Now settled full-time in England's idyllic Cotswolds region, the former talk show host and her wife have traded red carpets for rolling pastures and studio lights for sunlit stables.

After stepping away from American television, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, made a dramatic life change. In 2024, following the cancellation of DeGeneres' long-running talk show, the couple left the U.S. behind entirely.

After a final stand-up tour across the country, they settled in the Cotswolds — a scenic stretch of the English countryside known for its rolling hills, honey-colored stone villages, and quiet charm.

DeGeneres and de Rossi, who are known for their multimillion-dollar home-flipping ventures in California, then wasted no time transferring that passion to their new life abroad. Within months of their relocation, the couple purchased two rural estates in the region.

The first, Kitesbridge Farm, sat on a sweeping 43-acre plot and cost them around $20 million in the spring of 2024. As expected, the pair undertook a full renovation of the property before placing it back on the market.

In 2025, a year after purchasing it, Kitesbridge was listed for £22.5 million — roughly $30 million — through U.K. Sotheby's International Realty. While the home had been reimagined under their direction, the couple ultimately needed more space.

"When we decided to live here full-time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses," DeGeneres said in a statement shared via Sotheby's. "We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them."

That need led them to their second and now permanent residence — a sleek, glass-walled contemporary farmhouse nearby. The new property offers ample room for de Rossi's horses, which the couple had flown over from the U.S.

"It's absolutely beautiful," DeGeneres revealed of their new surroundings. "We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture — everything you see is charming, and it's just a simpler way of life."

Through photos and videos shared on social media, the former talk show host has offered rare glimpses into this quieter chapter, often featuring farm animals and snapshots of their new rural routine.

Set against the rolling hills and timeless stone villages of the Cotswolds, DeGeneres and de Rossi's countryside estate offers more than just a place to live — it provides a lifestyle rooted in nature, rhythm, and simplicity.

The sprawling property is defined by wide-open pastures, rows of well-kept trees, and sweeping views of the English countryside that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Expansive meadows blend seamlessly with quiet woodlands, while winding dirt paths connect the working areas of the land to its more serene corners.

The couple's daily routines now revolve around the natural flow of the farm — mowing grass, tending to animals, and walking the land with their dogs at their side.

DeGeneres and de Rossi have embraced farm life wholeheartedly, welcoming chickens, sheep, and other livestock into their daily lives.

The chickens, with their speckled feathers and assertive personalities, roam a custom coop and aren't shy about climbing onto DeGeneres' lap during her morning rounds.

The sheep, meanwhile, graze freely across the pastures. Each animal seems to have found its place on the property, just as the couple has. Whether feeding the flock or simply sitting quietly among them, DeGeneres appears content in these quiet, unscripted moments.

Tucked into one side of the estate is a barn that blends the rustic charm of country living with the clean lines of modern design. Purpose-built for function yet thoughtfully styled, the space houses the couple's horses in roomy, well-ventilated stalls.

Beyond the stalls, there's a warm, lived-in seating area that adds an unexpected layer of comfort. Worn leather armchairs, vintage trunks, and wool blankets give the space a cozy, lounge-like atmosphere.

The open-plan layout is expansive, yet carefully curated. At the center sits a large glass table topped with neatly stacked books, sculptural objects, and clusters of candles — each piece artfully placed.

Soft-looking, patterned rugs stretch across the polished concrete floors, defining each area while adding warmth to the modern space. But even with the refined setting, the room is anything but sterile.

Ellen DeGeneres and de Rossi's Cotswolds retreat is more than a stunning piece of real estate — it's a portrait of a new chapter.

What began as a transatlantic move has evolved into a slower, more grounded way of living, centered on animals, open land, and the kind of peace that can't be found in Hollywood.
