Ellen DeGeneres is now sharing a new chapter of her life in the serene U.K. countryside, showcasing not only her changing environment but also a fresh look as she sports a different hairstyle. In a recent Instagram post dated May 4, the former host of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” unveiled a grayer, brunette style while enjoying a playful moment on a lawn mower alongside her wife, Portia de Rossi. She shared, “Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower. She was right.”
Just a few days earlier, DeGeneres had shared a video of her and Rossi enjoying a rowing outing, playfully commenting on her new experiences: “Life update- Portia and I are now rowers. We’ve already learned so much. For example, did you know the pointy end of the boat is the front?”
DeGeneres and Rossi reportedly made the move to the U.K. following the fallout from a workplace scandal that engulfed her talk show in 2020. The allegations highlighted toxic workplace conditions, and in response, DeGeneres has openly expressed her regret, stating, “I learned that things happened here that never should have happened.” Her show concluded in 2022, marking a significant transition in her career.
In her stand-up special “Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval,” which premiered on Netflix in September, she addressed the controversy once again, reflecting on her experiences and the challenges of being in the public eye. She humorously quipped about being “kicked out of show business” for being rude, noting that it seems a “triple crown” of challenges involves being mean, old, and gay. DeGeneres also mentioned her decision to seek therapy to cope with the backlash, highlighting the unusual nature of her situation.
As she embraces this new phase of life, fans can take comfort in seeing DeGeneres transition to a more peaceful setting, with her humor and resilience shining through even in the face of past difficulties. This illustrates a hopeful narrative of personal growth and reinvention, reassuring her audience that there can be light and laughter even after turbulent times.
