Ellen DeGeneres no longer hides the truth about her life and career challenges.
This month, the comedian and former actress shocked the world by confirming that she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, had fled to England.
The couple is selling their forever mansion in California partly because of Donald Trump‘s reelection.
However, Ellen DeGeneres made the dramatic decision because a wave of personal and professional negativity had hit her.
DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are hopeful that relocating to the UK will give them the fresh start they need.
The former TV host, 66, and the actress, 51, have purchased a massive farmhouse in the Cotswolds, where they garden and raise animals.
Sources close to Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres told The Daily Mail that they had to “fight for so long” to save their marriage.
Indeed, the rumors are true. The Mail confirmed that the duo has had many complicated moments over the years where they were unsure their decade-long marriage would survive.
According to the person in the know, the marriage problems ballooned after Ellen DeGeneres’s two-decade-long talk show was brutally canceled following multiple accusations of toxic and inappropriate behavior on set.
The source said: “Ellen and Portia have had their share of ups and downs and had to fight to make it work for so long. Things have been very rocky ever since the show cancellation because, understandably, this shook Ellen. She went from being loved by everyone to the target for hatred.”
Ellen DeGeneres has been struggling emotionally to move beyond the horrific headlines about her personality as a boss. It was also revealed that other than the Netflix special, the actors are struggling to find work.
The source said: “She used to be the breadwinner, head of the household – and now she struggles to book work. They are not going to give up on each other just because there is a grey cloud looming. There is a lot of love left between them.”
According to the source, it is a high-risk gamble for the pair. Ellen DeGeneres believes the move will either break or make them because they are in a new country and have no friends or family.
This wild adventure also implies that the spouses face each other daily without the parachute or buffer of close confidantes to rely on.
A second insider added: ”They moved to the UK for a fresh start. It was a big step and will be a test of their relationship, but it was one that was needed. Portia is interested in doing some theater, but mostly, they are looking forward to spending their life together away from Hollywood.”
Fans are hoping they will make it work.
