Latest News about Ellen Degeneres
Ellen DeGeneres celebrated her 68th birthday on January 26, 2026, at her new $27.4 million Montecito mansion in California alongside wife Portia de Rossi. The couple shared a photo from the sun-soaked estate, fueling rumors of a partial return to the U.S. after their relocation to the U.K. This property was purchased in an off-market deal closing in late November 2025 from producer Brian Grazer.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi bought a $27.4 million three-acre estate in Montecito, California, in an off-market transaction closing in late November 2025. The modern residence, featuring three bedrooms, six baths, and two guest cottages, was originally built in 2015 by seller Brian Grazer after he razed prior structures. The purchase comes a year after the couple moved to England, acquiring properties in the Cotswolds including a farmhouse later listed for $30.5 million and a glass-walled equestrian estate.
