Celebrity Couple Embraces Life in the English Countryside

Comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has shared a rare glimpse into her and wife Portia de Rossi’s idyllic life in the English countryside. In a recent video, de Rossi is seen riding confidently across grassy pastures near their second home, immersed in her passion for horses.

DeGeneres captured the moment in an Instagram clip, captioning it with, “Portia’s living her dream riding her horse through the English countryside and into the village. Gosh I hope she comes home soon.”

This announcement follows their decision to sell their farm estate in Cotswolds, England, about a month ago. The 43-acre property, which features several interconnected structures and extensive living space, was renovated extensively, allowing them to ask for $10 million more than their initial purchase price.

DeGeneres explained they’d chosen this location because Portia’s equine passions required a home with proper facilities. The couple relocated from the US in response to the 2024 presidential election, seeking a quieter, more humane environment. DeGeneres expressed her admiration for the region, praising its beauty, cleanliness, and the kindness of its people, describing it as a simpler and more appealing way of life.
