Is Ellen DeGeneres giving up on the chance that she and wife Portia de Rossi could sort things out before they get out of hand?

In Touch magazine dropped a bombshell this week when it reported that the TV personality has dropped out of the couple therapy sessions she and de Rossi are undergoing to save their relationship.

Previous reports claimed that DeGeneres and de Rossi's marriage has been strained by the alleged cheating scandal of the former and the drinking problems of the latter.

Sources even dished that though the couple looked very happy when they attended the People's Choice Awards, things are very different when they are away from the public's eyes, Celebrity Dirty Laundry has learned.

"Ellen was doing all the schmoozing and Portia was just kind of being dragged along," an insider said. "There didn't seem to be any positive energy between the two."

The same insider insisted that the couple's marriage is in absolute crisis saying, "They're always trying to downplay their problems, but privately they're still arguing over everything." 

So what could be the reason why DeGeneres bowed out from the couple therapy sessions that they were supposed to have for a couple more months? 

"But now Ellen's decided to stop going to marriage counseling. She thought it was too time-consuming and a waste," a source said.

"Ellen is so insecure. She's terrified Portia is going to meet someone younger and prettier. She's not just worried about Portia meeting another woman, either. Her biggest fear is that Portia will go back to men," the source added.

It can be noted that the twosome engaged into having therapy after de Rossi decided to spend time in a rehab facility for her alcohol addiction amid reports that DeGeneres cheated on her.

On the other hand, DeGeneres has again and again said that there is no truth in these breakup and divorce rumors, reports Closer Weekly.

"It's so ridiculous to me," DeGeneres said. There's not one ounce of truth to any of it. I'm very happily married. In fact, the only thing we ever argue about it who loves who more."

She then assured their fans that she's so into de Rossi because "I fall more in love with Portia all the time."
