A royal affair! Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi’s shock vow renewal included two royal faces on the visitor listing: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
“Portia shocked me at her celebration by renewing our vows,” the previous Ellen DeGeneres Present host, 65, wrote by way of Instagram on Thursday, February 2, sharing footage from the special occasion. “Thanks @KrisJenner for officiating and @BrandiCarlile for performing, and Portia for being the best present to me, even in your birthday.”
In DeGeneres’ social media add, the couple’s mates might be seen applauding the milestone. In response to TMZ, the Duke of Sussex, 38, and the Duchess of Sussex, 41, have been among the many invited company.

De Rossi glided into their front room, sporting her authentic wedding ceremony robe as Brandi Carlile sang an acoustic rendition of “The First Time Ever I Noticed Your Face,” which left the Discovering Dory star speechless. Kris Jenner, for her half, officiated the ceremony.
“Welcome to Portia’s celebration and to the latest house of one in every of my favourite {couples}, two of my [BFFs] and the record-holders for essentially the most properties ever bought in a single metropolis ever, actually,” the Kardashians matriarch, 67, joked in her speech in the course of the Tuesday, January 31, occasion. “These two have been born for one another, and Corey [Gamble] and I’ve spent a lot time with them as their mates, neighbors, dance companions, cocktail buddies and late-night chat classes. These two are couple targets who proceed to develop and amaze me with how cute they’re collectively. A match made in heaven.”

The “Archetypes” podcast host and the army veteran haven’t publicly mentioned attending the shock nuptials, although they’ve turn into tight with DeGeneres and the Scandal alum after transferring close by in Montecito, California.

“We have been house and we noticed you guys, which was nice,” the Bench creator advised DeGeneres throughout a November 2021 look on her speak present about son Archie and daughter Lilibet’s Halloween celebrations. “We wished to do one thing enjoyable for the children after which the children have been simply not into it in any respect. Archie was a dinosaur for possibly 5 minutes — not even 5 minutes.”
On the time, the Louisiana native gushed that Archie, 3, and Lilibet, 20 months, appeared “cute” within the costumes in the course of the go to.
