Ellen Degeneres & Portia de Rossi

In the world of showbiz, it’s no doubt that Ellen DeGeneres takes credit for being one of the most popular figures around. Beginning her career as a comedian, performing in more than a couple of stand-up comedy gigs, she eventually got her first shot to fame, portraying the titular lead of the sitcom Ellen. Nowadays, though, she is arguably most recognized as the host of The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

Another thing fans know about DeGeneres would be that she is happily married to Portia de Rossi. Beginning her career with minor roles, de Rossi eventually garnered widespread recognition when she landed a part in Ally McBeal. Since then, she has worked on other shows such as Better Off Ted, Nip/Tuck, and Arrested Development. Outside the acting scene, though, de Rossi has also found success as the CEO of General Public, an art company she founded.
