Ellen DeGeneres has just celebrated her 60th birthday in a special episode of her hit television
show and was moved to tears by a special gift from her wife, Portia de Rossi.
The meaningful present is establishment of The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey
Gorilla Fund in Rwanda.
Ellen gave it to Portia during a star-studded show that also featured appearances by Michelle
Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, Chance the Rapper and more.
"This gift had to be really special and it had to represent who you are and what you
really care about - not just now, but what you've always cared about," Portia said.
She explained that Ellen's hero has long been Dian Fossey, a conservationist who specialised
in gorilla research up until her tragic murder in 1985.
Dian's story was immortalised in the 1988 film Gorillas in the Mist.
"It's the best gift," Ellen said through tears after receiving her present.
"When we got married, Portia's line was, 'It's good to be loved, [but] it's profound to be
understood.'
She understands me because that is the best gift that anybody could have given me."
