Ellen and Portia Splits?

According to Star Magazine, the reason Ellen broke down in tears on her show recently had little to do with the destiny of her little rescued pooch Iggy and more to do with her 3-year relationship to Portia coming to an end.

Star writes:
"According to multiple sources, [Ellen's] really in pain because her three-year romance with actress Portia de Rossi is all but over."

"Ellen would never have broken down like that on TV if things were right in her home life," one source tells Star.

"Portia has been telling Ellen she's very unhappy at home," says a second source. "When it comes down to it, she wants to be with someone younger ad hotter. She wants out, but Ellen has been begging her to stay. Portia is really everything in this world to her."

"The Star article is fabricated and false," DeGeneres' publicist said Friday. "If you believe Star and other tabloids are reliable sources, then they [DeGeneres and De Rossi] have had multiple children and marriages, as well."
