With reports coming in of trouble at home for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi, it has many speculating that Ellen’s breakdown last week on her show had little to do with doggie woes, and more to do with the eminent demise of her three year relationship with Portia.

According to a source “Ellen would never have broken down like that on TV if things were right in her home life.”

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