Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have been seen for the first time in their new $27.4 million home in Montecito, California that they quietly snapped up in November.
The stars goofed around in costumes while in the backyard of the mansion as they danced to the BT Express song Do It in a video shared to Instagram on Friday morning.
'6-7 is out. 6-8 is in. @yourchilltias,' wrote the former talk show host in her caption as she referred to her favorite influencers Your Chill Tias.
This comes just as it was claimed by UsWeekly that they will not be living in California full time.
Although the 68-year-old TV star and her wife, Portia de Rossi, 53, recently splashed out on the Montecito home, the couple have no plans to leave rural England where they settled in 2024.
A source told Us Weekly: 'They are still planning to live full-time in the UK but will spend a few months of the year in Montecito.' Ellen and Portia - who have been married since 2008 - swapped the US for the Cotswolds in 2024, after contemplating a move for some time

Ellen and Portia - who have been married since 2008 - swapped the US for the Cotswolds in 2024, after contemplating a move for some time.
A source previously told Us Weekly: 'They had visited before and looked at homes but weren't sure when they would do it. When they found the right place, they jumped on it.'
Ellen previously claimed that 'everything' is 'just better' in the UK.
The TV star admitted that she was relishing her new lifestyle since making the move to England.
She told broadcaster Richard Bacon: 'It's absolutely beautiful. We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture - everything you see is charming and it's just a simpler way of life.
'It's clean. Everything here is just better - the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.'

Ellen - who hosted her own TV talk show between 2003 and 2022 - explained that she has been enjoying the rural lifestyle since leaving the US in 2024.
She said: 'We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.'
DeGeneres also confirmed that she and de Rossi moved to the UK because of President Donald Trump's re-election.
She said: 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in'. And we're like, 'We're staying here.'

Realtor.com reported that in November the pair closed the deal to purchase Hollywood movie producer Brian Grazer's old home in the affluent area.
Now public records reveal that the estate is gated with a large winding driveway up to a motor court and extended garage.
The property is on three acres with a long lush lawn, mature trees, a generous terrace, a pickleball court with a cabana house off to the side and a mini forest with over a dozen trees.
There is also a lap pool with a hot tub with plenty of space for outdoor dining room and living room furniture.
The primary residence is an impressive 8,700-square-foot home. And there is a smaller guest house on the lower yard.
Grazer snapped the home up in 2012 for $7.6 million and completed construction on the main residence in 2015, according to Realtor.com.
The sale was handled privately, it was claimed by Realtor.com, and that is why there are no indoor photos of the property on real estate websites.
The off-market deal, which closed in late November according to the site, was completed through a trust long tied to DeGeneres' property holdings, it was also claimed by the site.
People also reported on Tuesday that the home was bought by DeGeneres.
