Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi‘s marriage has reportedly been struggling since their move to England. Things were challenging before the relocation, but Ellen’s controlling behavior has worsened, and Portia has had enough.
Portia de Rossi is unhappy with her life with Ellen DeGeneres. Sources say tension is rising between them. Globe reports claim Ellen’s need for control is overwhelming Portia after 17 years together.

Many expected Ellen DeGeneres to find happiness in England, but little has changed. She remains unhappy, which is straining her marriage to Portia.
“Portia loves Ellen dearly, but she feels totally suffocated much of the time, because every aspect of her life is constantly micromanaged,” an insider confides. “If she wants to go for a horse ride, a jog, even a trip to the shops, it’ll be met with a dozen questions. Ellen hates going anywhere by herself, so Portia’s always on the hook to be by her side.”

Fans may recall that, after Ellen DeGeneres left her daytime talk show amid controversy and Trump was elected president, she made good on her promise to leave the country. However, with nothing really to occupy her mind and time, insiders claim her controlling behavior has now shifted to focus on Portia.
As previously reported, Ellen is having a difficult time making friends and adjusting to her new life. She has allegedly not been very well received in England, which is not making things any easier for Portia. In fact, it only aids Ellen’s need to cling to de Rossi even more.
A former cameraman from The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently alleged that Ellen was always extremely possessive on set. She would go off, particularly if male employees interacted with Portia.
Portia de Rossi has allegedly been putting up with Ellen DeGeneres’ controlling ways for years. But she is finally ready to put her foot down. She is prepared for a change. If Ellen can’t get on board with her ultimatum, she is considering some time apart.
Given everything Ellen has been through over the past few years, Portia’s departure would likely send her over the edge. Right now, the future of their marriage reportedly lies in Ellen DeGeneres’ hands.
Portia de Rossi has been her rock for years. But there comes a time when her needs must be met as well. And it looks like that time has arrived. What happens next depends on Ellen, but if the rumors are true, it doesn’t look too promising.
