Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were recently spotted at their new $27.4 million home in Montecito, California, which they purchased privately last November.

On Friday morning, stars shared a video on Instagram of themselves dancing in costumes at a mansion’s backyard to the song ‘Do It’ by BT Express.

The talk show host announced a change in her preferred influencers, playfully stating she was ‘out’ with 6-7 and ‘in’ with 6-8, referencing her favorites, Your Chill Tias.

This comes just as it was claimed by UsWeekly that they will not be living in California full time.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m often asked about where people choose to put down roots. While my wife, Portia, and I did recently purchase a beautiful home in Montecito, we’re not planning on leaving the English countryside anytime soon! We truly settled in here back in 2024 and feel very at home.

According to a source, the couple still intends to make the UK their primary home, but they plan to spend several months each year in Montecito.

Ellen and Portia, married since 2008, finally moved to the Cotswolds in 2024 after thinking about it for a while.

According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly, the couple had been house hunting for a while but hadn’t committed to a specific timeline. Once they found a place they loved, they quickly made an offer.

Ellen previously claimed that ‘everything’ is ‘just better’ in the UK.

The TV star admitted that she was relishing her new lifestyle since making the move to England.

She described the area to Richard Bacon as ‘absolutely beautiful,’ noting that its charm comes from a refreshing simplicity. She explained that the villages, towns, and buildings are lovely, and represent a slower, more relaxed lifestyle that we don’t often see.

This place is so much nicer – the animals are well cared for, and everyone is friendly. I really enjoy being here.

Ellen, known for hosting a TV talk show from 2003 to 2022, shared that she’s been happily embracing a quieter, country life since moving outside the US in 2024.

We moved here in November, which wasn’t the best timing, but I finally got to see snow! We’re really enjoying it here. Portia brought her horses with her, I have chickens, and we even had sheep for a couple of weeks.

Ellen DeGeneres revealed that she and Portia de Rossi relocated to the UK following Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election.

She explained that they arrived the day before the election and woke up to a flood of worried texts from friends. When she realized the election outcome, she immediately said, ‘He won,’ and they decided to remain where they were.

In November, the couple finalized the purchase of a home formerly owned by Hollywood producer Brian Grazer, according to Realtor.com. The property is located in a wealthy neighborhood.

Public records show the property has a gated entrance, a long, curving driveway, and a spacious garage area.

This property sits on three acres of land and features a large, green lawn, established trees, and a spacious terrace. It also includes a pickleball court with a nearby cabana, and a small wooded area with more than a dozen trees.

You’ll also find a lap pool and hot tub, plus lots of room outside for dining and relaxing with comfortable furniture.

The property features a large, 8,700-square-foot main house, as well as a separate guest house located on the grounds.

According to Realtor.com, Grazer purchased the property in 2012 for $7.6 million and finished building the main house in 2015.

According to Realtor.com, the property was sold in a private transaction, which explains why there aren’t any pictures of the interior available on real estate websites.

According to reports, the private sale closed in late November and was handled through a trust associated with Ellen DeGeneres’ real estate investments.

People also reported on Tuesday that the home was bought by DeGeneres.
