Ellen DeGeneres sent a plane with a love banner to her wife, but realized it’s too small to read

Ellen DeGeneres decided to surprise her wife Portia De Rossi on the 15th anniversary of the day they began dating. However, the television host realized the message was too little to see.

Ellen, 60, shared an Instagram video to mark the occasion of her dating anniversary with Portia, 45, recently.

"Portia and I started dating 15 years ago today. I hired a plane to fly by the house with a banner that said 15 with a heart. I should have specified the size," she captioned the post.

On August 16, 2008, the couple was married during an intimate candlelit ceremony at their Californian home.
