Ellen DeGeneres Reconsiders Moving to the UK to Escape Trump’s America
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi relocated to the United Kingdom roughly one year ago. Their move was motivated by a desire to depart during the Trump presidency and seek a quieter existence in the Cotswolds.
Ellen expressed great fondness for their new surroundings, describing the area as beautiful and charming. She appreciated the polite locals, scenic views, and the country’s treatment of animals, even keeping chickens, sheep, and horses on their estate.
Recent reports, however, indicate the couple has been increasingly returning to the United States. A source suggests they have found the harsh British winter challenging and deeply miss their social circle in California.
This marks a shift, as Ellen was previously resolute about remaining abroad throughout Trump’s term. She had cited fears over the American political climate and potential threats to social policies like gay marriage.
Ellen has now informed friends of plans to return soon, particularly for the holidays, longing for warmth and familiarity. The couple had sold their expansive Oxfordshire property for £22.5 million, moving to a hilltop mansion with space for their horses.
Her initial departure from the U.S. was influenced not only by politics but also by the conclusion of her long-running talk show amid allegations of a toxic work environment.
While their original intention was a permanent residence in the UK, they are now reconsidering. The couple appears to be preparing for a return to their life in California.
