Comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, appear to have changed their minds about selling their expansive U.K. farmhouse—less than a year after listing the historic property for $30 million.

DeGeneres, 68, and de Rossi, 53, initially purchased the rural abode, which is located in the Cotswolds, in the summer of 2024 and had initially intended to use it as a vacation home. However, after President Donald Trump claimed victory in the election that year, the couple chose to relocate to the U.K. full time.

But having made the decision to live overseas permanently, the TV host and her actress spouse determined that their original home base in the U.K. was no longer suitable—so they snapped up another, much more modern property just a few miles down the road and put their first dwelling back on the market.

Then, in January of this year, that listing was removed and it has now been revealed that the couple are actually planning to make further updates to the property in order to better accommodate de Rossi’s horses, suggesting that they may end up using it as a more permanent primary residence.

According to the Daily Mail, DeGeneres and de Rossi have submitted planning applications for an all-weather equestrian facility, which would allow the latter to continue riding throughout the wettest months of the year. Given that the property has been prone to flooding when the nearby River Windrush bursts its banks, the planning application notes that it is impossible for the horses to be exercised outside year-round.

Two applications—one for a riding arena and another for new stables—are currently being considered by the West Oxfordshire District Council, the outlet reports.

Those planning documents also reveal the couple’s intent to use the dwelling as their “long term home,” if, that is, they can secure permission to move ahead with the build.

“The applicant’s horses are on site in temporary accommodation formed in the garaging in an existing barn pending the determination of [the stables application],” the documents read. “In order to provide a suitable flat all-weather arena for exercising the horses this application has been made.

“The surrounding land does have some flat areas where the horses can be exercised in summer months—but it is also adjacent to the River Windrush, so for the winter and other wet times the opportunities for exercise are more limited.”

The statement also called attention to the significant amount of money the couple has already poured into the property, which they renovated extensively before moving in—and then out—in 2025.

DeGeneres and de Rossi, who purchased the property for around $20 million, are understood to have spent millions on the overhaul, which they previously revealed had required a team of 70 workers to complete.

“The applicants carried out a successful renovation of the house last year and wish to make this their long term home,” the application noted.

However, they are facing one significant hurdle in their quest to transform the 43-acre property, which is understood to be located on a site that historians believe is home to Roman remains. Fears have already been raised that any work carried out on the land could risk destroying those remains.

An archeological team from the West Oxfordshire District Council has already determined that, if planning permission is granted, DeGeneres and de Rossi must be held responsible for “ensuring the implementation of an archaeological monitoring and recording action (watching brief) to be maintained during the period of construction.”

It’s unclear whether DeGeneres and de Rossi will move to list their other U.K. dwelling should they be given planning permission. The duo is already juggling both of their British residences with another home in the U.S., which they purchased for $27.4 million in November 2025.

The property, which is located in Montecito, was previously owned by Hollywood producer Brian Grazer and was purchased by the couple in an off-market deal.

Since then, DeGeneres and de Rossi have been splitting their time between the U.S. and the U.K., with the former’s Instagram account revealing that they are making regular trips back and forth across the Atlantic.

During their most recent stint in the U.K., the duo enjoyed a fun-filled date night in London, where they attended the British premiere of Billie Eilish‘s new documentary move, “Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour.”

DeGeneres and de Rossi took the time to pose for a selfie with Eilish, before gushing about her new project—which she co-directed with James Cameron.

“Portia and I just left the premiere for @billieeilish’s new 3D movie that she directed with @jamescameronofficial. The behind-the-scenes footage is amazing. If you weren’t able to see Billie in concert, this is the next best thing and then some,” DeGeneres captioned the post.

The former TV host and her wife snapped the photo at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London, and Eilish stood in the middle.

Before returning to the U.K., the couple spent several weeks at their Montecito dwelling, where they celebrated Valentine’s Day and DeGeneres’ 68th birthday, according to their Instagram accounts.

However, by April, they had hopped back across the pond, where DeGeneres shared a video of herself tending to her enormous property on a large ride-on mower.

“It’s mowing time again,” she captioned the clip, in which she can be seen wearing large ear muffs and a striped sweater, while dark clouds filled the sky behind her.

It’s unclear exactly how much time the couple plans to spend in the U.S., having previously revealed that they were committing fully to a life in England, with DeGeneres explaining that they didn’t feel comfortable remaining in America with Trump as president.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,'” she explained at an event in July. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.'”

She then proceeded to gush about their new life in the U.K.

“We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here,” she said. “Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.

“Everything here is just better—the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”

Actress Cameron Diazhas welcomed her third child with husband Benji Madden, nearly two years after she reemerged on the Hollywood scene following an 11-year hiatus from acting—a period that she described as the “best years” of her life.

Diaz, 53, and Madden, 47, who wed in 2015, announced the arrival of their baby boy in an Instagram post shared by the Good Charlotte rocker, who revealed that they have named their son Nautas, a name that means “one who embarks on a journey and fears not the unknown.”

Sharing a “character” card for his son which featured an image of a pirate ship with a large “N” emblazoned on its sail, along with details about his name, Madden wrote in his caption: “Cameron and I are Happy, Excited, and feeling so BLESSED to announce the birth of our third Child, Nautas Madden. Welcome to the world Son!!

“We love life with our family—our kids are healthy and happy, and we are grateful!!! Having a blast. Sending all our best wishes, the Madden Family.”

It is not known exactly when Nautas was born and the proud dad did not share any images of the baby boy in his post, having been fiercely protective of their children’s privacy since the birth of their first child, daughter Raddix Wildflower Madden, who is now 6.

They welcomed son Cardinal Madden, now 2, in March 2024, two years after purchasing a palatial new family home in Montecito, which they bought for $12.7 million in 2022.

That property is thought to serve as the couple’s primary residence, where Diaz soaked up much of her free time during her extended break from acting, which she announced in 2018 and, she later revealed, gave her an opportunity to focus on the things that really matter most—specifically building her family.

“For me, it was just something I had to do,” she explained at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in 2024. “It felt like something I had to do to reclaim my own life. And I just really didn’t care about anything else.

“Nobody’s opinion, nobody’s success, no one’s offer, no one’s anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have.

“It really comes to: What are you passionate about? For me, it was to build my family.”

The Montecito home also offered the couple something that their former residence in Beverly Hills had not: complete and utter privacy.

For years, the Santa Barbara enclave has provided an idyllic retreat for Hollywood’s biggest stars seeking to enjoy the same kind of luxury that is offered in Los Angeles, but without the constant threat of paparazzi and prying eyes that so often accompanies a life in the heart of Hollywood.

Diaz and Madden’s home offers more than enough space for their growing family, spanning more than 10,800 square feet, including six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms—while also boasting around two acres of land for the couple and their kids to enjoy.

Before being snapped up by the duo, a previous listing described the property as offering “impressive interior scale” as well as “ocean, island, and mountain views.” It had also undergone a dramatic renovation before Diaz and Madden purchased it, ensuring that every inch was decked out in luxury.

However, while the actress spent the first few years after buying the home quietly soaking up life as an at-home mother and business owner, having launched her own clean wine brand, Avaline, in 2020, she made the decision to halt her retirement in 2024, when she returned to her first movie set in more than a decade to film a new project with Jamie Foxx.

The Netflix movie titled “Back in Action” marked the first movie Diaz had starred in since 2014, when she appeared in the remake of the musical hit “Annie,” and she later admitted that she hadn’t been certain any offer would manage to lure her out of her acting hiatus.

“I didn’t think I was going to make another movie,” she said in a Netflix promo video.

“I was perfectly happy, you know, just living my life doing other things. You know, like day in and day out, not movies. And then I get a phone call from Jamie Foxx. And how do you say no to Jamie Foxx when he says, ‘Hey, I’ve got this big action comedy that we can just have so much fun on.'”

“If there’s anyone I’m going to go back and spend months on end, on set, having a ball, laughing with, it would be Jamie,” she added.

It appears that project helped Diaz to rediscover her love of acting—with IMDB noting that the actress now has five other projects in the works, including an upcoming “Shrek” sequel, in which she will reprise her role of Fiona, as well as an untitled “Troop Beverly Hills” sequel.

Luckily, Diaz has not cut her real estate ties in Hollywood altogether; she and Madden still own a sprawling Beverly Hills farmhouse, which they purchased for $14.7 million in 2020.

While the couple did make multiple attempts to offload the property, listing it for $17.8 million in July 2024, they struggled to find a buyer and, after slashing their ask to $16.5 million in May 2025, they ultimately chose to take the dwelling off the market.

It’s unclear how much the A-listers are actually using the seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom home, however it would serve as the perfect Los Angeles area home base should they ever need to be a little closer to Hollywood, either for work or a red carpet event.

Much like their dwelling in Montecito, the property offers ample space for their growing family, boasting more than 9,200 square feet of living space.

When the mansion went on the market for the first time, the listing described it as a “sophisticated custom architectural farmhouse estate” that featured a “lush” parcel of land.

Soccer star David Beckham has publicly called out his wife, Victoria Beckham, for constantly snapping photos of the couple in their home every time they get dressed up to head out for a night on the town.

David, 50, took to Instagram to share a mirror selfie of himself and the 52-year-old former Spice Girls star dressed up in their finery as they prepared to attend the 2026 TIME100 Gala, which was held in New York City on April 23.

In the photo, Victoria could be seen sporting an elegant white silk gown, while her husband opted for a classic black tuxedo. However, David also wore something else: an eyebrow-raising expression that appeared to be his way of expressing his frustration with the photo-taking ritual.

He further elaborated on that feeling in the caption of his post, where he took the opportunity to tease his wife of 27 years, writing: My night every night we go out, quote of the night ‘you look great I’m gonna post this.'”

Luckily David found his smile before they made it to the big event, with images taken by the professional photographers showing the couple putting on their best photo faces on as they mingled with their fellow celebrity guests.

Despite David’s teasing, Victoria took time once at the gala to pay tribute to how much support he has provided her—particularly amid the ongoing reports about the couple’s feud with their eldest son, Brooklyn Beckham, and his wife, Nicola Peltz.

Brooklyn, 27, took to Instagram to publicly criticize his parents in a blistering series of posts shared in January, in which he accused them of trying to sabotage his relationship with Nicola.

“I have been silent for years and have made every attempt to keep these matters private. Unfortunately, my parents and their team have continued to go to the press, leaving me with no choice but to speak for myself and tell the truth about only some of the lies that have been printed. I do not want to reconcile with my family. I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life,” Brooklyn said in a post on Instagram Stories.

Throughout the next six posts, Brooklyn claimed that his parents have “controlled narratives in the press” about their family, alleging that his mom and dad have been “trying endlessly to ruin my relationship before my wedding and it hasn’t stopped.”

While Victoria did not address those posts specifically, she spoke to TIME editorial director Lucy Feldman about how she manages to avoid public speculation about her relationship and her family, crediting David with helping her to shut out “the noise.”

“This has been happening since I was 20, so it’s been going on a long time. I have an incredible husband who supports me enormously. We’re always there for each other. And I learned a long time ago to really not listen to the noise. Someone’s always going to have something to say. I focus and I just don’t pay attention to it,” she said.

The day before she opened up about her family life while on “Today with Jenna & Sheinelle,” revealing, “We always put our children first. We love our children so much and have always really focused on protecting our children, but we laugh a lot. David Beckham is really, super funny.”

While the couple jetted in to New York for the prestigious gala, they do not consider the Big Apple as their official home base in the U.S. That privilege goes to the city of Miami, where David is the co-owner and president of the local soccer team, Inter Miami FC.

David purchased the soccer team in 2021, alongside siblings Jorge and Jose Mas, nearly 15 years after he made his MLS debut with L.A. Galaxy.

Since then, David—who boasts a celebrity profile that some believe outshines his status as one of the world’s greatest soccer players—has worked hard to draw in the best and brightest athletes to his team, achieving a true coup in 2023 when he convinced Argentine legend Lionel Messi to sign on with Inter Miami.

Since relocating to the city part time, David and Victoria are reported to have purchased multiple properties—most recently snapping up an extraordinary $80 million mansion, which they bought in 2024.

The imposing nine-bedroom, 9.5-bathroom, waterfront property is just a 40-minute drive from the stadium where Inter Miami currently plays.

Described in its listing as being one of “Miami Beach’s most significant estates,” the expansive property boasts 14,270 square feet of living space and 124 feet of private waterfront space, including a dock.

Inside the home, there are amenities aplenty, from a gym and spa to a chef’s kitchen and a home movie theater. Plus, the “sophisticated, layered, and rich” interior and exterior designs were masterminded by architect Choeff Levy Fischman in collaboration with Antrobus Design Collective and luxury homebuilder Bart Reines.

Less than two years later, the couple sold their first Miami abode, a beautiful Zaha Hadid-designed penthouse, which they purchased in 2020 for a whopping $20 million.

The home is inside a building known as One Thousand Museum, which is understood to have cost an eye-watering $280 million to build and which has been described as “one of the most complex skyscrapers to ever make it off the drawing board.”

The lavish, full-floor condo was procured through Beckham Brand Limited, the partnership and licensing company owned by the soccer star.

However, in February of this year, they offloaded the dwelling, earning a hefty profit in the process after snagging an offer of $24.6 million.

In addition to their real estate holdings in Miami, David and Victoria also own several properties in the U.K., although they sold their most famous home—a countryside estate known to their fans as “Beckhingham Palace”—back in 2014.

They purchased a Grade II-listed Victorian home in London’s Holland Park in 2013, paying around $37.9 million for the property before pouring an estimated $10 million into renovations.

The couple still own that home today, and it featured prominently in their wildly popular Netflix documentary, “Beckham.”

In addition to their London townhouse, the couple also owns a country farmhouse in the Cotswolds, which they snapped up in 2016 for around $8 million.
