Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi
Ellen and Portia were one of the first Hollywood couples to marry after the overturn of the same-sex marriage ban in California in 2008. The couple, who have been together since 2004, live in Beverly Hills.“Ellen took my breath away . . . that had never happened to me in my life, where I saw somebody and experienced all of those things you hear about in songs and read about in poetry. My knees were weak,” de Rossi told The Advocate. REUTERS

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi might put up a good front in public, but divorce rumors have begun to pop up since “Modern Family” actress Sofia Vergara broke up with fiance Nick Loeb, the Inquistr reported.

The news site said it would be hard to tell there is anything wrong with DeGeneres and de Rossi’s relationship from the outside. They were recently photographed looking happy as they held hands and walked down the street. But behind closed doors their romance is supposedly plagued with jealousy and insecurity.

“Portia always resented Ellen’s friendship with Sofia, and now that Sofia is leaning on Ellen for support, she’s even more jealous,” a source told OK Magazine, according to the Inquisitr.

But the rumor seems strange, especially since Vergara is straight and just got out of a relationship with a man. That aside, divorce rumors about DeGeneres and her lady love have been swirling for months. In February the comedian denied the claims to People, saying she can’t help but fall more in love with her wife.

"The truth is, and this is corny, I fall more in love with Portia all the time. I really do. She surprises me all the time," the 2014 Oscar host told the news site. "It's what anyone experiences when you find that person that gets you, wants to take care of you, wants the best for you. We're really lucky because we know how rare it is."

Then she added: "I love her so much it kills me.”
