Ellen DeGeneres has made headlines with her recent purchase of a USD 27 million mansion in Montecito, California, as reported by the Times of India. This acquisition comes after her publicized move to the United Kingdom in 2024, where she and her wife, Portia de Rossi, bought a USD 14 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds. According to an insider quoted by the Times of India, Ellen plans to "split her time between both the UK and Montecito," indicating a dual residency approach. Geo Entertainment further elaborates that the mansion was purchased from movie producer Brian Grazer, adding to the allure of the property. This move is particularly interesting given Ellen's previous statements about leaving the US following Donald Trump's reelection, highlighting a shift in her residential preferences.
