The two aren’t expected to return to the USA any time soon. And a return on a permanent basis is completely out of question
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are reportedly making a big life change. The couple, married since 2008, is said to be moving to the United Kingdom.
Reports from The Wrap reveal that their Montecito, California mansion is now up for sale, fueling speculation that they’re seeking a fresh start. While their reasons for the move remain private, the timing has raised eyebrows, with many wondering if it’s tied to the current political landscape in the United States.
According to a report shared by TMZ, the couple felt “deeply disillusioned” following Donald Trump’s recent election victory over Kamala Harris. The news allegedly drove them to leave the country in haste, seeking a fresh start abroad.
Ellen, a vocal supporter of Harris, reportedly contributed $3,300 to the vice president’s campaign. In an August Instagram post, she expressed her enthusiasm, writing, “There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.”
The move appears to reflect not only their personal disappointment but also their desire to step away from the current political climate in the U.S.
What’s next for DeGeneres and de Rossi
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have an impressive property portfolio, including their Montecito mansion, which they purchased in 2019 for $27 million. However, the couple has reportedly relocated to the Cotswolds, a picturesque region in South West England roughly two hours from London.
The Cotswolds is home to several high-profile celebrities, such as David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Elizabeth Hurley, and Jeremy Clarkson. Adding to the area’s exclusivity, King Charles and Queen Camilla reside nearby at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire. This move marks a significant shift for Ellen and Portia as they settle into their new life across the pond.
