Kotahi tōna tuakana, ko Vance, he kaiwaiata, he kaihanga hoki. He uri ia no Wīwī, Ingarihi, Tiamana, me Ireland. I whakaarahia ia hei Kairangahau Karaitiana. I te tau 1973, i tono ona maatua mo te wehenga, ka wehe i te tau e whai ake nei. I muri tata iho, ka marenatia te whaea o Ellen ki a Roy Gruessendorf, he kaihokohoko. I neke atu a Betty Jane raua ko Ellen me Gruessendorf mai i te rohe o New Orleans ki Atlanta, Texas. I noho a Vance ki tōna pāpā. I tetahi waahanga o tana whakaaturanga i te Hui-tanguru 2011, i korero ia ki tana hunga whakarongo ki te reta mai i te New England Historic Genealogical Society e kii ana ko ia te whanaunga tekau ma rima ki a Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, na roto i to ratau tupuna noa a Thomas Fairfax. I a ia e 15 ki te 16 tau te pakeke, i tukinotia ia e tana papa. I puta a DeGeneres i te Kura Tuarua o Atlanta i te Haratua 1976, i muri i tana whakaoti i nga tau tuatahi o te kura tuarua i Grace King High School i Metairie, Louisiana. I hoki ia ki New Orleans ki te haere ki te Whare Waananga o New Orleans, i reira ia i ako ai i nga akoranga whakawhitiwhiti korero. Whai muri i te tau kotahi, ka whakarere ia i te kura ki te mahi tari i roto i tetahi umanga ture me tana whanaunga, a Laura Gillen. Ko ana mahi tuatahi ko te mahi i te J. C. Penney, me te mahi hei kaitoha i te T.G.I. Paraire me tetahi atu wharekai, he peita whare, he kaitoha, he kaitiaki. He maha nga korero a ia mo tona tamarikitanga me nga wheako mahi i roto i ana mahi whakaari.  Pātai: I ako a DeGeneres ki hea i te wānanga?
