DeGeneres and de Rossi tied the knot at their Los Angeles home in 2008 after four years of dating. The television personality denied amid divorce rumors in 2015 that she and de Rossi have ever been close to splitting.

"There's never been a point where we were breaking up or divorcing or fighting. None of these stories are even remotely true," she said in an interview with Today.
