Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi selling UK home
Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi are selling their home in the UK just a year after they bought it because they needed more space. The couple moved to Britain in 2024 and snapped up a 43-acre estate in the Cotswolds for £20 million, but they have now put the property on the market for £22.5 million because they needed to move to a bigger house to accommodate Portia's horses which they have flown over from the US. Ellen explained the decision in a statement given to the Wall Street Journal via realtors Sotheby's: "When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses. "We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them. " The couple are believed to have already moved to another property with enough space for the horses while they wait for the six-bedroomed home to sell. The house in Oxfordshire boasts a two-bedroomed guest house as well as a swimming pool, gym and a "party barn" complete with its own pub. The publication reports the couple spent four and a half months renovating the property and only lived there for around four weeks before moving out. It comes after Ellen admitted she "loves" living in the UK. The couple had previously planned to only spend a few months in the country but soon decided to make the move permanent . Speaking to TV presenter Richard Bacon during her In Conversation with Ellen DeGeneres event at Cheltenham's Everyman theatre on July 20, Ellen explained: "It's absolutely beautiful. We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture - everything you see is charming and it's just a simpler way of life. "It's clean. Everything here is just better - the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here. "We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here." Ellen went on to explain they have moved Portia's beloved horses over from the US and they have expanded their animal menagerie. She added: "Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks."

Ellen DeGeneres wants to revive her career because she's 'a bit bored'
Ellen DeGeneres is hoping to revive her career because she's "a bit bored". The TV host's long-running series The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended in 2022 after 19 seasons on-air and she is now living in the UK countryside with her wife Portia de Rossi after they moved to the Cotswolds from California in November and Ellen revealed she's busy looking after her menagerie of farm animals which includes horses, sheep and chickens, but she's thinking about what to do next. Speaking to TV presenter Richard Bacon during her In Conversation with Ellen DeGeneres event at Cheltenham's Everyman theatre, Ellen explained: "I mean, I wish it [the talk show format worked], because I would do the same thing here [in the UK]. "I would love to do that again, but I just feel like people are watching on their phones, or people aren't really paying attention as much to televisions, because we're so inundated with with information and entertainment." Ellen added: "[I'll pick my next career move] very carefully. I just don't know what that is yet. I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens but I'm a little bit bored." Ellen's TV show ended following a slew of allegations about a "toxic" atmosphere onset - which prompted an on-air apology from the star - but she fears she will forever be painted as "mean". She explained: "It's as simple as, I'm a direct person, and I'm very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that ... I'm mean? ... "How dare us [women] have any kind of mood, or you can't be anything other than nice and sweet and kind and submissive and complacent ... "I don't think I can say anything that's ever going to get rid of that [reputation] or dispel it, which is hurtful to me. I hate it. I hate that people think that I'm that because I know who I am and I know that I'm an empathetic, compassionate person ... "[It] certainly an unpleasant way to end [the talk show]."

Ellen DeGeneres And Portia de Rossi May Remarry In The UK Amid Uncertainty In The US
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi may remarry in the UK if the US overturns same-sex marriage. They moved to the Cotswolds after Trump's 2024 re-election. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi are considering getting remarried in the UK if the US overturns same-sex marriage. The couple-whose move to the Cotswolds in South West England was spurred on by the re-election of President Donald Trump in 2024 – tied the knot during an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles, California, in 2008. But after a vote by Southern Baptists in June to endorse a resolution that would look to overturn Obergefell v Hodges – the Supreme Court case that legalised same-sex marriage across the US in June 2015 – Ellen and Portia are 'looking into" saying 'I do" in the UK to protect their marriage. Speaking to TV presenter Richard Bacon, 49, during her In Conversation with Ellen DeGeneres event at Cheltenham's Everyman theatre on July 20, she revealed: 'The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage. 'They're trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it. Portia and I are already looking into it, and if they do that, we're going to get married here. A reversal of Obergefell would not ban gay marriage, but would call 'for laws that affirm marriage between one man and one women". Later in the talk, Ellen, 67, expressed her sadness that not all societies accept people of all sexualities. She said. 'I wish we were at a place where it was not scary for people to be who they are. I wish that we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences. So until we're there, I think there's a hard place to say we have huge progress." Ellen confirmed she and Portia, 52, moved to the UK because of Donald Trump, 79, being re-elected as President of the United States in November 2024. Admitting that 'everything here is just better" after leaving the Republican Party-led country, the former talk-show host said: '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.' And we're like, 'We're staying here.'" Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
