Ellen and Portia Move to UK, Celebrate Anniversary

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have sold their Montecito home for $5.2 million, marking a significant profit from their 2021 purchase price of $2.9 million. The couple moved to the UK in November 2024, reportedly motivated by disillusionment following Donald Trump’s reelection. DeGeneres and de Rossi had already secured property in the Cotswolds prior to the election, and their relocation coincided with their 20th anniversary, which DeGeneres celebrated on social media by dispelling rumors of flooding at their new residence. The couple plans to remain in the UK indefinitely, feeling disenchanted with the political climate in the US.
