Ellen DeGeneres Takes a Permanent Leap to the U.K. — What’s Next for This Celebrity Couple?

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are stirring the pot, not just in Hollywood but across the pond as they embrace a new life in the U.K. After snagging a luxurious $27.4 million home in Montecito, California, the couple plans to live in the English countryside full-time. Their journey began in 2024, and following a whirlwind of emotions during the 2024 presidential election, Ellen made the bold choice to stay in England for good, much to the surprise of fans back home.

DeGeneres describes her life in the quaint U.K. as “absolutely beautiful,” highlighting the charm of the architecture and the peaceful atmosphere. This change has also brought her closer to nature. Ellen’s farming, gardening, and tending to her animals has reportedly made her happier than ever, creating a cozy nook away from the Hollywood hustle. It seems like life in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds suits them—who wouldn’t want to snuggle with some sheep?

Through all the changes, Ellen and Portia’s love for animals shines bright, as they’ve even flown horses and raised chickens in their new home. With such a dramatic lifestyle shift, it’s exciting to think about what the future holds for this beloved couple. Perhaps we’ll see more of Ellen’s laid-back lifestyle shared on her social media, bringing a slice of British countryside charm to her fans everywhere. Imagine that—an Ellen DeGeneres gardening show!
