Celebrated television host Ellen DeGeneres has ignited a wave of concern amongst her fans after being photographed looking markedly thinner upon her return to the United States. The 67-year-old was seen stepping out in Montecito, California, with her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, this Tuesday, prompting immediate speculation about her health and dramatic weight loss.
A Surprising Return from the English Countryside
The couple's appearance in California comes as a surprise, given their high-profile relocation to the English countryside just a year prior. Reports at the time indicated the move was motivated by a desire to avoid what they termed the 'perils' of Donald Trump’s America. However, according to a recent report by The Mail on Sunday, the pair were ready to exchange the UK's cold and gloomy Christmas weather for the familiar comforts of home, choosing to return stateside to be close to friends and family.
Frail Frame Overshadows Style Comeback
While Ellen DeGeneres also marked her return by debuting her signature blonde locks once more, swapping out the grey roots she had sported over the past year, it was her physical appearance that commanded the most attention. Her frail frame was clearly visible despite her casual, layered outfit. She kept things low-key in a grey-printed shirt under a dark navy blazer, paired with classic denim jeans, comfortable sneakers, and a blue cap.
Portia de Rossi complemented the relaxed Californian vibe, opting for a cosy cream sweater and loose-fitting blue jeans as the couple strolled together. Yet, despite the laid-back attire, all eyes remained fixed on Ellen, whose petite and noticeably thinner figure has left supporters worldwide worried about her wellbeing following the significant international move.
Fan Reaction and Ongoing Speculation
The images have rapidly fuelled online rumours regarding the cause of her apparent weight loss, with many fans expressing their anxiety on social media platforms. The concern highlights the intense public interest in the beloved host's life after her departure from daytime television and her subsequent move abroad. As of now, neither DeGeneres nor her representatives have commented on her health or the reasons behind her changed appearance, leaving the speculation to continue unabated.
