Ellen DeGeneres' wife Portia de Rossi recovering well after emergency surgery

Ellen DeGeneres' wife Portia de Rossi is reportedly 'doing well' after being rushed to hospital with appendicitis on Friday evening.

According to her representative, the 48-year-old actress  was rushed to hospital but is now recovering and at home with Ellen and is 'doing well'.

When Ellen took Portia to the hospital she was in a lot of pain. She reportedly required emergency surgery for appendicitis.
