Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi

Whoever doesn’t know of Ellen and Portia as a lesbian couple must be living under a rock. They’re by far the most famous LGBT couple in Hollywood. Most people see them as a power couple and admire how their relationship stood the test of time. The two began dating in 2004 while Portia was working as a model and actress and Ellen was doing standup. Four years later, they tied the knot.
