Ellen DeGeneres Portia De Rossi Divorce Rumors: Talk Show Host Shuts Down Gossip

Last Tuesday, while sitting down for Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show, Ellen DeGeneres has set the record straight - that she and Portia de Rossi are not living separate lives nor are headed for a $220 million divorce battle. DeGeneres admitted that she is usually the last to know every time her marriage to de Rossi lands on the gossip page and is described as on the rocks.

"We don't know anything about it until somebody tells us.  I don't read the tabloids, and I don't have a publicist," says the 57-year old comedian to Stern.

"I don't understand why they do this. We're kind of flattered because for a while no one cared about us and we thought 'Oh, lesbians aren't worthy of tabloid stories' so now we're kind of flattered that they care about us," DeGeneres said.

"We really don't almost break up, we don't fight, we're madly in love, and I guess it's boring," she added.  

Her statement last Tuesday is not the first time the daytime talk show has denied and spoken out against the divorce rumors.

This isn't the first time the daytime talk show host has spoken out against the rumors. The news about their 'split' has been a hot item for quite a while now. In fact, late last year, DeGeneres devoted a monologue on her talk show to dispel the reports.

"It's so ridiculous to me. There's not one ounce of truth to any of it. I'm very happily married. In fact, the only thing we ever argue about is who loves who more. That is all. It really is true, "she further commented.

It was in 1997 when De Generes came out as lesbian. Before her present marriage, she was in a relationship with actress Anne Heche and director/photographer Alexandra Hedison. She and de Rossi were married in 2008 and just celebrated their 7th wedding anniversary last Aug. 16.
