Ellen had to go through a difficult period in her life when she revealed her sexual orientation. But everything completely changed when DeGeneres met the love of her life, Portia de Rossi.

Portia is a talented actress, best known for her roles in Arrested Development. The lovebirds first met at one public event. Later, de Rossi told Oprah Winfrey during her interview:

I knew Ellen was the one when I first laid eyes on her, but it took me three years to actually tell her how I felt about her.

The stars started dating in 2004. Four years later, they announced they were going to get married.

@PortiadeRossi and I got married 9 years ago today. Being her wife is the greatest thing I am.

First, Ellen and Portia were going to arrange a private celebration, but then, the couple changed their plans. Ellen confessed it was very important to her to be legally married and invite their friends to share that happy moment with them.

Anybody who's married knows that there is a difference. There's an anchor, there's a safety. I'm going to be with her till the day I die and I know that.

After almost 10 years of marriage, Ellen still says she is the luckiest woman on Earth because she has Portia in her life.

I am so grateful for the love in my life. Not everybody finds that.

DeGeneres calls Portia her best friend and her biggest supporter in life. In her turn, de Rossi confessed she has changed so much since she met Ellen. She said:

Ellen has taught me that the softer you are and the more you allow people into your life and into your heart, the happier you are and the more valuable you are to other people.

Happy Valentine's Day❤️
