Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about one of the most adorable couples in Hollywood—Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. This year, they celebrated an incredible milestone: 15 years of dating! To mark this special occasion, Ellen decided to pull out all the stops with a truly unique gift for her wife. On Sunday, December 2, Ellen, 60, took to Instagram to share a hilarious video of her surprise for Portia, 45, but as it turns out, even the best-laid plans can go awry.
Here’s what happened: Ellen hired a plane to fly over their house with a banner that read "15" with a heart symbol. Sounds romantic, right? But here’s the twist—Ellen forgot to specify the size of the banner. So, instead of a grand, swoon-worthy message, the banner was so small it was barely noticeable. In her caption, Ellen playfully joked, "I hired a plane to fly by the house with a banner that said 15 with a heart. I should have specified the size." Classic Ellen humor!

Ellen’s fans absolutely loved her attempt at creating a memorable moment for Portia. The comments section on her Instagram post was flooded with heartfelt messages. One fan wrote, "Sweet idea… funny, just another memory!" Another chimed in, saying, "It’s the thought that counts! Happy anniversary to you both and to 100 more years." It’s clear that Ellen’s fans are just as invested in her relationship with Portia as she is herself. And honestly, who can blame them? The couple’s love story is truly inspiring.
Ellen and Portia have a long history of gifting each other thoughtful, heartfelt presents. For example, when Ellen celebrated her 60th birthday earlier this year, Portia surprised her during an episode of The Ellen Show. She unveiled a special video where she announced the creation of The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. This initiative aims to honor Ellen’s hero, Dian Fossey, by providing mountain gorillas with a permanent home in Rwanda.
Portia didn’t stop there. She also established The Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund, which will allow Ellen to continue her incredible work in wildlife conservation. As Portia explained during the show, "For your birthday, Ellen, I am bringing you and your hero, Dian, together by building The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. Ellen, you will carry on Dian’s legacy by giving them a permanent home in Rwanda. Now, you will join Dian as a protector and champion of these amazing animals, the mountain gorillas. Happy birthday!"
