After years of TV talk-show hijinks, it’s time to put family first
More than 15 years since her talk show first aired, Ellen DeGeneres is planning to throw in the towel on her biggest TV success – because her wife Portia de Rossi is laying down the law!
“Portia is urging Ellen to quit while she’s ahead,” an insider tells Woman’s Day. “She’s been super-supportive of her wife’s career, but at this point, Ellen is 60, and Portia wants her to slow down and stop being such a workaholic.”
Ellen admitted during an interview late last year that while her brother Vance, who is also a comedian, has been encouraging her to stick with the show, Portia, 45, desperately wants her to give it up. “She gets mad when my brother tells me I can’t stop,” the star explained.
Portia added, “I just think she’s such a brilliant actress and stand-up that it doesn’t have to be this talk show for her creativity. There are other things she could tackle. I don’t see the end of her show as her career ending.”
