Ellen DeGeneresand her wife Portia de Rossimoved to England back in November 2024.
During a recent sit-down interview in the town of Cheltenham, UK, with journalist Richard Bacon, the former TV host gave a detailed update on what life has really been like across the pond.
First and foremost, the couple quickly adapted to the country lifestyle and at one point in time were riding lawn mowers on a daily basis, just to keep their pastures down for the horses.
The constant maintenance frustrated Ellen and she recalled that she told Portia: "We just can't keep up with this." Portia came up with the idea to buy sheep, which led to a domino effect of trial and error for the pair.
Ellen shared: "[Portia] said, 'Let's just get four sheep to put in the pastures with the horses,' and we did. And the next morning they were just out and they were gone. They just climbed right out and then I had to buy electric fencing."
One would assume the problem would end there, but instead it had just begun. The entertainer expressed: "They were in there for a week. Then one got out and then they all got out. And then I was like I have to build an actual fence. So we built a fence and it was so ugly, it ruined everything. So I had to pay to take the fence down."

Grass always looks greener on the other side. Pun intended.
She and Portia can make the gay gringo version of “Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm.”
That would actually be a funny remake
Why do you have to keep a pasture mowed for horses? They do that automatically.
“Childish lazy ignorant entitled rich people.”
heck, even Marie Antoinette did better with her Queen’s Hamlet farm on the grounds of Versailles, that is until she lost her head ...
Which is why they need a sheep dog and a shepherd. Did they not have a farm hand? I bet the locals at the pub have been rolling on the floor laughing.
Who gets to play Ralph the plumber and Mr. Kimball?
She’s trying hard to look like a man.
This is why the British landed gentry have tenant farmers who take care of the property and livestock for them.
Wannabe aristo Ellen might have asked the actual peers of the realm for advice before plunging in.
Where are her neighbors? In the country neighbor helps neighbor out. Maybe they should have been a little less uppity and condescending.
She seems Good at directing contractors on multi-million refurb jobs though...
As pigs go Arnold was quite svelte.
Yes. I’m a big fan. 🐖
Rachel Maddow for Ralph and Adam Sandler for Mr. Kimball.
Ask me if I believe that these two were not using hired hands to do almost all of the work except for when they took photos of themselves on a tractor or some other piece of equipment. These two and Rosie leaving the USA was simply one more giant plus achievement for President Trump. All we need now is for the rest of the so-called celebrities who hate DJT to leave the USA permanently. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Insanity to pack up and move to another country just because someone gets elected for 4 years ,LOL
Weren't there some Freepers talking about fleeing the country if 0bama got (re) elected? Later it was Biden. Of course, knowing FR, such statements were likely just hot air.
