Ellen Degeneres Wife: Divorce Looming As Talk Show Host Is Caught On Date? [VIDEO]
As they prepare to celebrate their nine year wedding anniversary, Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi have been faced with a shocking rumor.
According to the report, which has since been proved false, Degeneres was recently seen enjoying a lunch date with a mystery woman in Los Angeles and the outing between them was said to be romantic.
"Where's Portia? Ellen Dines With Mystery Brunette Amidst Marriage Trouble" reads a headline shared by Radar Online, via a report by Gossip Cop on June 5.
The Radar Online report went on to reveal that Degeneres' marriage to the actress had allegedly "hit a crisis in recent months" while the talk show host seemed to be carefree during her day out with her mystery brunette.
The outlet also said that Degeneres looked "cheerful" as she had lunch with the woman, but is allegedly known to sulk while out in public with De Rossi.
In response to the report, a source close to the talk show host revealed to Gossip Cop that Degeneres and the mystery brunette were not out on a date and the insinuation that they were is simply "ridiculous."
Degeneres and De Rossi have been married since 2008 and at the end of last year, Degeneres gushed over their relationship.
"Portia and I constantly say to each other, 'We are so lucky.' Sometimes it's lying in bed at night before I go to sleep, and I just say thank you to whatever, whoever is out there," she said during an interview with People magazine.
"I've gotten to a place where I really am just settled. Really. I know that I'm not going anywhere. She's not going anywhere. I'm not saying the relationship took a while; I'm saying in my life, it took a while to find this."
