Richard Gere & Alejandra Silva Pack on the PDA During Rare Outing

The Ellen DeGeneres Show host's eponymous talk show ended in 2022 after a 19-season run amid allegations of a toxic work environment that prompted an internal investigation, multiple firings of executives and public ire.

Ellen returned to the spotlight for her final standup special For Your Approval, which released on Netflix in September 2024. During the lead-up to that special, she revealed she would be leaving Hollywood altogether.

"This is the last time you’re going to see me," she told a crowd during her Ellen’s Last Stand…Up tour, per SFGate. “After my Netflix special, I’m done."

Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi have since moved to England, where they relocated in November 2024 after Donald Trump's reelection, the talk show host confirmed to broadcaster Richard Bacon in July 2025.
