Ellen DeGeneres is starting to look more like her older brother. On Tuesday the 67-year-old comedienne and the 71-year-old movie producer were seen together in a rare portrait. They resembled each other because for the first time they have the same hair color: dark gray<\/p>\n

\"She <\/p>\n

She used to be blonde and he used to have brunette hair in their salad days. Ellen and Vance are pictured together at the 1995 Golden Globe Awards<\/p>\n

Vance also works in the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n

He was a writer on her show Ellen between 1996 and 1997. And he has served as a producer and writer for films like The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Crazy, Stupid, Love and Bull Durham.<\/p>\n

In addition, he served as the ‘co-president of Steve Carell’s Carousel Productions at Warner Bros. for six years,’ according to The Sun.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vance seems to have always been close to Ellen.<\/p>\n

In 2020 he\u00a0defended the embattled star when she was facing an investigation over allegations of racism, bullying, as well as fostering a ‘toxic environment’ behind the scenes of her hit talk show.<\/p>\n

Vance said that Ellen was being ‘viciously attacked’ amid her toxic workplace scandal, which he decried as being ‘all bulls***.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘If you think Ellen would knowingly allow bullying or racism on her show, you don\u2019t know my sister,’ Vance said in a statement via Twitter<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actor and musician added: ‘She has been and continues to be a bright light in a dark world. She\u2019s one of the kindest, most generous people you’ll ever meet. And one of the funniest.’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Vance made further comments on his official Facebook account, saying that Ellen was being ‘viciously attacked’ and that the accusations she is facing are ‘all bulls***.’<\/p>\n

Vance also works in the entertainment industry. He was a writer on Ellen between 1996 and 1997\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Ok, I need to say something. My sister is being viciously attacked. And let me assure you – it is all bulls\u2014,’ Vance wrote in his Facebook post.<\/p>\n

‘I put up a simple statement yesterday that said ‘I stand by Ellen.’ Only a handful of my Facebook ‘friends’ responded to it. If you don’t support Ellen, then you don’t support me, so please unfriend me.’<\/p>\n

Vance added: ‘I’m sick and tired of my sister being attacked. She always has – and always will – stand against bullying of any kind. She’s a smart, strong woman who has made a positive difference in the world. And to my friends who did respond with support for Ellen and my family, thank you so much. It means a lot.’<\/p>\n

Last month Ellen\u00a0and Portia de Rossi celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n

The comedienne marked the occasion by posting a sweet video from their wedding day to Instagram.<\/p>\n

In the clip DeGeneres and 52-year-old de Rossi are at first seen in casual clothing as their survey the preparations at their home.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pink flowers are brought in and the crystal is placed on tables with name cards and silverware for dozens of guests.<\/p>\n

The caption was brief: ‘Happy 17th anniversary of the best day of my life. Portia, I love you more everyday. #MarriageForAll.’<\/p>\n

This comes after news the power couple are selling their home in the UK just a year after they bought it because they needed more space.<\/p>\n

The pair moved to Britain in 2024 and snapped up a 43-acre estate in the Cotswolds for \u00a320 million, but they have now put the property on the market for \u00a322.5 million because they needed to move to a bigger house to accommodate Portia’s horses which they have flown over from the US.<\/p>\n

Ellen explained the decision in a statement given to the Wall Street Journal via realtors Sotheby’s: ‘When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn’t live without her horses.<\/p>\n

‘We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.’<\/p>\n

The couple are believed to have already moved to another property with enough space for the horses while they wait for the six-bedroomed home to sell.<\/p>\n

The house in Oxfordshire boasts a two-bedroomed guest house as well as a swimming pool, gym and a ‘party barn’ complete with its own pub.<\/p>\n

The publication reports the couple spent four and a half months renovating the property and only lived there for around four weeks before moving out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ellen DeGeneres\u00a0is starting to look more like her older brother Vance DeGeneres.
