Ellen DeGeneres Shares English Countryside Life with Wife Portia de Rossi
Ellen DeGeneres has offered fans a peek into her new life in the English countryside. The former talk show host, who relocated from the US last year, shared a photo on Instagram showcasing a scenic view of her wife, Portia de Rossi, admiring a double rainbow.
Rainbows and Reflections
DeGeneres, 67, captioned the social media post, “3 things that make me happy: My Wife. A Rainbow. And my wife taking a photograph of a Rainbow.” The image captured de Rossi, 52, photographing the vibrant double rainbow arcing across the picturesque landscape of rural England.
Fan Reactions and Cotswolds Life
The heartwarming snapshot of de Rossi and the double rainbow garnered numerous comments from admirers and followers of the well-known couple. “Aw how lovely,” one follower commented, “I hope ur settling into the UK.” Another added, “Nothing tops this, love, light, and a rainbow.”
One Instagram user made a poignant remark referencing recent news events, while another shared a local perspective, commenting, “We’ve had lots of beautiful rainbows in the Cotswolds today.”
Relocation to the UK
DeGeneres and de Rossi’s move to England reportedly occurred following the 2024 US presidential election. They established themselves in an expansive $18 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds, a prestigious area in South West England favored by celebrities such as David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, and Hugh Grant.

Celebrating Milestones in England
The couple recently commemorated their 20th anniversary at their Cotswolds residence on March 19. DeGeneres commemorated the occasion by sharing a charming photo of herself and de Rossi set against the backdrop of the South West England sky.
“20 years together,” the former television personality wrote. “Happy to be with you everywhere and always.”
Adjusting to Cotswolds Life
However, their transition to the UK hasn’t been without minor challenges. Reports suggest DeGeneres and de Rossi encountered some disagreements with their Cotswolds neighbors regarding a property extension matter at their lavish home.
Despite this, DeGeneres has been observed enjoying local hotspots in the UK. One local source recounted an encounter with DeGeneres shortly after her move, noting her “country casual” attire and understated presence.
The resident commented that while DeGeneres remains recognizable, she is perceived as “definitely a lot less well-known” in the UK, particularly in the Cotswolds, where celebrity status is less emphasized.
“People know who she is, but the thing about the Cotswolds is no one gives a f–k if you’re Kate Moss or the farmer’s wife,” the resident reportedly stated.
