Their bitter bust-up is set to get messy!
Twenty years after Ellen DeGeneres first came out via a magazine cover declaring, “Yep, I’m gay!”, the talk-show queen may be set to make another shocking announcement: “Yep, I’m single!”
As rumours swirl about a nasty split between the TV superstar and her wife of eight years, Aussie actress Portia de Rossi, the pair are selling off their assets – and Woman’s Day has learnt a divorce is imminent.
Ellen is said to have hired top celebrity divorce lawyer Sorrell Trope, who represented Nicole Kidman in her split from Tom Cruise and was employed by Britney Spears when she divorced Kevin Federline.
With the Finding Dory star, 59, boasting a fortune of more than $450 million and Scandal actress Portia, 44, reported to be worth almost $30 million, the split is set to be one of the messiest and most expensive Hollywood has ever seen, due to the fact no prenuptial agreement was ever signed.
“It’s going to be a battle and Ellen has been warned that she may need to hand over 50% of everything she owns, given there’s no legal documentation to protect her money,” a source close to the couple reveals.
