Following the show's ending, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, her wife of nearly 15 years, have been enjoying more meaningful moments together. In the summer of 2022, they celebrated the show by taking a special trip to Rwanda for the dedication of the Ellen DeGeneres Campus — a project brought to fruition by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, the Ellen Fund, and the MASS Design Group (via the Daily Mail). The space is for protecting gorillas and conducting research, and it's open to the public. Afterward, the pair also enjoyed going on safari in Zimbabwe and shared romantic, nature-filled photos from the vacation on Instagram.
On January 31, 2023, de Rossi surprised her wife with a romantic vow renewal officiated by none other than reality superstar Kris Jenner. They gathered under the pretense of a party for de Rossi's 50th birthday, and the actress wore her Zac Posen dress from their 2008 wedding. The couple's close friend, Grammy-winning musician Brandi Carlile, served as the wedding singer. "I'm so excited about the future where we get to do whatever the hell we want for the rest of our lives," de Rossi told Degeneres during the ceremony, per People. "I'm so honored to be your wife."
