In a move that has reignited the debate over her recent relocation choices, Ellen DeGeneres has admitted she was in no mood for celebration as she marked her 68th birthday on Monday, Jan. 26. The former talk show icon, who recently swapped the British countryside for a return to the California sunshine, shared a sombre update with her millions of followers, revealing that the current state of world events has cast a long shadow over her personal milestones.
Posting a selfie alongside her wife, Portia de Rossi, the comedian struck a reflective tone. 'It's a tough day to feel like celebrating a birthday,' she wrote on Instagram. 'I'm holding space for what's happening in our world and holding close what I'm grateful for. Like my wife. And cookies.'
