Ellen DeGeneres says she feels “true love” with wife Portia de Rossi.
The TV personality married the 43-year-old actress in 2008 and admits she couldn’t be happier.
“My best discovery? [Portia]. I would say discovering true love,” she explained to Independent.ie.
The two had also discussed the possibility of raising children, but ultimately decided not to. “We talked about it for a minute, about four years into the relationship, but we just decided we like our conversations not being interrupted and our furniture without sticky grape juice on it,” she explained.
DeGeneres also believes it is not always fair for children to grow up in the spotlight due to ongoing social pressure.
Meanwhile, she says people could learn a lot from Pixar’s Dory character, whom she voices in 2016’s Finding Dory.
She added: “I think the main thing about Dory is she doesn’t have any judgement. If somebody else is in a bad mood, it doesn’t affect her. She doesn’t take it personally. She doesn’t make assumptions, she’s an optimistic character and I think we can all take something away from that.”
The 58-year-old is looking forward to a third movie in the popular franchise, saying: “It’s hilarious, it’s touching. It really is good, you’ll love it. Of course I’d like there to be a third one and I think when you see this, everyone will know what the third one should be.”
Wife de Rossi is naturally supportive about the role, too. “She’s amazing in it. She’s wonderful in it, by the way. I’m not just saying that because I’m her wife. She’s incredible. The performance is amazing.”
