Ellen DeGeneres sparked concern on Tuesday as she returned to the U.S., stepping out in Montecito with wife Portia de Rossi. Ellen also debuted her signature blonde locks again, swapping the gray roots she had embraced over the past year. In 2015, DeGeneres assisted her only sibling, older brother Vance DeGeneres, 69, when he and his wife Joanna bought a three-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Sherman Oaks for $1,439,000. Records show the couple took out a loan for the full amount from Ellen and Portia, agreeing to repay the mortgage with interest. Documents show Ellen and Portia loaned them $4,905,420.75 — nearly the full purchase price — under similar terms, with the interest rate and loan length undisclosed.
