Reclusive Ellen DeGeneres shares rare glimpse at new life after being forced out of $450 million career
After seemingly cutting one of her final ties in the United States, selling one of her final houses, Ellen DeGeneres is sharing a brief glimpse at her new life in the British countryside after leaving her $450 million career behind. The 67-year-old comedienne took to Instagram on Monday to share a snap of her wife Portia de Rossi, 52, taking a picture of a rainbow. '3 things that make me happy: My Wife A Rainbow And my wife taking a photograph of a Rainbow,' Ellen said in the caption of her post to her 136 million followers. She has rarely shared a glimpse at herself in recent weeks, populating her social media feed with old clips from her syndicated daily talk show that ended in 2022. Ellen shared an ad she filmed for her Kind Science brand's new skin hydration cream last week, though the last glimpse of herself was back in March, when she was on safari somewhere in Africa. The couple relocated from the exclusive celebrity enclave in Montecito, California to the Cotswolds area of the U.K., reportedly due to the election of Donald Trump. DeGeneres was first rocked by scandal in 2020, when a Buzzfeed report detailed her executive producers engaging in harassment and creating a toxic work environment. While she apologized for the controversy and vowed to take steps to change the show's culture, the show ultimately came to a close at the end of her contract in the 2021-2022 season. Last year, she said in a stand-up performance in Santa Rosa, California that she was planning on leaving show business entirely after her Netflix special was out. 'This is the last time you're going to see me. After my Netflix special, I 'm done,' Ellen told the crowd last summer. 'Let me catch you up on what's been going on with me since you last saw me. I got chickens. Oh yeah, and I got kicked out of show business for being mean,' she said. During her stand-up set, she also, 'admitted to being harsh and said she was a very immature boss.' 'I used to say, "I don't care what people say about me." Now I realize I said that during the height of my popularity,' she said during the stand-up show. Her Netflix special Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval - which she was paid a whopping $20 million for - was filmed at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis in August 2024 and debuted on the streaming service one month later. Her new life in the U.K. didn't get off to a great start, when she upset her heiress neighbor in the Cotswolds when trying to build an extension onto her farm house. The former talk show host reportedly committed a 'technical breach' according to heiress Rosie Pearson, the youngest of the late Viscount Cowdray's six offspring. Pearson believes the work Ellen wants to do may 'disturb Roman remains' which lead to Pearson contacting local planning authorities. Just a month later, it was reported that Ellen and Portia may have been considering leaving their £15 million historic farmhouse after it was surrounded by local floodwater. 'Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into. First there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property,' a source told Mail Online.
