Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi Aimed For Vegan On First Date

It’s been known for a few months now that Ellen DeGeneres has become vegan, but now her wife, Portia de Rossi, is opening up about how turning vegan has changed her life as well.
Neither of them were vegan when they met, but according to Portia, the couple made it a goal to cross animals off their lists after their very first date, according to Contact Music.
“When Ellen and I first got together I was wearing fur and Ellen was wearing very expensive Italian calfskin leather. She was giving me a hard time about wearing the fur and I said, ‘Why is a fox any more important than a cow?’
“We took that idea and went all the way with it. We are doing what we can.”
Last year, the menu at the couple’s wedding reception was completely vegan.
Nothing like a good woman to make a person change their ways. In this case, both members of the happy couple got a nudge from one.
