Ellen Moves to the UK After Trump’s Win
Ellen DeGeneres has reportedly relocated to the UK following Donald Trump’s return to the presidency. Trump’s win makes him only the second U.S. president in history to serve two non-consecutive terms.
Celebrities React to Trump’s Victory
Many celebrities have hinted at leaving the U.S. after the election, but Ellen appears to have taken action. Reports suggest the former talk show host and her wife, Portia de Rossi, sold their Montecito, California home. Notably, Montecito is also where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live.
A New Life in the Cotswolds
Ellen and Portia have reportedly moved to the Cotswolds, a picturesque district in Southwest England. The area is home to other notable figures, including David and Victoria Beckham, Hugh Grant, and Kate Moss.
Challenges and a Fresh Start
In recent years, Ellen faced backlash over allegations of workplace bullying on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. While she accepted responsibility for the toxic environment, the controversy damaged her reputation. After wrapping up her career with a final standup special titled For Your Approval, Ellen announced her retirement in 2024.
Trump’s Win Spurs Relocation
According to sources, Ellen’s decision to move stemmed from Trump’s victory. TMZ reported that the couple had already purchased their UK home before the election but chose to “get the hell out” of the U.S. after the results.
Whether driven by personal challenges or political dissatisfaction, Ellen and Portia appear ready to start fresh in their new English home.
