Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi Separating: Ellen Forces Portia To Show Affection In Public, Marriage Crumbling?

Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi Separating: Ellen Forces Portia To Show Affection In Public, Marriage Crumbling?

According to a report from Star Magazine, Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi are fighting. A source allegedly close to the couple tells Star that Ellen is ‘serious about wearing the pantsuit‘ when it comes to Portia, whatever that’s supposed to mean. Well, I guess it’s supposed to mean that she wears the pants in the relationship, but it’s a stupid way of phrasing it.

This ‘source’ explains, “Ellen is paranoid that Portia will leave, so she makes sure to always have an eye on her. When they are out in public, there’s a rule between them that Portia is to always hold Ellen’s hand, so it’s clear to everyone who she belongs to.”

Is it just me, or is that the most ridiculous thing ever? There have been a LOT of rumors concerning trouble in Ellen’s and Portia’s marriage, and there’s rarely this kind of non-stop tabloid speculation without somebody talking or something actually going on. But even then, it’s Ellen Degeneres. Can you ever see her establishing such a horrible and one-sided rule for her wife? In fact, I might actually believe this if the story was the other way around, especially considering how friendly Ellen is and how many friends she usually makes in the industry.

In the long run, I think Ellen and Portia will be just fine – there may be some jealousy here and there over some past relationships or possibly even some flirting going on, but if either one of them cheated on each other, I think we would know by now.

What do you guys think about Ellen’s ‘rule’ for Portia when they leave the house? Crazy and backwards, right? Do you believe it’s true? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
