Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have reportedly left their California home and moved to England, seeking a fresh start. The couple, who previously resided in Montecito—a neighborhood also home to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—have chosen the Cotswolds as their new base. This scenic area in South West England is known for its stunning landscapes and celebrity residents, including the Beckhams and actor Hugh Grant.
The move comes after a challenging period for DeGeneres. Her iconic talk show faced allegations of a toxic work environment and bullying, which led to a public apology from the host in 2020. Despite her efforts to address the issues, the scandal significantly impacted her career and reputation. Her show ended in 2022, and DeGeneres has since maintained a low profile.
Now 66, DeGeneres appears to be focusing on a quieter, more private life. The decision to relocate to England follows the re-election of Donald Trump, leading some to speculate that political factors may have influenced their choice. While the couple has not publicly confirmed the move, sources suggest they are enjoying their new life in the Cotswolds, away from the pressures of Hollywood. This fresh start could be the perfect opportunity for DeGeneres and de Rossi to rebuild and find peace in their new surroundings.
