Since Ellen has fled the US, she has resided in two country homes, but the first was far from the couple’s ideal home. The couples have since found happiness in their new homes, as well as sheep.
Ellen DeGeneres, 67, quietly moved to the UK after Donald Trump’s re-election in 2024, ditching her $96million (£71million) California estate for the rolling hills of the Cotswolds.
While Ellen and Portia originally snapped up a sprawling 43-acre farmhouse, things didn’t go to plan. The luxury mansion bought as a dream escape was reportedly hit with epic flooding, and locals say nearby roads were left five feet under water. The couple are also said to have struggled with tight country roads, even needing to detour a mile and a half just to get around traffic bollards.
Now, they’ve moved to a second property perched on higher ground in Oxfordshire and the new spot already seems like a better match – no flooding, fewer detours and as fans have seen this week, plenty of space for sheep to roam.. or sneak inside
Ellen shared a sweet photo of Portia taking a rainbow from their hilltop garden this week, giving us a sneak peek inside. She captioned the photo, “My wife, a rainbow, and my wife taking a photograph of a rainbow.”
She’s also been demonstrating their expanding animal family, including their brand-new sheep, who have made a great family.
Four sheep were seen startling their tiny dog while they were sweeping through the couple’s open-plan home in a recent Instagram video. “They’re inside”? Ellen calmly responds, “Yeah, they’re inside,” when Portia asks.
One of the sheep named Bernie strolls indoors in another clip that Portia shot. She chuckles, “Oh no, Bernie, you can’t be in here,” and gently leads her back.
Ellen had just a few days earlier posted footage of the sheep climbing into the chicken coop. That’s not what you eat, I tell you! She rebuked them and chased them away from the camera.
However, the couple is embracing rural life, chickens included. Not everything has been overlooked, though. Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, recently roasted Ellen at a lavish charity event where he joked, “She left right after the election… now she’s the nicest person in France.”
She actually lives in the English countryside, which is inaccurate.
Ellen previously refuted claims that she is “mean,” saying in a stand-up interview that she can be “tough and demanding… but not mean.”
With their new £15 million hilltop home, which has stunning views, a sustainable drainage system, and hopefully fewer surprises, the couple appear to be settling into village life despite the storms.
