   Report claims there’s trouble in paradise for Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres

In May this year, actress Sofia Vergara confirmed that she and fiancé Nick Loeb had called off their 2-year engagement and were looking to going separate ways in the future. According to a new report, the stunner is now single and in the market for a new romance – and she’s even considering switching lanes.

OK! Magazine writes in its latest print issue (story via Inquistr) that Sofia, though never involved in anything but straight relationships, might be infatuated with good friend Ellen DeGeneres. That wouldn’t be a problem, since Ellen is out and proud, if she weren’t married to TV actress Portia de Rossi.

The two have been together since 2004 and were married in a beautiful and very intimate ceremony in 2008. Every once in a while, they make headlines with breakup / divorce / cheating rumors but there’s never any truth to them, as far as fans know – and this also seems to be the case here.

According to the tab, Sofia and Ellen have grown very close since the former’s split from Loeb. It doesn’t say whether they’re close enough to be lovers, but there’s a certain implication there that this is where they’re heading. The whole thing is bothering Portia to the extreme, as you might imagine.

“Portia always resented Ellen’s friendship with Sofia, and now that Sofia is leaning on Ellen for support, she’s even more jealous,” says an insider.

Whether a coincidence or not, Ellen and Portia were photographed together in New York, out for a romantic stroll hand in hand, just last week. So they’re either putting up a united front for the paparazzi (which, for the record, they have never been known to do) or there’s really no truth to the report above.

Sofia, meanwhile, is focusing on her career. Since the split, she was romantically linked in the press with Tom Cruise, but there was no actual evidence of a romance, and the report did not come with a follow-up.

“Not that anyone should care, but in order to not give the press the chance to invent crazy and hurtful drama, I prefer to tell my fans personally that Nick and I have decided to be apart,” Sofia announced on her social media account after the split.

“We have been having too many problems with having to figure out how to spend time together and because of my work and now his, it's been getting worse and worse, not fun anymore,” she continued.

Previously, Sofia had hinted that she wanted a huge wedding, something wild and super fun that she and all her friends would remember for ever. Nick isn’t the guy she’ll be having it with.
