10 most powerful gay couples in 2015 (With Pictures)

2. Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi

Ellen DeGeneres is one of the most famous daytime television hosts in history, and her sexuality has been no secret for quite sometime. In 2004, she met Portia de Rossi, who had recently ended a long term relationship with another woman. In 2005, the couple made their first public appearance at the Emmy Awards.

In 2006, the two lovebirds gained media attention after outing themselves as an official couple. Ellen proposed to Portia with a diamond ring in 2008, and once the gay marriage ban was lifted a few months later, the couple married at their home in front of their 19 closest friends.
