Ellen DeGeneres stepped away from the spotlight after allegations of fostering a toxic work environment tarnished her public image. She and her wife decided to leave behind their Montecito, California mansion, relocating to the United Kingdom.
They purchased a multi-million-dollar farmhouse complete with 43 acres of land, fully embracing a life of rural charm. Settling in the Cotswolds, a quintessentially British region known for its rolling green fields, historic villages, and cozy pubs, Ellen and her wife seemed to embrace the idyllic lifestyle. With endless opportunities to enjoy Sunday roasts in a different pub each week, it appeared to be a dream come true.
However, Ellen has recently been spotted back in the U.S., leaving behind her Cotswolds estate. She was seen visiting Casa Dorinda, a luxury retirement home in California, sparking speculation that her wife’s mother may have been relocated there.
While it’s unclear how long Ellen plans to stay, her visit hints at unfinished business despite her earlier claims of never returning to the U.S. after Donald Trump’s election.
Only time will tell if Ellen plans to return to her U.K. retreat or make her California comeback more permanent.
