Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi looked happier than ever as they attended the Unveiling of RH Paris on Thursday.
The comedian, 67 and her actress wife, 52, looked chic as they stepped out in coordinated black knitwear.
Ellen paired her knitted black jumper with white slim fit trousers and white lace-up trainers.
Meanwhile Portia stepped out in a black sheer woolen top, which she tucked into a matching midi skirt and sensible black leather boots.
As they made their way through the French capital, the pair were seen holding hands and occasionally stopped to sign autographs for fans.
Last month, Ellen and Portia celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary.

She marked the occasion with a sweet video from their wedding day on Instagram, showing them surveying the preparations at home, from pink flowers being delivered to crystal and silverware being set for dozens of guests.
The caption read: ‘Happy 17th anniversary of the best day of my life. Portia, I love you more every day. #MarriageForAll.’
The couple moved to Britain in 2024, snapping up a 43-acre estate in the Cotswolds for $20 million.
They’ve now listed the property for $22.5 million to move into a bigger home that could accommodate Portia’s horses, which they flew over from the U.S.
Ellen explained to the Wall Street Journal: ‘When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn’t live without her horses. We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.’
The Oxfordshire estate boasts a two-bedroom guest house, swimming pool, gym, and a ‘party barn’ with its own pub.
The couple spent four and a half months renovating it but only lived there for about a month before moving to a larger property while awaiting the sale.
Asked this year if she was staying in the UK because of Trump, Ellen replied: ‘Yes. We were hopeful for [Democratic presidential nominee] Kamala [Harris]. We were very hopeful and we thought at least let’s get a place here.’

She and Portia opted to settle in the Cotswolds, a popular spot for wealthy Londoners to keep second homes.
‘The idea was that we would be here for three or four months of the year — but always when we came here we loved it and we thought it was beautiful,’ Ellen shared.
‘We thought when I stopped the show [Ellen’s eponymous US talk show] one day, that it was so beautiful here that we would get a farm here and then go back there.
‘And we got here the day before the election. We woke up to lots of texts from our friends and crying emojis. And we were like, ‘He [Trump] got in. So we are staying here. We are not going back. We are not leaving.”
‘So we bought a house that we thought was going to be a part-time house.
‘Then we decided we needed a different house, and now we are selling that house. So if anyone wants a house, it’s a beautiful house.
‘It’s a beautiful stone farmhouse. To clarify, I’m not selling the new one. I’m selling the old stone farmhouse.’
Speaking further about her first year in Britain, DeGeneres pondered on ‘the best thing about life in the UK’, telling her audience: ‘I really like the people. Fish and chips are delicious too.
‘The UK is beautiful. It is absolutely beautiful. We [Americans] are just not used to seeing this kind of beauty.
‘Even in the villages and the towns, I love the architecture and houses. Everything you see here is charming. It is a simpler way of life.

Taking to Instagram in August, Ellen shared a sweet snap of her wife horse riding in the English countryside
‘It’s clean. Everything here is just better. The way animals are treated, the way people are polite. I just love it here.’
Ellen is a well-known collector of ‘multi-million dollar homes’ including a $24million property in the Montecito area of California where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex also live.
In 2023, she told one US outlet of having bought and sold ‘over 50 houses’ including a house in Malibu that once belonged to Brad Pitt.
Earlier this year it was reported that she had put two homes in Montecito on the market – thought to be among her last remaining properties in California.
