Sat Mar 15 08:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Ellen DeGeneres Officially Cuts Ties with US, Lists Final California Home
**Montecito, CA –** Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are completely severing their ties to the United States, listing their last remaining California property for $5 million. The two-bedroom Montecito home, purchased in 2020 for $2.9 million, went on the market on March 10th, five months after the couple relocated to the Cotswolds in the UK.
This sale follows a series of high-profile real estate transactions over the past year, including the sale of a $96 million Carpinteria estate in August 2024 and a $32 million Montecito mansion in February 2024. In January 2025, DeGeneres also listed another Montecito home for $29.99 million. The couple’s move to the UK was reported last November, with sources suggesting their decision was influenced by Donald Trump’s presidential win. DeGeneres was a vocal supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 election.
The couple’s prolific real estate activity over the past decade has established them as significant players in the California market, consistently buying, renovating, and selling properties for substantial profits. While the couple has not explicitly stated their reasons for leaving the US beyond the initial reports, the series of property sales suggests a complete departure from their American life.
