Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi list sprawling farmhouse for $45m

News.com.au2 days ago
Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi are offloading their sprawling UK farmhouse for a whopping $US30 million ($A45 million).
In November, the couple fled the US and relocated to the Cotswolds, a known favourite among the Hollywood elite.
But just one year after purchasing the lavish estate, the pair have now listed it for sale, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The former talk show host, 67, and the 'Arrested Development' alum, 52, forked over roughly $US20 million ($A30 million) for the property last year, the outlet adds.
'When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses,' DeGeneres told the outlet.
'We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.'
The couple have reportedly already relocated to a nearby home that can better house their pets and animals.
According to the official listing, Sotheby's International Realty notes the property boasts seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
Dubbed the 'Kitesbridge Farm', the estate also features a two-bedroom guest cottage equipped with a kitchen and sitting room, as well as a 'heated' five-car garage that comes with its own kitchenette.
The house also has a 'party barn' with a bar, a heated indoor swimming pool, a gym, a kitchen garden, and multiple outdoor living areas. A helicopter shed is also included.
News of the listing comes just days after the comedian confirmed she and de Rossi decided to pack up and move to the UK because of President Donald Trump's re-election.
DeGeneres detailed her new life across the pond during a conversation with British host Richard Bacon onstage in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Sunday, per the BBC.
Admitting that the pair had initially only planned to stay in the UK for a couple of months, they ultimately pulled the trigger on a permanent move in November following Trump's historic win over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in,' ' she said. 'And we're like, 'We're staying here.' '

Prince William, Kate Middleton eyeing new royal home

Prince William and Kate Middleton are looking at moving on from Adelaide Cottage to a larger home. It's understood the Prince and Princess of Wales, who are looking to upsize to a grander royal residence, may consider relocating to Fort Belvedere, the Daily Mail reports. The property was the favourite home of Edward VIII, who lived there before he became king and after he abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. Known as The Fort, the sprawling estate features an outdoor swimming pool and tennis court. It also boasts a rose garden, walled garden, kitchen garden, large greenhouse, stables, two lakes, paddocks and three cottages for staff. RELATED: Meghan's next move after Netflix disaster 'Toxic': King's staff stage mass exodus George must abide by sad rule 'They feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage and need somewhere more substantial,' a source told the Daily Mail. 'This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis.' William and Kate were previously reported to be offered the keys to Royal Lodge, the large Windsor home where Prince Andrew lives. The Duke of York, who moved into the 30-room mansion in 2004, has refused to move, after taking on a 'cast-iron lease' that lasts until 2078. Another plan to move the family into a wing of Windsor Castle also seems to be off the table. William and Kate moved their family into Adelaide Cottage in 2022. Before living in the four-bedroom home, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, and their parents lived in a lavish 20-room Kensington Palace apartment, which has been dubbed a 'prison for kids'. The family lived in Apartment 1A from 2017 to 2022, and Kate and William still use it as their official office, The Sun reports. Although it is called an 'apartment', royal experts have said the royal dwelling is anything but small. The 'enormous' Apartment 1A is spread over four floors and takes up half the Clock Tower wing designed by Sir Christopher Wren for King William and Queen Mary. It has five reception rooms, three main bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, as well as his-and-hers dressing rooms. There are nine bedrooms for staff on the top floor, which can be reached by a lift. In the basement, there is a gym, laundry room and space for luggage. Despite the impressive amenities, William and Kate uprooted their kids in 2022 for a more rural and private life out of the 'goldfish bowl' of central London. Sources said the couple dreamt of having a 'modest' home with a garden so the children could play outside together. Parts of this story first appeared in The Sun and was republished with permission.

Danika Mason cops heartbreaking blow as rugby league boyfriend Liam Knight makes move

Channel 9 presenter Danika Mason has copped a brutal blow with her rugby league boyfriend, Liam Knight, set to spend the next year on the other side of the world. Knight, who signed a deal to join Super League club Hull FC back in March, has set the league alight since making the move from Australia. As a result of his excellent start to the 2025 season, the 30-year-old has been rewarded with a new 12-month contract. While it shows Knight is thriving in his career, it means he will continue to be more than 17,000km away from the Wide World of Sports host, who recently replaced Alex Cullen on Nine's Today Show. Knight, who hails from Alice Springs, was released by the Canterbury Bulldogs last year, after playing just two matches for the club in 2024. He was quickly snapped up by Hull ahead of the 2025 season. Knight was originally set to spend seven months in the UK playing for Hull. But after becoming a fan favourite and one of the club's most consistent players, he penned a new 12-month deal. 'I'm stoked to be staying here – I really love this club and I'm really excited to see what we can keep building over the next 12 months,' Knight told the club's website announcing the news of his re-signing. 'I've really fallen in love with the fans and the atmosphere, both home and away – they're so dedicated. I love the playing group we have here and the coaching staff too – it's a fun place to come to work and that's being reflected in our performances.' While his career is thriving, it is a tough blow to his budding relationship with Mason. The couple's relationship became the talk of the rugby league world last year after Mason split with fiancee Todd Liubinskas in 2023 and called off their wedding, just weeks before they were set to get married. The exact reason for the couple's split remains unclear and became a topic of much speculation among footy and media insiders, with the party line being that it was due to a breakdown in trust. Mason was first pictured on a date with Knight at The Butler restaurant in Sydney's Potts Point in February 2024 before the pair confirmed they were together on Instagram in July. Knight posted a loved-up snap of the pair embracing with the caption: 'My life's good.' Despite the distance that now separates them, the pair have remained together. And while it is undoubtedly hard to be away from his partner, Knight revealed his move to Hull has helped him rediscover his love for rugby league. 'It's been a real ride so far – I got off the plane in March and jumped straight into it,' Knight said. 'I didn't have much of a pre-season, so the first few weeks were about building some fitness, and I feel like I've been building week to week and contributing to the team. 'I had a couple of tough years back home in regards to injury, so coming over to England was a bit of a clean slate for me. I've really found my love for the sport again, so this move has been a massive blessing for me.'
