Here’s a summary of what’s going on with Ellen DeGeneres lately (as of mid-2025):

⸻

Key developments
1. Talk show ended, controversies
• The Ellen DeGeneres Show ran for 19 seasons and ended in 2022 amid allegations of a toxic workplace (claims of bullying, racism, intimidation). 
• Ellen has spoken about how upsetting that period was, the damage to her public image, and how it felt to be “kicked out” of showbiz in her own way. 
2. Move to the UK / England
• She and her wife, Portia de Rossi, relocated to the Cotswolds in England in late 2024. 
• The move was prompted, at least in part, because of political concerns in the US — notably Donald Trump’s re-election and anxieties over LGBTQ+ rights, same-sex marriage, etc. 
• She has said they originally thought the UK home would be part-time, but after the election, they decided to stay permanently. 
3. Standup & public appearances
• Ellen has been doing a stand-up tour (“Ellen’s Last Stand…Up”) and released a Netflix comedy special called For Your Approval in late 2024. 
• During her shows, she’s been reflecting on the end of her show, the fallout from the workplace controversies, how it hurt her, how she felt misunderstood, etc. 
4. Future Plans
• Ellen has said she’s not entirely sure whether the traditional talk show format still works given changes in media and how people consume content now. 
• She’s expressed interest in doing “something” again, though nothing concrete as of now.
