Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Divorce Rumors: Is the Couple Attending Couples' Therapy Sessions?
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi have started regularly attending couples' therapy sessions together in hopes of saving their troubled union.
Celebrity Laundry reports this week's edition of Star magazine reveals, after months of being rumored to be close to a divorce and even living in separate homes, the couple is now fighting to repair their seven-year marriage.
"It was a very unhealthy situation, but they have begun the healing process," a source added of the pair's relationship. "They are finally dealing with their issues. Portia often complains that she feels bullied. With Ellen's show on hiatus for the summer, she is home bossing Portia around all day and expecting her to be at her beck and call."
Therapy hasn't come easy for the two and it remains unclear if they will be able to work through all their many issues.
"They fight a lot during the sessions," a source added.
After recently returning from a trip to South Africa, the couple was also rumored to be fighting nonstop. According to In Touch Weekly, the pair had a huge fight upon returning to the U.S. about de Rossi's career. Sources added the blowup came on top of a host of recent ones brought on by accusations of infidelity and rampant drug use.
"Portia told Ellen that once she starts filming 'Scandal' again, she'll be married to her job," a source told In Touch of what led to the most recent dispute.
Apparently, that news came as a complete and bitter shock to 57-year-old DeGeneres, who has long been rumored to seemingly control her wife's every move.
"They wound up in a big screaming match and didn't speak again for days," said a source. "It doesn't look like they will ever be able to get back on track. Ellen and Portia will soon be living separate lives."
According to Radar Online, de Rossi has also been recently pressuring DeGeneres to cut back on her heavy workload so the two would have more free time to spend with one another. The 42-year-old veteran actress was only recently released from rehab for a drug and alcohol addiction.
DeGeneres' current talk show deal expires in 2017, and she reportedly has already told staffers this may spell the end.
