The former Ally McBeal star – who has been dating the US chat show host for three years – revealed the couple want to start a family in the future, and are keen to help a child in desperate need of a home.
Portia, 34, said: ‘There are times when I think I’d be really selfish not to adopt a child. It would be great to share our lives with somebody, a little child that really needs a home.
‘But it depends when you ask us. A few months ago, we were thinking about it. I wouldn’t want to say never, but at this point, it’s not something I think we’re going to do.’
The couple had previously considered getting a sperm donor, but could not decide who should get pregnant. Portia said: ‘We would like to have children some day. Ellen would carry.’
But Ellen replied: ‘That will never happen!’ Portia is currently playing Joely Richardson’s girlfriend in hit plastic surgery drama Nip/Tuck, and admits appearing in the series has made her consider getting some cosmetic work done herself.
She said: ‘It’s hard to be against it when you need it. I’ve never really thought about it, honestly. It certainly wouldn’t be right now.’
