Ellen DeGeneres shows off her new look and shares a glimpse into farm life as she gardens and feeds chickens after moving to the English countryside

Ellen DeGeneres shared a glimpse into farm life on Wednesday as she tended to her garden and fed chickens after moving to the English countryside.

The former talk show host, 67,  moved to the UK with her wife Portia de Rossi following Donald Trump’s presidential win late last year in November.

But Ellen and Portia recently relocated to a different property near Oxfordshire after their Cotswolds home suffered severe flooding shortly after moving in. 

However, they seem to have settled into their new home well as they shared snippets of their day-to-day life on the farm.

Ellen cut a casual figure in brown trousers and a blue hoodie as she got to work with a grᴀss trimmer, donning a protective mask.

Portia filmed as she encouragingly quipped: ‘Good job, baby’ as Ellen got stuck into the gardening task.

She also threw herself into trimming flower bushes in a field on their property, before the couple got to feeding their chickens.

‘Come on chickens,’ she shouted as she threw food at the animals who ran over to be fed. 

In the clip, Ellen also showcased her new hairstyle as she opted for natural brunette locks rather than her usual bleached blonde. 

She joked in the caption: ‘Some people have a dream of becoming a farmer. Clearly our dream was to become a landscape maintenance crew with a little farming on the side.’

It comes after Ellen shared another glimpse into her English life while taking on the task of mowing the grᴀss. 

In the she sat on top of a yellow mower and revealed that she has ditched her signature blonde locks for a brunette shade. 

The star could be seen steering the mower through a large field as a layer of gray clouds filled the sky. 

Text was added towards the bottom of the reel which read, ‘How it started.’ The video then cut to Ellen being ᴀssisted by an individual after the machine seemingly broke down on a steep hill.

The clip concluded as more text popped up onto the screen which said, ‘How it ended.’ 

The comedian also penned in the caption: ‘Portia thought it would be fun to film my first time on the mower. She was right.’ 

Before opting for darker locks, Ellen had sported the blonde shade for years throughout her career.

Ellen has previously given a rare look at her new life in England to her 136 million followers. 

Last month in April, she snapped a pH๏τo while standing behind Portia as they looked out at the scenic view of the countryside and a double rainbow following a rainfall. 

‘3 things that make me happy: My Wife A Rainbow And my wife taking a pH๏τograph of a Rainbow,’ she wrote. 

Back in 2020, Ellen was embroiled in controversy after being accused of creating a toxic work environment – and later issued an apology. 

After nearly two decades of being on the air, The Ellen Degeneres Show also came to an end just two years later in 2022.

She previously told The Hollywood Reporter, ‘I have to just trust that whatever happened during that time, which was obviously very, very difficult, happened for a reason.

‘I think that I learned a lot, and there were some things that came up that I was shocked and surprised by. It was eye-opening, but I just trust that that had to happen.’

She stepped in front of the camera once again for her 2024 Netflix special тιтled Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval. 

However upon its release, the project garnered mainly mixed to negative reviews and garnered a score of 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. 

A few months earlier in March of this year, Ellen took the big step of listing her Montecito property for $4,995,000. 

Less than two weeks later, the star’s home sold for over the asking price at $5.2 million. 

People reported at the time that the two-bedroom, two-bathroom abode quickly went into escrow after receiving ‘multiple offers within two days of hitting the market.’ 

And back in January, Ellen and Portia had put an additional Montecito property on the market for $29.9 million.

'I think that I learned a lot, and there were some things that came up that I was shocked and surprised by. It was eye-opening, but I just trust that that had to happen,' Ellen said; seen in 2023

The couple – who tied the knot in 2008 – opted to move into an $18 million house in the Cotswolds area in the U.K. late last year. 

The reason the pair chose to relocate to the British countryside rather than Portia’s home country of Australia was soon revealed. 

A source explained to New Idea, ‘Ellen wants to continue with her comedy work, and there is a huge scene in Britain. 

‘Sitting back and chilling on a beach in Australia is for when she’s ready to retire and Ellen’s not there yet.’ 

But after the move, their six-bedroom Cotswolds home was met with severe flooding due to Storm Bert. 

An insider informed MailOnline, ‘Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into. 

‘First there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property.’ 

DeGeneres and Portia have since moved to a different property which is only a 30 minute drive from the original home that they had bought.

A source recently told DailyMail.com: ‘The house is a real Grand Designs number – and it’s plain that Ellen and Portia are loving it.’ 

They added, ‘Everything has been done very discreetly so it’s not clear what the terms of the deal was but it seems that it has recently changed hands for not much less than they paid for their previous place.

‘To buy two properties for eight figure sums in the space of a few months really is unusual, even given the many multi-millionaires around here.’

The source continued, ‘And at even a conservative estimate it must have cost Ellen hundreds of thousands of pounds in fees and costs to change her mind so dramatically – perhaps millions.’
