"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.
