Ellen Degeneres now lives in England: she sold her house in California

Ellen Degeneres (67) finally turns back to the United States. The former talk show icon sold its luxurious beach house in Montecito, California, for $ 5.2 million-and thus drawn the line among their lives in the United States. Together with his wife Portia de Rossi (52), she begins a new chapter in the UK, more precisely in the idyllic Cotswolds.

According to the report, the sale of her beach house was at lightning speed: It was only on March 10th that the house was listed for $ 4.995 million, just ten days later it was already sold over the offer price. The property, built in 1954 and renovated in 2021, offers two bedrooms and a picturesque view of the California coast on 167 square meters – but this outlook is now history.

A few months ago, it was announced that Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi moved their center of life to England and acquired a property in the Cotswolds, which lies from London, two hours – allegedly not least because of the political situation in the United States. Donald Trump’s new election in November 2024 is said to have played a significant role in the decision.

In the Cotswolds, the two have now moved into a $ 18 million country house, supposedly surrounded by prominent neighbors such as David and Victoria Beckham.

Ellen Degeneres had increasingly withdrawn from the Hollywood entertainment industry for several years. The former moderator of the “Ellen Degeneres Show” said goodbye to television in 2022 according to bullying allegations and more and more from the public. Her focus was recently on real estate transactions.

Degeneres and de Rossi have been married since 2008 and only celebrated the 20th anniversary of their relationship this week. “20 years together. Happy to be everywhere and always with you,” wrote Ellen Degeneres.
