Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Are Getting Married

Posted on May 15, 2008 at 9:39 pm (PST)

Back in October of 2007, reports falsely said that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi had split. They were so wrong. On Ellen’s show today, Ellen announced that she and Portia are GETTING MARRIED. The announcement will air Friday.

Making this possible was a California Supreme Court ruling today that struck down the ban against gay marriage.

Ellen told the Advocate today:

I’m thrilled that the California supreme court overturned the ban on gay marriage. I can’t wait to get married. We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday we’ll look back on this, and not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote.

P.S. I’m registered at Crate & Barrel.

Ellen should start thinking about getting that prenup now.

Divorce lawyers are overjoyed.
