Affectionate Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi hold hands as they shrug off jet lag

Ellen DeGeneres is known for going into spontaneous dancing jigs on her show.
So it was no surprise when the 54-year-old arrived back today after a romantic Italian jaunt with wife Portia De Rossi - and skipped merrily through the airport.
With a fresh, sunkissed face, DeGeneres smiled from ear to ear after landing in LAX.

Holding De Rossi's hand, the pair looked cute in matching white pants, short blonde haircuts and sunglasses.

 

The pair will reach their four-year wedding anniversary in August.
They took an early romantic trip to Italy because Portia, 29, starts work filming a new ABC series called The Smart One.

The show is about a brilliant and successful woman who begrudgingly goes to work for her less-brainy but more popular sister - a former beauty queen, weather girl and now big city Mayor.  
On the last stop of their trip yesterday, the couple - both Emmy winners - were seen strolling hand in hand in Portofino, which is near Naples, before stopping for lunch.
They also spent some time on a luxurious yacht that was moored outside of the Island of Capri.

Ellen's grandparents are both from Italy and she spends many vacations there.
It's a good thing the hard-working couple sneaked in some relaxation time. They're facing a big move into the new $18 million Beverly Hills mansion they purchased last month right before they left.
