Montecito, California – Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have recently sold one of their properties, signaling a change in their real estate portfolio. The couple parted ways with their two-bedroom, two-bathroom beach bungalow in Montecito, California, which they had purchased in 2020 for $2.9 million. Listed for $4.995 million on March 10, the property was quickly snatched up for $5.2 million just ten days later.
Situated near Butterfly Beach, the 1954 property had been remodeled in 2012 to feature a “spa-like” bathroom, “sun-drenched” patios, a private courtyard, “lush” gardens, and soundproof fencing. This bungalow was just one of several residences the couple owned in the United States before they made the decision to relocate to the English countryside.
Shortly after President Trump’s election win in 2024, reports surfaced that DeGeneres and de Rossi were planning to move to the United Kingdom, a decision allegedly driven by President Trump’s win. Currently, the couple resides in the UK and has purchased a property in the Cotswolds region of England.
To dismiss rumors that their English farmhouse had been affected by flooding, DeGeneres took to social media in December 2024 to clarify that their residence remained unaffected. She shared a heartfelt post celebrating their 20th dating anniversary, expressing gratitude for the journey they had shared together. DeGeneres and de Rossi, who have been married since August 2008, have enjoyed a strong and enduring relationship for 20 years.
DeGeneres’ fans were treated to an updated hairstyle following the couple’s move to the UK, displaying darker locks with more natural highlights. Despite the challenges of relocation and adapting to a new country, DeGeneres expressed her happiness and contentment in being by her wife’s side. As they embark on the next chapter of their lives together, the couple looks forward to exploring the world and creating more memories in the years to come.
