Ellen Is Off the Market

Love takes time to heal.

Well, except maybe for comedienne Ellen DeGeneres.

Betty DeGeneres, the yuckster’s mother, told “Entertainment Tonight” that her daughter has already found someone to take the place of former love Anne Heche.

Mom told “ET” that Ellen‘s new girlfriend is “a very nice girl” and that the new pair is “taking it very slow.” Betty DeGeneres didn’t say anything else about the mystery woman, except that Ellen met her by accident and that her daughter wasn’t looking to meet someone new.

DeGeneres and Heche announced their split in August after a 2 ½ year courtship. Heche has been linked to actor Vince Vaughan, among others, since the breakup.
