Desiring a more relaxed lifestyle and increased privacy, the couple chose to reside in the picturesque Cotswolds — a rural area celebrated for its serene beauty and appeal to celebrities.
Following the sale of their California home, Ellen and Portia embraced a country lifestyle. Their daily activities now include caring for chickens,
looking after their horses, and appreciating the splendor of nature. Ellen frequently shares insights into their uncomplicated
way of life on social media, which is filled with humor, animals, and sincere reflections.
Speaking at an event in Cheltenham, Ellen commended the UK’s natural beauty, its cleaner environment, and a sense
of kindness that she finds refreshing. She suggested that the relocation was partly motivated by increasing social tension in
the U.S. and a longing for a more inclusive, peaceful environment.
The couple is even contemplating renewing their vows as they adapt to this new chapter. For Ellen,
life now revolves less around fame and more around connection — to Portia, to the land, and to a more purposeful way of living.
From glamorous red carpets to tranquil hills, Ellen’s journey illustrates that sometimes peace starts with a significant change — and a multitude of chickens.
