My wife. My best friend. The love of my life. Thank you for being you and loving me. So happy we get to travel and explore the world together in the next 20 years, and looking forward to our first snowy Christmas.”
DeGeneres also addressed recent severe weather in the U.K., humorously assuring fans that their farmhouse survived the heavy rains brought by Storm Bert. “P.S. For those of you concerned, our UK farmhouse did NOT flood,” she added.
The couple’s journey began at a 2001 concert and culminated in their marriage in August 2008, shortly after same-sex marriage was legalized in California. Their enduring bond has become a celebrated symbol of love and commitment.
As DeGeneres and de Rossi embrace this milestone, fans, and friends have poured in their congratulations, applauding the couple’s dedication to one another and the joyful life they’ve built together. From their new life in England to plans for snowy holidays, the couple’s adventures are just beginning, with more love and exploration on the horizon.
