Their love story began in 2000.
During the couple's first joint interview, de Rossi told Oprah she knew she was in love with DeGeneres when she first laid eyes on her at a party in 2000. But she said it then took her over three years to tell DeGeneres how she felt because she wasn't out.
The two re-connected in 2004.
The pair met in 2000 but reconnected when Ellen met Portia at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angelesfor VH1's Big in '04 Awards, she later told The Advocate. Ellen was out as gay, and had been for a while, but, despite Portia being in a relationship with Francesca Gregorini, she wasn't entirely out to the public.
Portia officially came out in 2005, as did the pair as a couple.
In 2005, a few months after connecting with DeGeneres, de Rossi told The Advocate, "Believe me, I had a very, very long and difficult struggle with my sexuality," which marked the first time she had openly spoken about her sexuality and her relationship with DeGeneres. She revealed that she had only come out to her grandmother a few days prior.
