IS ELLEN'S MARRIAGE OVER TOO?

It’s been the year from hell for embattled Ellen DeGeneres, and ending her wildly successful show under the weight of bullying claims is only the beginning.

After being forced to defend herself over claims she’s a monster boss to everyone from her assistants and producers to her home security, Woman’s Day can reveal she’s also staring down the barrel of a divorce from her Aussie wife Portia De Rossi.

Ellen, 63, has admitted she’s been staying with longtime friend Courteney Cox in Malibu, and it’s believed Portia, 48, is remaining at their Montecito mansion alone.

Ellen has also been spotted out and about not wearing her wedding ring.

HIGHLY STRUNG

“Portia obviously knew Ellen could be a little difficult at times, but always put it down to stress,” our source reveals. “It’s not easy being the face of a world-famous show and as an actress, Portia knows entertainment types can be highly strung.

“But as more and more anecdotes and accusations about how to mean Ellen supposedly is tumbled out over the past year, Portia was finding it harder to deal with it all.”
