Ellen DeGeneres caused a stir on social media after her latest public appearance had fans worried about her noticeably slimmer figure.
The 67-year-old comedian was photographed while out in Montecito with wife Portia Rossi after her return from the UK.
The two had moved to the UK a year ago to escape the “dangers” of Donald Trump’s United States.
But reports suggest the dreary British winter and a desire to reconnect with friends and family prompted their return.
DeGeneres kept her look understated by pairing a gray patterned shirt with a dark navy jacket and timeless denim.
She finished the casual ensemble with simple sneakers and a blue cap over her freshly lightened hair, exuding laid-back California energy.
Portia echoed the relaxed vibe by stepping out in a soft cream sweater paired with relaxed blue jeans as she walked alongside DeGeneres.
The latest sighting sparked a wave of speculation and comments online.
DeGeneres, who left her long-running daytime talk show in 2022, has largely kept a low profile in recent years.
Her return to the spotlight reignited interest in her health and lifestyle and fans debated whether her weight loss was intentional or cause for concern.
