Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are fighting because of Jennifer Aniston?

The tabloid NW published a story based on an anonymous source’s account that Jen and Ellen have been spending so much time together recently. This has reportedly made Portia very uncomfortable, causing another slew of alleged marital issues. “Ellen has always had the hots for Jen,” the paper’s tipster said.

Ellen and Jen, based on the same source, were reportedly having drinks for several nights recently while they have intimate conversations. The report further claimed that Portia “has always been insecure” about the status of their marriage, and Ellen’s bond with Jen is reportedly not helping the “Arrested Development” alum to feel any better. The insider also mentioned that Ellen is reportedly going as far as sneaking out to meet with Brad Pitt’s ex-wife, and all these instances have reportedly led to a very serious fight between the married couple with Ellen walking out of their house at one point.

Before fans of the three women worry, note that this wild rumor has recently been debunked by fact-checking news outlet Gossip Cop. The publication reached out to its source close to Ellen, and they reportedly found the story to be simply laughable for its inaccuracies.
