Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are said to have made the brave choice to leave the United States and start over in England after Donald Trump was re-elected in 2024. This is not just a change of setting; they chose to do this on purpose to get away from the way things are going in American politics right now.
For a while, the couple had been thinking about moving to the UK. After Trump’s win, they finally made up their minds. People who know the couple well say they were “very disappointed” with the election results and chose to “leave the country” instead. Their new home in the beautiful Cotswolds, a rural area in south-central England, is a peaceful get-away from the chaos of American politics.
DeGeneres, 66, and de Rossi, 51, are giving up their fancy home in Montecito, California, for a more relaxed life in the English countryside. Famous people like Kate Moss, Hugh Grant, David and Victoria Beckham love to visit the Cotswolds, which is known for its gentle beauty, rolling hills, and cute towns.
DeGeneres, who used to be a popular TV host in the US, is making a big change with this move. But her image took a hit when she was accused of being toxic at work on her show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Even though she said she was sorry and took responsibility for the harmful culture, the incident did a lot of damage to her image. DeGeneres said she would step away from the spotlight when her show finished in 2022, and she has been living a more relaxed life ever since.
Different people have different thoughts on the couple’s choice to make their move permanent. Some of their fans have praised their brave decision, while others have said they are leaving their country. On social media, people have different thoughts. Some praise DeGeneres for being firm, while others wonder why they did what they did.
It’s not clear what the future holds for DeGeneres and de Rossi as they get used to their new life in the UK. Will they help people in need in their community or will they just enjoy the peace and quiet of living in the country? They’re ready to start a new part of their lives, away from the attention of American politics, that much is clear.
