Ellen DeGeneres has largely stepped out of the spotlight and has been spending her time between the U.K. and California with her wife, Portia de Rossi, focusing on a quieter, more private life after her talk show ended in 2022.

Quick Scoop: Where’s Ellen DeGeneres Now?

After nearly 20 years on air, The Ellen DeGeneres Show wrapped up in May 2022, and Ellen intentionally pulled back from constant media attention. In the years since, she has shifted into a low‑key, semi-retired lifestyle rather than launching another big daily TV project.

Move to England (and Why)

  • Ellen and Portia bought a home in the English countryside, specifically in the Cotswolds area, after house-hunting in England around late 2024.
  • They were spotted at local places like a countryside pub owned by Jeremy Clarkson, mingling with British entertainment figures and enjoying a more rural, private environment.
  • Reports and sources noted that part of the appeal was a “fresh start” after the talk-show era and the workplace controversy, combined with a desire for a slower, more anonymous life.

Hint of a Return to California

  • After more than a year in the British countryside, multiple entertainment reports in late 2025 and early 2026 said Ellen and Portia were planning to spend more time back in California.
  • Friends and insiders claimed they missed the warm weather, their social circle, and that Portia was interested in acting again, nudging them back toward Los Angeles/Montecito life.
  • The reports describe it less as a full “move back” and more as splitting time, with an eye on reviving some show-business activity while still keeping a more controlled public presence.

What She’s Doing (Career‑wise)

  • Ellen has said on stage that after her final stand-up tour and an upcoming Netflix special, she intends to be “done” with big public-facing work, suggesting no new daily show is coming.
  • Officially, there’s no major new TV series announced; instead, her brand continues online via social channels and legacy content from The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
  • Behind the scenes, she remains active in real estate (buying, renovating, and selling high-end homes) and maintains ties to entertainment but on her own terms and schedule.

Why People Keep Asking “Where Is She?”

  • Ending a long-running hit show, especially after controversy about a “toxic” workplace culture, created a sharp contrast with her former “everywhere” presence.
  • Her own comments about disappearing from the public eye and “being done” with fame fueled speculation and forum threads about whether she truly retired or was “canceled.”
  • At this point, the reality looks more like voluntary semi-retirement: fewer cameras, more privacy, and only selective re-engagement with Hollywood.
