Ellen on Time Magazine cover 

Ellen DeGeneres announced to the world she was a lesbian in 1997 and got married to actress Portia de Rossi in 2008 at their home in Beverly Hills, California
The 58-year-old TV show host recently revealed how her father found her sexuality a challenge.

Speaking to HELLO! magazine, she said: ‘My parents divorced when I was young – they were very different personalities. My mother is a strong woman, sarcastic and sassy, and I learnt how to be a tough woman from her. My dad is a wonderful man but he has a lot of fear and he was overprotective of me. He didn’t want me to hurt myself so he wanted me to be nice and quiet all the time and not really argue or speak my opinion.
