The design-savvy stars transform a Beverly Hills estate into a home that is perfect—if perhaps not permanent. Popular Host of her own talk show, The Ellen Degeneres Show, recipient of 36 daytime Emmy awards, began its ninth season this fall. “The first thing I did when I made money was buy a house. And then Another one, De Rossi says. “And another one and another one and another one...
DeGeneres has lost track of exactly how many homes she has owned but says the Beverly Hills compound is the seventh she and De Rossi have shared. That would be one for every year they’ve been together. And they don’t appear to be losing momentum: The couple has been toying with the idea of putting the house on the market.
“We loved it so much we bought it furnished,” DeGeneres says. Which is not to suggest she didn’t have big plans for it. “Changing my environment is in my blood. Like, the living room has probably been through five or six incarnations since.” “Five or six?” De Rossi asks. “More like 15 or 16. Seriously.”
“We spend most nights and most weekends here at home, unless we’re at the farm,” De Rossi says. Given their attachment to the property, one might reasonably wonder why they would, once again, move on. Offers DeGeneres, “There comes a time when I get antsy and need to do something else.”
“We maybe want something a little smaller,” says De Rossi. “And we’ve never had a Spanish together.” “Yeah, we did. The George Washington Smith in Montecito.” “Forgot about that.”
Whatever they decide in the immediate future, history suggests their current home won’t be their last. “If we’re just lying in bed,” DeGeneres jokes, “I’ll say, ‘What are you thinking about?’ and she’ll say, ‘Horses. What are you thinking about?’ and I’ll say, ‘Houses.’” “For the record,” De Rossi chimes in, “mine is the cheaper hobby.”
