Yahoo Lifestyle Ellen DeGeneres Has Reportedly Moved To England, And Here's Why
Ellen DeGeneres isn't just saying "bye-bye" to show business — apparently, she's saying it to the United States, too.
People reports that Ellen recently moved from the US to England after finding a house there that she "loved."
A source said, "Ellen was in England house hunting in the beginning of October. She ended up finding a house that she loved and purchased it shortly after."
An insider who works in real estate in California also told People that Ellen and her wife, Portia de Rossi, sold their Carpinteria home in August for $96 million.
TMZ was first to report the news. It also comes after images emerged of Ellen and Portia visiting journalist Jeremy Clarkson's pub, The Farmer's Dog, in the UK.
An Instagram video shared by the pub and singer Natalie Imbruglia shows Ellen and Portia enjoying a night out with friends. Ellen could be seen smiling and waving at the camera while listening to live music. She was also seen with short dark hair, marking a big change from her signature blond style.
"They hung out with [Clarkson's partner, actress] Lisa Hogan and James Blunt, and The Corrs performed at the pub," the People source shared.
So far, Ellen hasn't addressed the report. She has largely kept out of the spotlight since ending her eponymous daytime talk show in 2022 — two years after her toxic workplace scandal, in which current and former employees of the show alleged racism and workplace bullying to BuzzFeed News.
Ellen addressed the allegations on her show, saying that after the report, “I learned that things happened here that never should have happened."
"I take that very seriously," she added, "and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected. I know that I'm in a position of privilege and power, and I realized that with that comes responsibility, and I take responsibility for what happens at my show.”
Ellen announced her retirement in July, per SFGate, and in September, she released her final standup special, Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, on Netflix.
BuzzFeed has reached out to reps for Ellen for comment on the latest report — we'll let you know if we hear back. In the meantime, tell me what you think of this and if you'd ever move outside of your country in the comments.
