Ellen DeGeneres has officially retired from the entertainment world and prioritized her health and relationship. The TV host and Portia de Rossi have been married since 2008.
The actresses fell in love with each other’s characters and shared passions, including the arts and remodeling houses.
However, after many years together, the marriage hit two serious bumps — Ellen DeGeneres’s work-related drama and the subsequent cancellation of her character.
Ellen DeGeneres has been stressed out and frustrated by the abrupt end of her stellar career. The comedian has also found herself in a transition period, going from being an overtimer and overachiever to being forced to retire prematurely.
The significant changes in Ellen DeGeneres’s life have put her relationship through some struggles. However, the entertainer is determined to go the extra mile to keep her marriage alive.
According to In Touch, Portia de Rossi and her spouse have been seeing a trained therapist who uses hypnotherapy to help couples reconnect at a more proud level.
An insider told the publication that while semiconscious and deep in relaxation and concentration, the couple can remind each other why they fell for each other and why their marriage is worth the efforts and sacrifices.
The family friend claimed: “Falling into a soothing, half-conscious state is something they look forward to, like taking a nice nap on holiday. It reminds them why they fell in love and creates a fresh start by helping them get over things from the painful past, such as Ellen‘s cancellation.”
The person in the know stated that Ellen DeGeneres has been able to live a happier life since seeing the expert. The source explained: “They hardly argue anymore, and Ellen’s happier than she’s been in a long while. She can get back to her stand-up routine with confidence and know she’ll have Portia at her back.”
It has been previously reported that Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres often had bitter arguments because they were both stuck at home with little work to do.
The insider shared the following information about the drama between the pair: “Ellen being home all the time has taken a toll on their marriage. And Portia isn’t working much, either. They’re always in each other’s faces, and frankly, they’re getting on each other’s nerves. Now Portia probably wishes she hadn’t. She doesn’t have her space. Every time she turns around, there’s Ellen… Ellen has lost so much in recent years — it would be terrible if she lost Portia, too.”
The two celebrities have made the right call, according to supporters.
