Portia De Rossi Erases Tattoo Of Ex's Name

Former ALLY McBEAL star [Portia De Rossi](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/portia-de-rossi) is shedding a tattoo with her former partner's initials, after embarking on a romance with comedienne ELLEN DeGENERES.

The tattoo, which is on De Rossi's ring finger, was meant to show her commitment to her now ex-girlfriend, singer-songwriter FRANCESCA GREGORINI.

De Rossi, 32, and Gregorini, who is the stepdaughter of former [beatle](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/beatles) [Ringo Starr](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/ringo-starr), dated for three years, until they spilt late last year (04).

De Rossi recently told DETAILS magazine of her plans to have the tattoo removed, "I'm not saying it's anything I regret doing, because I don't, but it just doesn't make any sense now."

Shortly after her break-up with Gregorini, de Rossi and talk show host DeGeneres became a couple.

Late last year, DeGeneres's girlfriend of four years, photographer [Alexandra Hedison](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/alexandra-hedison), reportedly moved out of the couple's Hollywood Hills home.
