Both of the photos, which were posted to Twitter and Instagram, were accompanied by the same caption.

"My last sunset of 56 with my favorite person," DeGeneres wrote.

She and de Rossi, 41, smiled in the shots that clearly showed off their makeup-free faces, as well as their adoration for each other.

Here's hoping DeGeneres enjoys plenty of beautiful beach sunsets — and shares the shots with us — while she's 57.
