Ellen DeGeneres is tying the knot with girlfriend Portia de Rossi.
DeGeneres announced their engagement Thursday during a taping of her daytime talk show, the same day the California Supreme Court overturned a state law banning gay marriage.
"So I would like to say now, for the first time, I am announcing: I am getting married," she said during the show, which aired Friday. The announcement was followed by cheers and applause from the audience as cameras showed de Rossi in the studio.
"Thank you. I'll tell you who the lucky guy is soon," DeGeneres joked.
In a separate interview with The Advocate, DeGeneres said she was thrilled with the ruling and cannot wait to marry.
"We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday ... not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote," she said.
DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, started dating in December 2004.

Congrats, Ellen!

Hopefully they stay toghether! Myself growing up with a gay mother and her lover cannot stand this but thats because of my experiences. All the gay couples I know usually do things in the moment not realizing pain people close to them go thru. We can debate this all day and there are couples who make it .
