Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are celebrating the former talk show host’s 68th birthday by dancing in a gorgeous garden.
On Friday, Feb. 6, DeGeneres took to social media to share a new clip of the couple lip syncing to BT Express’ “Do It (Til You’re Satisfied).” In the video, DeGeneres wears a rainbow-colored suit jacket, large sunglasses with pink frames, and a hat in the shape of a birthday cake.
Meanwhile, the Arrested Development alum, 53, wears a white cowboy hat and sunglasses with seashells and a starfish while playing the tambourine, all set against a lush backdrop of pristine landscaping and palm trees.
“6-7 is out. 6-8 is in,” the comedian writes in her caption, referencing the viral phrase.
The post comes shortly after PEOPLE confirmed that Degeneres had purchased a new Southern California property.
“She’s not moving back to the U.S. but will continue to split her time between both the U.K. and Montecito,” an insider previously told PEOPLE.

The pair had relocated to the rural Cotswolds area of south central England in November 2024, and shared dispatches of their life there living on a farm with their animals on social media.
When the couple first relocated abroad, they lived in a home that they purchased in the spring of 2024. The Wall Street Journal reported they only lived there for a month before a series of extensive renovations. DeGeneres and de Rossi later relisted the home for $30 million in July 2024. The stars subsequently moved into another property better suited for de Rossi’s horses.

Locals who used to see the couple around their Cotswolds estate regularly told PEOPLE they haven’t seen DeGeneres “in ages,” and a local pub source says she hasn’t been in for “several months.”
Another source added that DeGeneres was often spotted out in their village over the summer, but hasn’t been seen since. “She always looked friendly but nobody ever approached her and it was just another celeb to them.”
The Cotswolds is home to numerous A-list stars such as the Beckhams, model Kate Moss and actor Hugh Grant.
Back in July 2025, DeGeneres confirmed to the BBC that she and her wife permanently moved to England because Donald Trump was re-elected as president in 2024. She added that de Rossi was “living her dream” as an avid horse lover in the English countryside.
