The embattled host, who recently announced she’s ending her talk show, has repurchased a ranch in Montecito, Calif., that she sold in 2018. “Portia always loved it there, and since they’ve had a rocky few years — Portia was always pressuring Ellen to retire, but she wouldn’t — Ellen bought it back for her.
