Why did they pull the L.A. mansion off the market?
Ellen DeGeneres
and Portia de Rossi have been in the news a lot this year because of their actions in the UK and their apparent break with the US.

SFGate claims that the couple owns one last property in Los Angeles. The two paid $29 million for Tom Ford's former residence, which had five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, back in late 2022.
Live Events
After the house was renovated, they listed it for $33.9 million. Although many believed it had been sold, it was taken off the market.
It was only taken out in August 2024, and they listed it for $29.99 million earlier this year, which is less than a million dollars more than they paid for it.
In May 2025, however, they took their last remaining US home off the market, according to a Realtor.
Apparently, the reversal suggests they could use it as a part-time base instead of selling it at a loss. This has led to speculation that they might return to the US, even if only temporarily, as per a report by SheKnows.
How does this fit their long history of house flipping?
DeGeneres and Rossi first crossed paths at a Rock the Vote show in 2001. Nevertheless, it wasn't until 2004 that they finally met.
Rossi was with singer Francesca Gregorini when they reconnected in 2004, while DeGeneres was with photographer Alexandra Hedison. But they began dating after they parted ways with their respective partners.
They were married in August 2008 and have been together since then.
The two have experience purchasing and selling homes. Many people are speculating about the amount; some believe it to be in the 20s, while others believe it may be as high as 60.
FAQs
Are Ellen and Portia actually returning to the United States?
This is not confirmed. Pulling the listing indicates they are keeping options open, either waiting for a better price or planning to live stateside part-time.
Could the house be resold later?
The couple often relists properties when the market shifts, so another sales attempt or quiet off-market deal is still a possibility.

Kajol opens up about parenting Nysa and Yug with Ajay Devgn: ‘They are very much their own people'
Kajol , who tied the knot with actor Ajay Devgn in 1999, is a proud mother to two children—Nysa and Yug. While she rarely shies away from celebrating her family on social media, the actress recently opened up about her parenting journey, the bond her kids share with her and Ajay, and how motherhood changed her. When asked if her children are more attached to her or Ajay, Kajol responded with her trademark wit and warmth, saying, 'They are both my children, I want to tell you that. Ajay Devgn is stage pe nahin baitha hua hai. Bata du. So they are both, honestly, they are my kids, they are his kids, they are our kids. And I am very proud to say that they are very much their own people.' 'I am Yug': Her son's diplomatic answer stole her heart Sharing an adorable anecdote from a conversation with her son Yug, Kajol recalled asking him who he wanted to resemble more—her or Ajay. She told Pinkvilla, 'I remember asking Yug, 'Who do you want to look like? Me or papa? Tell me fast.' He looked at me like I was holding a gun to his head and very calmly said, 'I look like Yug. I am Yug.'' The Maa actress said that moment summed up her children's individuality perfectly. 'I'm very, very happy to say that I've brought up two individuals who have their own personalities, who I hope I've taught to think for themselves. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 신차장기렌트 선납금 없어도 월 20만원대부터 가능할까? 렌트데이 더 알아보기 Undo That's been my biggest teaching as a parent.' On returning home: 'I am only mom' When Kajol walks back into her home after work, the transformation is instant. 'Mein jab bhi ghar pahunchti hu toh my kids are more like 'mumma', there's the whining and the 'why didn't you do this and why didn't you do that' that starts up. Once I see them, I am only mom. There's no other character I can play at that point.' Kajol Returns in Spine-Chilling Horror Drama 'MAA' | Myth Meets Fear Reflecting on the moment she first became a mother with the birth of Nysa in 2003, Kajol said, 'When Nysa was born, I felt like that's one exam I can't fail. I think my real-life performance has taken more out of me than any film will ever in my life demand of me.' Kajol is currently promoting her upcoming horror-mythology film Maa, directed by Vishal Furia and produced by Ajay Devgn. The film is slated for release on June 27.
