Just a few months after relocating to rural England and vowing never to return following Donald Trump's election win, Ellen DeGeneres is back in the good ol' USA. The 66-year-old talk show host apparently couldn't stay away from her roots, specifically, Montecito, California, after she and wife Portia de Rossi reportedly decided to start a new life across the pond in November, new exclusive DailyMail.com photos show.

DeGeneres was snapped at her old stomping grounds last Friday while visiting Casa Dorinda, an elite retirement community known as the luxury care home where Julia Child spent her final days among other famous folks. Dressed casually in a gray crew neck sweater, blue jeans, and sneakers, DeGeneres was seen pulling into a visitor's parking spot before entering a resident building.

Although it is unknown who the Hollywood star was visiting at the home, it is possible her wife's mother, Margaret Rogers may have moved to the lux retirement community after she sold her Westlake Village townhome in 2020. De Rossi, 51, however, was not seen with her wife during the outing.
