Portia de Rossi surprises Ellen DeGeneres with wedding vow renewal

Ellen DeGeneres has been left speechless thanks to a huge surprise from her wife, Portia de Rossi, as the pair shared a sweet video capturing the moment.

The US talk show host took to social media on Friday to share videos from their surprise vow renewal ceremony, which was officiated by Kris Jenner and featured a performance by Brandi Carlile – hitting the refresh button on their wedding vows after more than 14 years of marriage.

“Portia surprised me at her birthday party by renewing our vows,” DeGeneres, 65, captioned the Instagram post. “Thank you @KrisJenner for officiating and @BrandiCarlile for performing, and Portia for being the greatest gift to me, even on your birthday.”

In the clip, de Rossi, 50, walked through a crowd of people wearing the same white halter-top gown she wore when she first wed DeGeneres in 2008.

As she found her way to the Finding Nemo star, who sported a blue jacket, khaki slacks and blue sneakers, she handed her a bouquet of white roses.

“Welcome to Portia’s birthday party and to the newest homes of one of my favorite [sic] couples,” Jenner, 67, said, as the couple stood before her, looking happy as ever.

“You don’t have to say anything at all,” de Rossi said to her partner, who stood there in disbelief.

“Best day ever!!! what an honor [sic] to be there for two of my BFF’s who I adore and who love each other so much!” Jenner commented.

Singer John Legend posted a series of heart emojis.

At the time, an insider told Page Six that the couple only had 20 wedding guests at the intimate ceremony.

Last August, the comedian celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary by sharing a montage of some of her and de Rossi’s most unforgettable moments on her now-defunct daytime talk show.

“It’s good to be loved. It’s profound to be understood.” I love you, @portiaderossi. Happy 14!,” DeGeneres captioned the post.
