De Rossi has tattoo traces of ex removed

Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres’ new actress lover Portia De Rossi is removing all traces of her previous girlfriend following their high-profile split earlier this month.

Chat show host DeGeneres ended her four-year relationship with photographer-director Alexandra Hedison on December 10 and is reportedly sharing her Hollywood mansion with Australian-born Arrested Development actress De Rossi, who recently left Ringo Starr's step-daughter Francesca Gregorini.

American gossip site pagesix.com reports the former Ally McBeal beauty has made an appointment with a dermatologist to have the initials 'FG' removed from her ring finger.

As for reports the new couple are planning for a baby, a source says: "Portia has said many times she does not want to have a baby. She's only interested in her career right now and doesn't really even want kids in the long run.

"Francesca wanted a baby badly, and that was a huge issue for them."
