Portia de Rossi Reveals New 'Scandal' Scoop Sure To Make Ellen DeGeneres Jealous

While on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday, de Rossi said (via Us Weekly), "It's just one big rumor that doesn't seem to go away," de Rossi said about having children. "And at this point, I feel like I'm disappointing the whole of America - not just my mother."

The two actually have children in their life in the form of de Rossi's brother Michael's daughters, Eva and Perry. "They're adorable and we love them and we play with them, and then we leave," de Rossi spilled.

When Kimmel questioned if de Rossi leaves them in a public place, de Rossi said, "No, no, my brother is way too smart to leave me alone with his children," she joked. "It's supervised play, Jimmy."

So, is de Rossi the "cool aunt" because of her celebrity status? "One of them, the younger one, she seems to think that I'm great right now, and I'm going to enjoy that for the next couple years," de Rossi said. The eldest niece, however, seems to like DeGeneres the best. "She's 5, so she realizes that the other aunt - Ellen - there's a lot of perks that go along with that," de Rossi said. "There's free stuff, there's 'meet the pop star that she wants to meet,' 12 days of giveaways, obviously...She's a pretty good aunt to have. They watch her show every day, so they've wised-up now."
