Ellen DeGeneres' life after being ditched by Hollywood exposed in new video
Ellen DeGeneres is giving fans a glimpse inside her home in the English countryside.
In an Instagram post shared on Monday, the 67-year-old former talk-show host shared videos of the inside of her home, which she shares with her wife, Portia de Rossi, after their sheep found their way inside.
'Our sheep keep coming inside,' she wrote in the caption. 'To be fair, we do have a piece of furniture that looks like a sheep, but that one doesn't try to eat our rugs.'
In the first clip, the sheep can be seen coming inside via a floor-to-ceiling glass sliding door which had been left open. The view from the room featured a gravel courtyard with big bushes and trees, with a grass field visible in the background.
In the clip, the sheep can be seen getting a bit too close to the couple's dog, Kid, who leapt from his bed and quickly ran away from the flock of sheep.
De Rossi can be heard in the background asking, 'They're coming inside?' to which DeGeneres responded, 'Yeah, they're inside.'
A second clip was shot in a different part of the home, which also has floor-to-ceiling glass siding doors and large cement-style slab flooring. De Rossi can be heard in the video gently encouraging the sheep to go back outside, and praising one as it listens to her.
The couple moved to the Cotswolds in England in November 2024, after selling their home in Montecito, California in August of that year. A second home owned by the couple in the idyllic Santa Barbara town was later sold in 2025.
'Ellen was in England house hunting in the beginning of October,' an insider told People in November 2024. 'She ended up finding a house that she loved and purchased it shortly after.' Not long after moving into the home, DeGeneres shared a clip on Instagram, humorously hinting she isn't cut out for a specific household chore. She posted a video of herself attempting to mow the grass surrounding her home in the countryside.
The video began with the talk-show host successfully mowing a small section of grass, with the words 'how it started' written on the screen. It progressed to a video of DeGeneres struggling to drive the lawnmower uphill, as someone had to help her by pushing the mower from behind. The on-screen caption then changed to 'How it ended.'
'Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower,' DeGeneres wrote in the caption. 'She was right.'

Hollywood star Hugh Laurie's wild insult to his fans leaked by podcast host
A podcast host has leaked a shocking statement from Hugh Laurie that saw the Hollywood star insult his diehard fans. The British actor famously played the belovedly bitter Dr. Gregory House in US TV drama series House from 2004 to 2012. However, it's now emerged that he'd rather do anything other than look back fondly at his time on the smash hit show. During a recent episode of the Doctor Mike podcast, host Dr. Mikhail 'Mike' Varshavski was chatting to The Pitt star Noah Wyle when he revealed he had invited Laurie onto the show for a similar interview. Varshavski told Wyle: 'I love that you're still connected to your characters very much. Most that play a role like John Carter get tired of that association. In fact, we invited Hugh Laurie to our show.' Varshavski continued: 'His staff was like, 'Oh, this is a good fit, we're going to reach out to him and see what he thinks. I'm going to read you quote-unquote what he said: 'He is not interested in opportunities like this, frankly doesn't care about the audience or reliving the show.'' Wyle laughed and said: 'That's so baller.' Varshavski then added: 'It's just such a direct and honest reply. It's not that he doesn't want to do your show, just he doesn't want to be House MD ever again.' In 2013, Laurie opened up about his experience filming the show, telling Radio Times that his experience was 'a bit of a nightmare' overall, despite the hefty pay cheque. He admitted: 'At this distance it all sounds absurd. Ridiculous! After all, what was I doing other than playing about, telling stories with a very nice bunch of people? What could be constricting about that? 'But the repetition of any routine, day after month after year, can turn into a bit of a nightmare. I had some pretty bleak times, dark days when it seemed like there was no escape. And having a very Presbyterian work ethic, I was determined never to be late, not to miss a single day's filming. You wouldn't catch me phoning in to say, 'I think I may be coming down with the flu'.
