Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have wed in what is perhaps the highest-profile gay marriage since California legalised the unions, according to reports.

People and US Magazine said DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, wed on Saturday night in an intimate ceremony at their home, which is in Beverly Hills.

DeGeneres is 50 years old while de Rossi is 35.

After the California Supreme Court ruled in May that homosexuals could marry, DeGeneres announced on her talk show that she and de Rossi would wed.

The couple have been together for nearly four years.
