Ellen and Portia Are Falling Apart
Recent reports suggest that not all is hunky-dory in the relationship between Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres. It seems they are at a crossroads while turning a new chapter in their lives, which is quite a shock for the fans, especially after seeing them together for 16 long years.
An insider revealed to InTouch Weekly, ” “Ellen being home all the time has taken a toll on their marriage. And Portia isn’t working much either. They’re always in each other’s face, and frankly, they’re getting on each other’s nerves.”
In fact, many think that a crack in their once rock-solid union was quite evident as they celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary this August. For most people, there was nothing celebratory about their anniversary, with the Arrested Development actress feeling the heat, which is surprising to many since she was the one who convinced Ellen to retire in the first place.
Amidst all the chaos, Ellen’s Last Stand… Up tour isn’t going as planned, which has further exacerbated the situation.
Fishy Real Estate Moves
Adding fuel to the speculation fire is the couple’s recent real estate moves. Ellen has always been flipping homes, but this time, it is different. The couple purchased a lavish $70 million mansion in Carpinteria, CA in 2022. They called it their “dream home.” However, they sold the property for a whopping $96 million just after two years. While both of them come with an impressive real estate portfolio, including lavish properties in Montecito, Bel Air, and Coldwater Canyon, the quick sale of their “dream home” has raised many questions about their relationship.
Ellen has been in tough situations before and always managed to come back strong, but this time, it seems things are going against her. She attempted a comeback to stand-up comedy after ending her talk show, but the tour wasn’t nearly as successful as she hoped for, with many being canceled.
Ellen’s struggle to regain her footing in the entertainment world while grappling with her evolving career trajectory and public image is believed to be the major source of tensions at home. Portia and Ellen entered a relationship in 2004, and they’ve weathered storms before. They married in 2008 when same-sex marriage was legalized in California.
Together, they have dealt with many controversies, but always managed to find a way to survive. In an interview with People, Portia reflected on their deep connection, saying, “I remember thinking that she was the coolest, most fascinating, beautiful, funniest person I’d ever met”.
Though things look gloomy, keeping their past in mind, it seems the couple will bounce back and find a way to go through this tough patch together.
