After her workplace environment scandal, Ellen DeGeneres got a bit quiet. Although DeGeneres still worked in Hollywood, The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended in late May 2022, and people didn’t hear about her quite as much.

A scandal can definitely affect a couple’s marriage. Sometimes, a pair splits up right away. Other times, they try their best to stay together, but the negative attention and stories can become too much and divorce is inevitable. While Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are still married, it’s possible that everything that DeGeneres went through led to a rough patch in their relationship…

De Rossi said:

“We’ve grown together as a couple, and we really consider each other and put our relationship first. By doing that, you become a lot more solid. I can’t imagine spending time with anyone but her.”

In the same interview, DeGeneres talked about how her wife was there for her after the scandal and opened up quite a lot:

“It broke my heart; I couldn’t have gone through everything I went through without her. It was a horrible time in my life, and she was a rock. She kept me going and tried to help me put things in perspective.”

Besides making a public statement on her Instagram account and being interviewed by People, Portia De Rossi didn’t seem to say much else about this period. However, whenever she has talked about Ellen DeGeneres in the past, she sounds grateful to have found a partnership like this one.

Anne Heche gave Portia de Rossi a big warning prior to the start of her relationship alongside Ellen DeGeneres.

According to Pride.org, De Rossi was on the cover of Advocate magazine in March 2010, and she shared a lot about her long-term relationship.

De Rossi said that she really loved being married:

“I thought I’d feel more blasé about it, more comfortable. But it’s the complete opposite-I’ve become a lot less selfish. I’m constantly thinking about her needs and our needs as a team. It’s a lovely, symbiotic partnership. Who knew marriage could be like that? I’d only heard bad things about it.”
