Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are taking steps to rejuvenate their relationship following a challenging few years.
After Ellen faced accusations of creating a toxic work environment on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the couple has turned to hypnosis to restore balance and happiness in their marriage.
“Ellen has been using hypnosis for a while, and now she’s introduced Portia to it,” an insider exclusively revealed to In Touch. “They attend sessions together, and it’s been incredibly beneficial for their mental and physical well-being.”
Ellen, 66, and Portia, 51, have been married since 2008 but faced difficulties after the allegations against Ellen came to light.
With the help of relaxation techniques like hypnosis, the couple is rediscovering the love that brought them together.
“It’s helping them let go of past struggles and remember why they fell in love,” the source explained. “They hardly argue anymore, and Ellen feels more at ease, which has given her the confidence to return to stand-up with Portia by her side.”
Marriage under strain
Despite their progress, the couple’s relationship hasn’t been without challenges. Sources previously shared that Ellen‘s constant presence at home after retiring from her talk show put strain on their marriage.
Portia, who had encouraged Ellen to step back from work, reportedly struggled with the loss of personal space. However, with their renewed focus on mental well-being, the pair is navigating these obstacles with newfound harmony.
Though Ellen has expressed that she’s nearing the end of her public career, with no plans for future projects, her commitment to her marriage and personal growth remains stronger than ever.
