Ellen DeGeneres & Portia De Rossi divorce rumors that circulate online appear to be negated by the TV show host's actions. Reportedly, in the midst of De Rossi's troubles and alleged rehab visits, DeGeneres is said to drop her drinking habits to show support for the "Arrested Development" star.
"Ellen has always been a big drinker-she loves her wine," says a source to OK Magazine. "But she's realized that her behavior has only enabled Portia to drink as well, and she feels partially responsible for Portia's rehab stint."
Reports say that De Rossi, 41, allegedly participates in a 30-day program for substance abuse at Passages Malibu rehab facility in May. According to OK magazine, the pair made real efforts to revive their connection during their downtimes despite rumored shaky relationship. The two were spotted enjoying on a yacht off the coast of Croatia last June 29.
Fashion N Style reported that a source told In Touch that de Rossi made the decision to check into rehab after she and her wife Ellen DeGeneres "got into an ugly fight" because "[de Rossi] hadn't been happy for a while and was drinking and isolating [herself], and Ellen confronted her."
"Portia lost it and blamed Ellen for driving her to drink because of her controlling ways and said she wasn't in love with her anymore," the source added. "Ellen was crushed and screamed at Portia to get out."
According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, De Rossi brawls with eating disorder in the past and spent years to recover from it. Reportedly, she has tendencies for addiction and low tolerance for stress seems to have accelerated her dependence on alcohol. Ellen reportedly cutting out booze completely to help Portia get sober again.
"Ellen loves Portia more than anything in the world and wants to make sure she's healthy, emotionally and physically," a source says to OK magazine. "She's realized that drinking in front of Portia is just selfish. Right now their marriage is better than it's been in years, and Ellen is just grateful that her wife is healthy again. She's ready to enjoy every minute that she has with Portia."
