Many of Ellen’s fans also sent their well wishes.
“Beautiful,” wrote film icon Viola Davis.
“Happy anniversary to the most beautiful couple ever,” a second person wrote in all caps.
One person went so far as to say that they missed Ellen’s daytime talk show.
“Happy anniversary to the both of you,” wrote a fourth fan.
“You are both my favorite women, I owe you everything, and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you and what you’ve done for @thegentlebarn sending you many hugs kisses and love.”

By the end of May, it was reported that the comedian had booked over 20 cities.
However, it was soon revealed by Ticketmaster that Ellen had canceled four of the upcoming shows.
