ELLEN’S WIFE PORTIA DE ROSSI IS THRILLED TO BE AN AMERICAN
Ellen DeGeneres’ wife Portia de Rossi, 38, is now an American citizen. Portia, who was born Amanda Lee Rogers in Australia, has been acting in this country for 16 years. A spy reported to us that Portia was at a swearing in ceremony this week at the courthouse on Spring Street in front of a judge. Naturally she stood out in the crowd – “She looked beautiful in a black dress and pumps and a huge ring.” She was friendly and posed for photos with other new citizens. When someone congratulated her on her naturalization, she quipped “Thank you – but it didn’t happen because of my marriage!” (And it probably SHOULD have!)
