Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi's Rare PDA Outing Confirms Rumors About Their Inner Circle

A rare PDA on a Spain yacht trip with Kris Jenner reinforces rumors about who remains in Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's inner circle. People published photos of the couple displaying affection during the vacation, with Jenner along for the ride on a voyage linked to their long friendship. Jenner officiated their 2023 vow renewal, a detail the article cites to emphasize the depth of their ties within the circle. The piece also recaps the pair's history, noting their meeting in 2001, beginning a relationship in 2004, and their August 2008 marriage. After Trump's victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, DeGeneres and Rossi relocated to the United Kingdom, selling one UK residence while maintaining a Montecito mansion. Earlier this year they reportedly purchased producer Brian Grazer's Montecito estate for $27.4 million in an off-market deal at the end of November. The insiders cited in People say the couple will not move back to the U.S. but will split their time between the United Kingdom and Montecito, California. They have expressed longing for California weather and the local horse scene, a motive underpinning their staggered residence pattern.
