London, England – In a surprising move, comedian Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have recently relocated to the UK, allegedly in response to Donald Trump’s election victory. Sources close to the couple have revealed their plans to sell their mansion in Montecito, California, signaling a fresh start abroad.
It appears that DeGeneres and de Rossi have no intention of returning to the US permanently, according to insiders familiar with their decision. The duo reportedly made the swift choice to leave the country following the election results, feeling disillusioned after Trump’s win over Kamala Harris.
DeGeneres publicly supported Harris, expressing her endorsement on social media. The couple’s relocation to England follows their previous real estate investments, including their Montecito residence purchased in 2019 for $27 million. The move has placed them in the Cotswolds region of South West England, away from the hustle and bustle of London.
Among their new celebrity neighbors are the likes of David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, and Elizabeth Hurley, as well as British royalty residing in the area. News of the couple settling into their new life in the UK surfaced as they were spotted socializing at a local pub owned by Jeremy Clarkson.
The decision to leave the US in the wake of Trump’s victory is not unique, as actress Eva Longoria also recently announced her family’s move to Mexico and Spain. Longoria cited various reasons for her departure, including the changing landscape in California and concerns about Trump’s leadership.
As DeGeneres and de Rossi embrace their new surroundings in the UK, they join a growing number of high-profile individuals seeking a change of scenery in response to recent political developments. Their relocation highlights the impact of global events on personal decisions and the desire for a fresh start in unfamiliar territory.
