Ellen DeGeneres gave fans a rare glimpse inside her England farmhouse after fleeing the US following President Donald Trump’s 2024 election win.
In a video clip shared to Instagram Monday, a gaggle of sheep entered the light-filled home of the former talk show host and her wife, Portia de Rossi, through sliding glass doors.
In one clip, the curious animals wandered over to the couple’s small dog, who was laying nearby in a dog bed.
In another clip, de Rossi could be heard shooing the sheep, one of which she called “Bernie,” out of the chic modernist house.
“You can’t be in here,” the “Arrested Development” star, 52, giggled from off-camera.
Inside the idyllic retreat, a leather armchair could be seen covered by a flannel blanket. A striped area rug covered the floor near the dog’s cushy bed.
In the second clip, a life-sized sheep sculpture stood watch near the sliding glass doors as the real sheep made their way back outside.
“We have house sheep,” DeGeneres, 67, wrote atop the video.
“Our sheep keep coming inside,” the comedian captioned the Instagram post.
“To be fair, we do have a piece of furniture that looks like a sheep, but that one doesn’t try to eat our rugs.”
Fans were thrilled with the peek inside the couple’s home across the pond — though some wanted to see more of their luxury surroundings.
“Love the house 😍,” commented a follower, while another wrote, “I need to see a full home tour please 👏😍.”
Others were enchanted by the appearance of the “house sheep.”
“To be fair, they wanted a change of scenery,” remarked a follower in part, while yet another joked, “I don’t see the issue ❤️.”
DeGeneres was previously spotted riding a lawnmower in England in May — presumably at the country estate — while showing off a rare glimpse of her brunette hair.
Shortly after the November 2024 election, de Rossi and DeGeneres were said to have been “very disillusioned.”
Insiders told TMZ at the time that the couple opted to “get the hell out” of the US “immediately” following Trump’s victory over Kamala Harris.
The outlet reported they purchased the property — located in the Cotswolds in South West England — prior to the 2024 election.
Though a report in November 2024 claimed the farmhouse had flooded, DeGeneres addressed the speculation on Instagram while observing her dating anniversary with de Rossi.
“20 years ago today we began this relationship not realizing what a long beautiful adventure this would be,” she captioned a selfie of the couple enjoying the sweeping countryside.
“You are the best thing that ever happened in my life. You take care of me. You help me see the good in everything. You help to guide me and pick me up when I feel off or down. You are a beautiful soul that I am so very grateful to have as a partner to navigate this crazy life with. My wife. My best friend. The love of my life. Thank you for being you and loving me. So happy we get to travel and explore the world together in the next 20 years, and looking forward to our first snowy Christmas.”
DeGeneres added, “P.S. for those of you concerned, our UK farmhouse did NOT flood.”
