Married Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi Divorce Split: Cheating Drove Drunk Wife into Rehab? [GOSSIP UPDATE]

While day time talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and Arrested Development wife Portia de Rossi would have probably liked to keep the Ally McBeal actress' reportedly recent stay in drugs and alcohol rehab a secret indefinitely, word has gotten out despite their best efforts. The comedienne has repeatedly denied allegations that her marriage was on the brink of divorce, but according to the latest tabloid gossip news updates it was fears that Ellen was still cheating that drove drunk de Rossi into rehab. Word has it that Ellen now knows that if things don't change a newly sober Portia will split.

It has gotten out that Portia de Rossi is reported to have recently spent a 30-day stint in Passages Malibu rehab center.

According to a source who spoke to In Touch Weekly for their July 28, print edition, Portia drank herself sick trying to cope with her doubts about DeGeneres fidelity:

"[Portia thinks Ellen] had an affair with one of their mutual friends right before Portia's rehab stint in May.

"It drove her to the edge and made her drink more and more.

"The fear over cheating is what led to some of their ugliest blow ups...it made everything that was already going on with Portia even worse."

The way the supposed insider tells it things aren't much better now that Portia is back at home with Ellen either:

"She can't get the phrase, 'Once a cheater, always a cheater,' out of her mind.

"It's going to take a lot for Portia to trust Ellen again...There is still so much tension between them.

"And Elle still drinks in front of Portia--that doesn't help.

"Portia is having huge problems forgiving Ellen for betraying her."

That being said; the source does go on to say that Ellen is trying to rebuild their shattered dreams--in her own way:

"Ellen wants to honor Portia, her struggles and their love together after all they've been through.

"They kept up with the therapy after Portia got out of rehab, but they still have a long way to go.

"They may never really find their way back to each other."

Umm...can't they always just use that iPhone locator app if they ever get separated?
