"It's your 60th birthday and this gift had to be really special and it had to represent who you are and what you really care about," de Rossi said (via Entertainment Tonight). "So, for your birthday, Ellen, I am bringing you and your hero, Dian, together by building the Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund."
According to de Rossi, for her present, she considered DeGeneres' desire to do more and her dedication to animals. The In fact, the "Finding Dory" star was significant in Meghan Markle's decision to adopt her first dog.
Prince Harry's fiancée told Best Health that she was in a dog shelter when DeGeneres and de Rossi arrived. She was having second thoughts if she would adopt the dog, but the TV host convinced her.
"Now, I don't now her, but Ellen goes 'Is that your dog?' And I said, 'No,' and she's like, 'You have to take that dog.' And I said, 'Well, I'm deciding' and she's like, 'Rescue the dog!'" Markle recalled. "It's sort of like if Oprah tells you to do something. I'm sitting there holding him and she's like 'Have you thought of a name for him yet?' And I said, 'Well, I think I'd name him Bogart,' and she's like 'You're taking the dog home.'"
