“Ellen has been rethinking everything since turning 59" on January 26, an insider exclusively told OK! "The big question’s been how long she really wants to do this, and the answer is not much longer."

"She’s contracted to do the show through May 2020 but after that she’s outta there." Although the actress and talk show host usually signs full four-year contracts, it is highly unlikely that she'll be working her magic on-screen until age 68.

"She doesn't have a lot left to prove in the talk show slot, and she’s got to put Portia first if she wants her shaky marriage to survive,” the insider added.
