Earlier, Ellen had praised her wife for inspiring her to keep going after reports of a hostile work environment on the show discouraged her.
California’s Los Angeles On August 16, tv personality Ellen DeGeneres, 64, and her wife Portia de Rossi, 49, celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary. In 2008, Ellen married the actress in California, and on Tuesday, she left the actress a message on Instagram. She posted a compilation video of adorable and humorous exchanges between Portia from “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and herself.

In the video, a pair is shown competing against one another to harvest apples in a game while clearly in love. The comedian once described Portia as her “rock.”
Following a tragic car accident in Mar Vista, California, in which she slammed into a residence, Ellen’s ex-girlfriend Anne Heche died after being taken off life support a few days before the television host and Portia’s anniversary.
In 2020, after former employees of Ellen’s television program accused the producers of creating a hostile work environment, Ellen thanked her wife for inspiring her to keep going. “I couldn’t have endured anything I did without her, and it crushed my heart. She was a rock throughout that difficult time in my life. She encouraged me and made an effort to help me see things in perspective “Ellen stated. They are now adept at putting one another at ease because of their growing intimacy. “We’ve matured as a couple together, and we truly value and prioritize our union. You get a lot more solid by doing it. I can’t image being around anyone other than her, “argued Portia. Ellen responded by saying, “We finish each other’s sentences—no, sandwiches—at the same time that we think and say the same things. We’re in a smooth rhythm right now.”
After Anne died away, Ellen posted a message of sympathy on her Instagram story. It read, “It’s a depressing day. All of my love goes out to Anne’s kids, family, and friends.” From 1997 to 2000, Anne and Ellen went out together. Heche’s biography is reportedly going for roughly $750 after her tragic death.
Following her death at the age of 53, the 2001 book “Call Me Crazy,” written by the deceased celebrity, has seen a rapid rise in popularity among friends and admirers. The book, which originally cost $26 and was published by Scribner more than 21 years ago, is currently being sold on Amazon as a collectible, according to Entertainment Tonight. Depending on the retailer, the book can be purchased for between $739 and $949.
The star’s struggles with mental illness as she tried to adjust to her life in the spotlight are highlighted in the biography. It also discusses the trauma she endured as a result of being assaulted as a young child and her widely reported former relationship with DeGeneres. Heche announced her wish to release a new book, “Call Me Sane,” during a farewell interview with the “Behind the Velvet Rope” podcast.
She described the book she was planning as being the complete opposite of “Call Me Crazy” and would have recounted her life’s journey as she survived abuse and trauma as a youngster while advising others on how to handle circumstances in their own ways. “It’s the practice of how to overcome abuse and how to begin the process of living in love with yourself that is engaged with others and living in love with compassion so you can fully present yourself to others,” said Anne.
The podcast was recorded in January, but it wasn’t released until August 14, two days after her passing. According to California law, the actress was considered clinically dead after suffering severe neurological damage, but her family decided to delay turning off her ventilator until organ donors had been notified.
