Emma, 22, a dancer and contemporary jazz teacher, posted the same photographs to her account alongside the caption: ‘I get to call this incredible woman MY WIFE! I LOVE YOU!’
Ellen and Emma went public with their romance just six months ago in July 2017 when they were spotted kissing outside a branch of Cafe Gratitude in Los Angeles.
The romance came just a few months after the actress split from her ex-girlfriend, artist Samantha Thomas, after 18 months together.
Ellen recently revealed she felt a ‘happiness and an inner peace’ after she made the decision to publicly come out as gay back in 2014.
The award-winning star told the world that she was a lesbian at a Human Rights Campaign event on Valentine’s Day in February 2014.
The actress, 30, revealed the happy news in a series of Instagram posts on Wednesday afternoon, which showed the couple kissing and showing off their matching wedding bands.
The actress subsequently admitted that her decision to be honest about who she is has had immensely positive effect on her life.
Speaking to Diva magazine in September 2017, Ellen said: ‘Everything is different. From one day to the next [after coming out], I felt a happiness and an inner peace which I hadn’t known for years.
‘My life now is overwhelming and I’m glad to be in a position where I can support my community and also help show that you can still play all kinds of roles after you are out.
‘Things are changing fast and the more people who come out will ultimately help put an end to the idea that coming out destroys your career. We have to make that happen.’
Ellen admitted she was getting ‘increasingly unhappy’ before coming out and the fact she was hiding who she was had started to impact her work.

The X-Men star also revealed coming out has given her career a boost in the right direction.
She explained: ‘Before I had to hide my sexuality and that was making me increasingly unhappy, uncomfortable and anxious. I’m excited and enthusiastic about my work again.
‘It feels the same way it did when I was 15 and beginning my career. It’s such a different feeling to be open about who you are and simply live that way and not have to put on masks and hide your identity.
‘I feel an inner peace now which I hadn’t felt in a very long time.’
Ellen also admitted she reached a point in her life where her ‘desire’ to come out meant more to her than the any negative impact her sexuality could have had on her Hollywood career.
She said: ‘I reached a point where my desire to come out was so great that even if everyone in Hollywood had told me that I’ll never work again, it wouldn’t have made any difference. I didn’t want to hide anymore.’
