Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi may have quietly upgraded their UK residence, if a new video shared by DeGeneres is anything to go by. On May 4, the former daytime talk show host posted a humorous clip filmed by de Rossi, showing her attempting to mow the lawn of what appears to be a sprawling new estate.
“Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower. She was right,” DeGeneres captioned the video. In the light-hearted footage, DeGeneres is seen operating a ride-on lawn mower before ultimately needing assistance to push it back, drawing laughter from viewers.

While the video may seem like just another playful peek into their lives, fans and insiders believe it subtly confirms a major real estate shift — that the couple has moved from their beloved countryside cottage to a larger luxury mansion in the UK.
Sources told the Daily Mail earlier this week that the couple has vacated their $15 million Cotswolds dream home and purchased a more upscale estate approximately 30 minutes away. Though DeGeneres and de Rossi have not publicly addressed the move, the new video appears to offer a glimpse of their rumored new property.
The couple’s time in the Cotswolds hasn’t been without its challenges. While rumors of severe flooding were previously denied, the risk reportedly remained a concern. Additionally, tensions with local residents may have contributed to their decision to move. According to Daily Mail, neighbors claim the couple committed a “technical breach” in a “planning clash” after building an unauthorized extension to their home, drawing the ire of a high-profile member of the community.

DeGeneres and de Rossi’s journey together began in 2001 when they met at a Rock the Vote concert. Though both were in other relationships at the time — DeGeneres with photographer Alexandra Hedison and de Rossi with singer Francesca Gregorini — they reconnected in 2004 and soon began dating. The pair married in August 2008 in an intimate ceremony at their former Beverly Hills home and have remained inseparable since.
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the couple made headlines by selling off their California real estate portfolio and relocating to the UK. The reasons behind their move have been widely speculated, with sources citing possible political disillusionment, California’s high tax rates, and a desire for privacy. Though neither DeGeneres nor de Rossi has officially confirmed the property switch, fans are taking the lawnmower video as a subtle but telling clue.
