On a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, the beloved talk show host answered some fan advice questions with her wife, Portia de Rossi. The couple engaged in a lively chat, providing their insights and opinions on a range of topics.
One fan asked Ellen and Portia how to get more sleep with a newborn. Ellen humorously suggested using condoms to avoid having more newborns altogether. They also mentioned that their pet sitter/assistant had recently become a parent and shared anecdotes about their adorable baby, Miles, who apparently sleeps all night. Although they jokingly discussed whether it would be appropriate to drug a baby to help them sleep, they concluded that they didn’t have the answer to that question.
Another fan asked the couple about their number one tip for a healthy relationship. Portia emphasized the importance of honesty, stating that lying, even through seemingly harmless white lies, should be avoided. Ellen echoed her sentiment, adding that being honest leads to trust and a more meaningful connection. Compliments and showing appreciation for each other were also mentioned as important aspects of a healthy relationship.
Ellen and Portia even fielded a question about playing pickleball. A fan asked if they could join them for a game. The duo revealed that they invite random people to play on their pickleball court and although they may not know everyone’s identity, they enjoy meeting new people and having a good time.
When asked how to politely decline an invitation where they were included only as an afterthought, Ellen and Portia shared some witty responses. They jokingly suggested claiming to have exploratory surgery or asking for more notice in the future. It seems they’ve encountered this situation before and have found creative ways to navigate it.
Towards the end of the segment, Ellen and Portia discussed kittens. One fan revealed they had just gotten their first kitten and asked for advice. Ellen enthusiastically recommended the Paws Up box, jokingly plugging the product and even offering to send one for free. They chatted about the joys of having a kitten and shared stories of bad cats they’ve encountered.
To conclude their insightful and entertaining segment, one fan asked the couple their preference for peanut butter – smooth or chunky. With laughter, Ellen revealed, “I don’t have a preference, honestly. I like them both. I’m bi when it comes to peanut butter.”
Fans of The Ellen Degeneres Show can always count on Ellen and Portia to provide humor, honesty, and a touch of quirkiness. Their lively discussion on the show was an enjoyable and enlightening segment for viewers, reminding us why this chat show continues to be a favorite among audiences worldwide.
