Portia De Rossi's Gift to Ellen DeGeneres

By Shannon Gossage

De Rossi gave DeGeneres the wedding band as a symbol of her love for Ellen’s 47th birthday. The Arrested Development actress bought herself a matching ring. A source close to the couple said, "It signifies their commitment to each other." Despite the fact that they are wearing matching wedding bands, sources say they will probably not hold a wedding ceremony since same-sex marriages are not legal in California and they would want their union recognized.

De Rossi is currently undergoing laser treatment to remove the tattooed initials of her ex-lover from her wedding finger. De Rossi and her ex, Francesca Gregorini, had each other’s initials tattooed on their wedding fingers to signify their devotion to one another. Guess De Rossi wasn’t thatcommitted to Ringo Starr’s stepdaughter Gregorini when she walked out on her in December after running into DeGeneres at VH1’s "Big in 2004" awards show. The two had previously met in March during a photo shoot. DeGeneres ended her four-year relationship with photographer Alexandra Hedison and shortly thereafter De Rossi moved into DeGeneres’ mansion. The happy couple has since been spotted all over town looking happy and content.

There have been rumors that DeGeneres and De Rossi plan to have a baby, but friends of the couple have slammed those reports. A source close to De Rossi said, "Portia has said many times she does not want to have a baby. She’s only interested in her career right now and doesn’t really even want kids in the long run. Francesca wanted a baby badly, and that was a huge issue for them." If that is true, hopefully Ellen doesn’t want any rug rats running around the mansion anytime soon. And a word of advice girls, skip the initial tattoos…it never bodes well for a relationship.
