Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were a couple prior to getting married. It’s difficult to believe! Ellen came out as a lesbian in 1997, which prompted a lot of media attention. She began dating actress Anne Heche the same year she revealed her sexuality.
Anne and Ellen were together for three years before Anne abruptly left Ellen to marry one of the DeGeneres’ comedy tour’s camera operators. Anne Heche, like Lindsay Lohan, refused to date other women.
