Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi just keep swimming through their lives in England.

The Finding Dory star and Arrested Development alum—who made headlines last month when it was reported they had moved to the United Kingdom—were recently seen out and about in their new, very rainy homeland.

In photos from their Dec. 11 outing, Ellen sported a navy winter coat, blue jeans and rainboots as the pair braved the recent downpours affecting the Cotswolds area they now live. She also rocked a navy beanie, covering the dramatic blonde-to-brunette hair transformation she debuted last month.

For her part, Portia walked alongside her wife of 16 years, donning her signature blonde locks, a beige trench coat over a green sweater, brown pants and black boots.

Since their move across the pond, Ellen and Portia—who recently celebrated their 20th anniversary of being together—have been spotted around their new town, and have reportedly become regulars at The Farmer’s Dog, a pub in Burford, U.K. owned by talk show host Jeremy Clarkson, after appearing there last month.

While the former talk show host and her wife reportedly decided to move to England in response to president-elect Donald Trump’s recent election win, according to multiple outlets, the new beginning also arrives after Ellen announced earlier this year that she was quitting Hollywood.

“This is the last time you’re going to see me,” she told a crowd during a July show for her “Ellen’s Last Stand…Up Tour,” per SFGate. “After my Netflix special, I’m done.”

And in her For Your Approval special released in September, she addressed her experience of falling out of public favor after allegations of a toxic work environment at The Ellen DeGeneres Show prompted internal investigations and public ire.

"I got kicked out of show business. Yeah, 'cause I'm mean," she joked in the special. "You can't be mean and be in show business. No, they'll kick you out. No mean people in show business."
