Is power couple Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi going the direction of Splitsville?
Rumors have been widely circulating lately about the impending divorce of the celebrity couple especially after a reported blowout fight on Sunday, reports Page Six.
Degeneres and De Rossi were said to be on their way to a charity fund-raiser for rescued animals when an epic fight erupted between the two at the car, preventing them to attend the event, said Fox News.
Page Six details that the two were listed and pictured in the Saving SPOT! invite as event hosts.
A non-profit organization working to rescue stray dogs and give them to caring owners, Saving SPOT! draws the support of the power couple. Last year, the organization also held a benefit event in Beverly Hills where Ellen and Portia attended, the report said.
Sources told Page Six that the couple were very enthusiastic to attend this year's Saving SPOT! event and be listed as hosts.
When the site broke the news about their being unable to attend the event, Ellen and Portia issued a statement to Page Six that read: "We were happy to lend our names as honorary chairs and the organization was always aware that we would be unable to attend. This is the first time that we have seen our images attached to the invite. It was not approved and it is misleading."
Saving SPOT! cannot be reached for comment on the couple's statements.
Denial
Ellen Degeneres also doused cold water on the divorce rumors and also about the epic fight that reportedly erupted between her and her wife.
Helping out Ellen in denying the supposed big fight she had with her wife was her lawyer Marty Singer, Fox News noted.
"The story (about the fight and not attending the fund-raiser) is a complete lie. My client told the organizer they never agreed nor planned to attend the event. There was no fight that caused them not to attend," divulges Ellen's attorney.
As early as December last year, rumors of divorce between the couple have been going around and as it turned out, those were only rumors.
The Huffington Post also believes that there is nothing to worry about the marriage of Ellen and Portia because the talk show host said so herself on the Wednesday episode of her talk show.
"It's (divorce rumors) so ridiculous to me. There's not one ounce of truth to any of it. I am very happily married. In fact, the only thing we ever argue about is who loves who more. That is all. It really is true," Ellen said.
