BREAKING: Ellen DeGeneres Spotted with New Companion Following Reported Split from Portia de Rossi

Ellen DeGeneres appears to be entering a new chapter in her life following reports of a separation from her longtime partner, Portia de Rossi.

The television host was recently seen accompanied by a new male companion, sparking public interest and media speculation.

DeGeneres and de Rossi first met backstage at a concert in 2001. Their connection was immediate, though at the time, de Rossi had not publicly come out, and her feelings for DeGeneres remained unspoken.

It wasn’t until three years later that the two finally acknowledged their mutual affection.

The couple officially began dating in 2004 after reconnecting at an event. By the following year, DeGeneres described de Rossi as her soulmate.

Their relationship continued to flourish, and when same-sex marriage was legalized in California in 2008, the pair tied the knot in an intimate ceremony.

Over the years, DeGeneres and de Rossi remained one of Hollywood’s most admired couples, frequently appearing together at red carpet events and supporting each other’s careers.

While neither party has publicly confirmed the split, recent sightings of DeGeneres suggest she may be moving forward personally, hinting at a “fresh start” post-separation.
