Late last year, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi lost their dog, Augie, in a tragic event. On Instagram, the couple posted about leaving their home in Montecito, California, for the Cotswolds in the UK. Twelve years ago, DeGeneres and de Rossi adopted Augie, and he quickly became beloved in their family and often appeared on the show. The announcement came after DeGeneres had taken some time off social media after relocating.

Ellen DeGeneres takes time in her post to praise Augie for making a difference and comments on their unique friendship. Famous faces and many fans, including Andy Lassner, the former producer, and PETA, expressed condolences. PETA shared Augie’s rescue to encourage people to consider pet adoption. Since they relocated to the UK and have faced the loss, the public’s focus has shifted to their attempt at peaceable rural living and their own personal life changes.

Ellen Degeneres new Beginnings in the Cotswolds

DeGeneres and de Rossi purchased an $18 million estate in the Cotswolds shortly after the 2024 U.S. presidential election. October saw the pair begin reviewing properties, and they confirmed their move right after, wanting a quieter way of living. Their decision to relocate comes with a new, large property in the area celebrities often choose, after owning several properties in Montecito. The couple is starting over at their new estate in the Cotswolds, and Ellen DeGeneres has given fans a glimpse of the work they do around their property.

Moving abroad is becoming popular among public figures, including comedian Rosie O’Donnell, who settled in Ireland. Since coming to the UK, the couple has tried to keep things private, with only rare social media posts giving us a glimpse of their life here. They have chosen rural life as a way to seek privacy and some peace after years surrounded by the public.

Showcasing a Fresh Appearance and Brand Promotion

On Monday, the comedian shared a Kind Science video on social media with an intro from her stepson, Augie, who spoke about the brand. The last video DeGeneres posted before his death included a shot of her new dark brown hair, a change from her blonde hairstyle. Many fans were happy and complimented the duo for how they looked as a result of the transformation. The post also recognized Augie, as Ellen DeGeneres mentioned the support they had gotten from their followers.

The video talked about the work the couple does, in spite of the personal issues they must overcome. Kind Science belongs to her lifestyle brand activities, just as Ed by Ellen includes a line of pet items. The Cotswolds’ countryside made the promotion look even more appealing and fit with the company’s integration into the British countryside. Although she doesn’t always post on social media, fans enjoy both personal (e.g., her pets) and work-related (e.g., her talk show appearances) posts from her.

Through the experiences of both hardship and hope in the Cotswolds, the couple impresses with their ability to keep moving forward. After finishing The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2022 and her recent Netflix special, Ellen has chosen to concentrate on personal projects. Since moving, coping with Augie’s death, and learning to handle a new appearance for Ellen, the couple have spent time dealing with sorrow and learning to adjust. Fans of One Direction enjoy following their lives, whether it’s suggestions of keeping their memories alive or getting a look at their lives in the UK.
