For the past several months Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have faced rumors of certain marital problems. While neither of them has spoken about the possible split, new report from People suggests that the couple are trying to work through their problems.

A source told the magazine: ”They’ve had their ups and downs. Portia has been very outspoken about previous issues, like her eating disorder, and she’s good at seeking help when she needs to.

”They’ve worked out difficulties in the past, and no doubt they’re trying to work out any problems right now.”

It is said that their current issues include Portia’s recent rehab stay. In May, the actress sought help for her drug and alcohol problems.

In addition to that, Ellen’s professional workload has reportedly come between them. The couple enjoy renovating houses together and Portia now feels like she’s doing all the work by herself.

The source added: ”At times Portia felt overwhelmed at all that goes into redoing a house and moving to another, no matter how lucrative it may be. She felt like she was doing everything herself and needed some downtime.”
