Now, following Ellen’s workplace crisis and the couple’s retreat to the English countryside, the former talk show giant disclosed that their beloved rescue dog Augie had passed unexpectedly while fleeing Hollywood together.
The news surfaced on a moving Instagram picture on May 16.
“We had to bid Augie farewell yesterday,” Ellen said. He was quite appreciative when we saved him twelve years ago. He loved us so very deeply. We shall be missing him. Another like him never will exist.
For almost ten years, Ellen and her wife Portia de Rossi had owned Augie, a Beagle-Chihuahua mix.
Married since 2008, the couple also owns two tuxedo cats, George and Chairman in addition to Kid, a Poodle-Maltese mix, and Mrs. Wallis Browning, a purebred Poodle.
Fromrolling Hills to Red Carpets
Ellen and Portia have chosen a peaceful life in the UK since selling their $32 million Montecito estate in 2024.
