She's the proud mother of two daughters.

Ellen went casual with a dark brown jumper that was teamed with a matching purse and casual sandals.   

The Old School actress let her auburn hair fall freely in relaxed and loose waves, with a few free strands skimming over her aviator sunglasses.

She traded in the cosmetics for a heavy pendant necklace that added a touch of glam.

Her little girl wore a playful denim romper, a striped headband, and animal print flats. 

While Ellen has enjoyed a successful career in acting, Stella has been drawn to the medical field.

In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the actress revealed in March: 'She wants to be an emergency room doctor.'

'She loves coming to set and every time she comes to set the first thing she wants to do, is Linda Klein is our medical producer...she just wants to go straight to Linda's office and play with all the medical things.

'Yesterday... she was in Linda's office with Linda with a bone drill, drilling a fake femur bone with a real bone drill. I mean she was supervised, but you know they have her doing advanced procedures.' 

Ellen and her husband Chris Ivery recently welcomed their second child - a girl named Sienna May in August.

Sienna was carried by a surrogate, and Ellen revealed to the TV host that it had taken her older daughter a while to adjust to her new sister.

'You know after, like, three months, she was, like, "Is she leaving?" And I said "No, no, she’s gonna live here." And she was like "oh, ok."'

'And she had about a month where she was not in a good mood. Bad mood every day for a month. And now that passed and now she’s fine.' 

Ellen, who has been married to Chris since 2007, currently stars as Dr. Meredith Grey on the long-running show Grey's Anatomy.

The series is now in its 11th season and airs on ABC Thursday nights.
