ELLEN DeGeneres‘ marriage to Portia de Rossi is on the rocks, according to reports — and it’s down to the talk-show host’s continued, roaring success.

The couple — who married in 2008 — are being driven further and fur­ther apart as Ellen’s career continues to soar to new heights.

“Sadly, Ellen and Portia’s re­lationship is quickly becoming just another typical Hollywood cliché,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“The more success and wealth they accumulate, the deeper the wedge between them.”

Ellen, 54, who rakes in a reported $45 million a year, has become obsessed with purchas­ing real estate as a way to fill the void in her relationship with Por­tia, 39.

“Ellen is grasping at straws in her des­perate attempt to keep Portia happy by amassing all of that wealth, but it’s be­coming blatantly obvious that it’s forcing them further apart,” said the source.

“At this point, the only thing that’s go­ing to save Ellen and Portia’s relationship is to find a way to make Ellen’s success secondary to what really matters – their love for each other.”
