Comedienne Ellen DeGeres’ wife Portia de Rossi is allegedly tired of being married to her.
According to new reports, Portia is tied of Ellen’s controlling behavior, and the pair have been “arguing more than ever,” an insider tells In Touch — Portia de Rossi has finally had enough and is seeking for a divorce.
The lesbian couple have been married for 8 years.
Portia is allegedly telling friends that she is not only feeling suffocated by Ellen’s controlling ways, but that she simply can’t take the stress of living with her anymore.
According to In Touch Weekly, Ellen might want her fans to think that she’s an easy going, friendly, caring and sensitive person who loves to help those in need while also offering to listen and give advice, she’s apparently a completely different person behind closed doors.
Things are so bad between Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi right now that the actress is no longer hiding the fact that their turbulent marriage is taking a toll on her well-being. In fact, Portia hates it that Ellen is calling all the shots at home, while making it clear that she has the last say in almost everything they do, especially when it comes to her career, personal and even day-today choices.
One source close to the couple even dished, “She wants to control and micromanage every aspect of Portia’s life, and it’s becoming more and more of a deal-breaker. If Ellen’s on a cleanse, Portia needs to be on a cleanse. If Ellen quits coffee, Portia needs to quit, too. It’s Ellen’s world and what she says, goes.”
The insider added that Ellen makes Portia feel absolutely miserable about herself because the popular daytime talk show host likes to treat her more like a ‘trophy wife’ than a partner. Some even say that if it weren’t for Portia’s role in the hit television drama ‘Scandal,’ she would have filed for divorce and left Los Angeles already.
Of course, the news comes as a surprise and especially for Ellen’s fans who are used to seeing her as someone who is always cheerful with a carefree, yet caring personality. But it looks like she’s the exact opposite behind closed doors and that’s why her marriage to Portia is suffering.
“They’ve had heated debates about Ellen’s controlling behavior and her anger issues,” the source says. “They fight over Ellen’s drinking, her lavish spending — mostly on real estate — plus her busy work schedule and how she doesn’t want Portia to work.”
While they try desperately to maintain the facade of a happy marriage, divorce is “imminent” according to the insider — and it’s not going to be easy due to Ellen’s $345 million fortune.
“A good chunk of Ellen’s fortune is at stake,” the insider adds. “This could be one of Hollywood’s most expensive, ugliest and dirtiest divorces ever.”
Most times, things are really not what they seem especially when it comes to Hollywood couples.
