Ellen DeGeneres and her family have announced they’re moving away from the United States.

This isn’t the first big change in DeGeneres’s life, as she recently also announced her retirement from showbiz.

The comedian and former talk show host, known for her 19-season run on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, announced that her Netflix special, filmed on August 16, 2024, will be her last professional project.

The announcement coincided with her 16th wedding anniversary to Portia de Rossi, a moment she described as ‘lucky and special.’

And now, the family is set to depart the US and move abroad.

DeGeneres rose to fame hosting her daytime talk show, blending comedy, celebrity interviews, and heartfelt human-interest stories.

However, the show ended in 2022 following allegations of a toxic workplace environment, including claims of harassment and discrimination.

While DeGeneres herself wasn’t accused of misconduct, the scandal significantly impacted her reputation, and she has largely stayed out of the public eye since.

Recently, DeGeneres returned to the spotlight with Ellen’s Last Stand… Up Tour, which she confirmed would mark her farewell to television and film.

Reflecting on her career’s ups and downs, she said: “This is the last time you’re going to see me. After my Netflix special, I’m done.”
