Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi made all the right moves when they plopped themselves into their “dream life” in the Cotwolds.
The former talk show host shared a sweet Instagram clip of de Rossi’s horseback ride through the U.K. countryside, and it looked like it was straight out of a fairytale. With Taylor Swift’s single, “August,” playing in the background, the Arrested Development star dreamily looked at historic architecture, galloped through the forest, and took in the lush green landscape — it was pure heaven.

DeGeneres shared her thoughts in the post’s caption, “Portia’s living her dream riding her horse through the English countryside and into the village. Gosh, I hope she comes home soon.”
Us Weekly sources claim DeGeneres “has found her happy place” after relocating to the U.K. due to the results of the November 2024 election. “It’s a different lifestyle for her. She’s very chill and in her element,” the insider said. The 67-year-old TV personality and her 52-year-old wife aren’t exactly retired, but they are being selective about the projects they work on. They are content with their sprawling 10,000-square-foot home, Hiaven, that they bought for a reported $26 million.
DeGeneres and de Rossi sold all of their remaining California properties and no longer have ties to the U.S. — the U.K. is officially their home. The move was only supposed to be temporary, but Donald Trump’s win changed their plans because they no longer felt safe.
“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’ And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here,’” she said in a conversation with British host Richard Bacon in July, per the BBC. “We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.”
Country living is exactly what DeGeneres and de Rossi needed, and it’s giving them the fairytale life they’ve always dreamed of.
