Two decades of love and adventure

Despite their move to the UK, Ellen and Portia’s relationship flourishes. Their move follows Ellen’s decision to withdraw from her public career. Once a beloved talk show host, the star faced accusations of fostering a toxic workplace environment, leading to the end of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” in 2022.
Looking forward together
In November, a source close to DeGeneres said the couple’s decision to move was spurred by the 2024 election of Donald Trump and their desire to make a fresh start in the United States.
Their Montecito estate, a luxury property they bought in 2019 and is located near other well-known stars like Oprah, is either already listed in the pocket or will soon be officially listed for sale. This sprawling home is their primary residence just north of Los Angeles. What will happen to their other properties in Southern California remains to be seen.
