Portia de Rossiseems like the perfect Hollywood name.
Within four years, she decided to go for a stage name and had it legally changed.
But what made her choose that name and abandon the one she was born with?
The actress chose the last name “de Rossi” because it just sounded exotic to her then-15-year-old self.
“13 years ago I married the love of my life,” de Rossi wrote onInstagram.
“And it just keeps getting better.”
As for DeGeneres, she shared her own message onInstagram: “Happy anniversary, Portia.
I’m the luckiest girl in the world because I get to share my life with you.”
