Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are just one of those rare celebrity couples who are still fighting for a long-lasting marriage. While they are in a world where divorce is just like going to a bank to fill in some papers and get a lawyer, these personalities have been bombarded with rumors and kept debunking them along the way.
As they celebrate their 11th year in August, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are still facing divorce rumors and allegedly they are separating because of jealousy. The rumor mill is already circulating the news that the power couple is not talking anymore because one of them reportedly becoming overbearing and clingy.
Because of the rising success of Portia de Rossi's new career path, there hasn't been much time spent between her and the talk show host. The Australian-American model and philanthropist are now on a new venture with her art company, General Public and just like any entrepreneur, she has been pouring her heart and soul to it.
However, the rumor claims that Ellen DeGeneres wanted to know de Rossi's every move and has been complaining when her partner comes late from work or when she had no idea of what she had done throughout the day. Despite being famous with a lot of celebrity friends around to cheer her up, not to mention her long-running talk show, Ellen DeGeneres is allegedly overprotective of Portia de Rossi.
The Ally McBeal star already gave her side of the story and said that these divorce rumors are just "the tip of the iceberg" for them. Because of their compatibility, the couple tries their best to just laugh off all the rumors as it all looked ridiculous to them.
One example was when Portia de Rossi dropped by a newsstand and she was shocked on the array of rumors about Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, when in fact "they haven't seen each other." That was one of the reasons why de Rossi and DeGeneres didn't want to be affected by the noisy world of fame and being a celebrity couple at that.
From the start, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi started out as low-key even as they tied the knot in August 2008 with only a fewer than 20 guests. They exchanged their vows at their Beverly Hills home has been considered one of the most successful lesbian relationships in the industry.
On Ellen DeGeneres' 60th birthday, Portia de Rossi gifted her very own gorilla sanctuary as the start of her Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund and to celebrate the moment, the couple flew to Rwanda right after the show. As they celebrate their 11th year, no one knows what's next for the power couple and the extent of their love for each other.
