Ellen DeGeneres sells $5.2M Montecito home as she and Portia de Rossi move to the UK

Ellen DeGeneres has officially wrapped up another chapter of her life in the United States, selling one of her last remaining homes in California. The former talk show host, and her wife, Portia de Rossi have been gradually moving away from their U.S. properties after settling into a new life in the English countryside.

Their latest sale, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom bungalow in Montecito, fetched $5.2 million—$200,000 over the asking price after just 10 days on the market. The couple originally purchased the mid-century modern home in 2021 for $2.9 million, making a significant profit in the sale. Located near Butterfly Beach, the 1,691-square-foot house features spa-like bathrooms, an enclosed patio, and a lush courtyard designed for privacy and relaxation.

Abhishek Bachchan says Aishwarya Rai’s ‘I want to talk’ call stresses him, fans are in splits!

At the Showsha Reel Awards 2025, Abhishek Bachchan bagged the Best Actor award for his gripping performance in I Want to Talk, helmed by Shoojit Sircar. While his win was a significant milestone in his career, it was a light-hearted exchange with Arjun Kapoor that became the talk of the town.
