Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were seen enjoying an acoustic performance at a rural pub in England amid reports they’ve moved to the U.K. and plan to sell their California home.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are seemingly loving life across the pond.
Amid multiple reports that the couple has moved to England in the wake of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s electoral victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, Ellen and Portia appear to be happily enjoying their time in England.
Earlier this month, the couple stepped out for date night at Burford, U.K. pub The Farmer’s Dog, which is owned by U.K. talk show host Jeremy Clarkson, as seen in footage on the pub’s Instagram page.
At one point in the Nov. 13 video, Jeremy’s girlfriend Lisa Hogan turned the camera to show the Arrested Development alum seated beside the former daytime star, who flashed a smile and gave a wave to the camera. The clip also featured “Torn” singer Natalie Imbruglia belting along as The Corrs gave an acoustic performance, while “You’re Beautiful” singer James Blunt was also tagged in the caption of the post.
“What a great night in the pub with @thecorrsofficial,” the caption read. “The way a good pub night should be… acoustic set, a few drinks, great friends.”
Ellen, 66, and Portia, 51, have owned several properties in the U.S. including a home in Montecito, Calif., which also boasts such high-profile residents as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as well as Oprah Winfrey. Now, the couple—who wed in 2008—have reportedly relocated to rural Cotswolds, England, and plan to sell their Montecito property, according to TheWrap and TMZ.

While Ellen has taken a step back from the spotlight since the end of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2022, she released what she called her final comedy special on Netflix in September addressing allegations of a “toxic work environment” at the show, joking she had been “kicked out of show business.”
“I’m a comedian who got a talk show, and I ended the show everyday by saying, ‘Be kind to one another,’” she explained in Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval. “Had I ended my show by saying, ‘Go f–k yourselves,’ people would have been pleasantly surprised to find out I’m kind.”
