Portia de Rossi To Take Wife's Last Name

Actress Portia de Rossi has filed a petition with the Los Angeles County Superior Court to legally change her last name to that of her spouse, comedian and talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres. DeGeneres and De Rossi wed two years ago this month, during the period when California marriage licenses were being granted to same-sex couples.

It’s all very romantic. We wish Mrs. and Mrs. DeGeneres well.
