Celebrity Couples Who Didn't Let an Age Gap Stand In Their Way

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia Di Rossi, 15 Years

The talk show host and actress have been married since 2008 when California legalized same-sex marriage. They met in 2004, and despite the 15 year age gap, they moved in together the following year. DeGeneres said of Di Rossi, "It's the first time that I've known in every cell of my being that I'm with somebody for the rest of my life." 

A Philanthropic Couple

DeGeneres and Di Rossi are one of Hollywood's champion couples for LGBTQ rights. They've appeared on nearly every red carpet, and Di Rossi has even been a guest on "Ellen." With her show facing major backlash in August of 2020, Di Rossi has still supported DeGeneres.
