Donald Trump’s re-election as president appears to have prompted Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, to leave the United States in favour of a quieter life in England.

The celebrity couple, long known for their progressive values and outspoken political stances, recently relocated to a serene countryside home in the Cotswolds, according to TMZ.

For years, Ellen and Portia have been fixtures in California, with sprawling estates that embodied their luxurious yet laid-back lifestyle.

However, sources close to the pair revealed that the polarizing outcome of the 2024 presidential election left them disillusioned. Despite purchasing their Cotswolds property prior to the election, it was Donald Trump’s win that catalyzed their decision to make the move permanent.

The couple’s frustration with Trump’s presidency isn’t new. Ellen, a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ representation in entertainment, has frequently used her platform to advocate for inclusivity and equality—principles she felt were at odds with Trump’s policies.

During the election, she threw her full support behind Trump’s rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, whom she described as “a leader whose time has come.”

Beyond endorsing Harris on social media, Ellen donated to her campaign and championed her vision for the future of the United States.

Now, the Cotswolds, known for its rolling hills, honey-coloured stone cottages, and slower pace of life, provide a stark contrast to the buzz of Hollywood.

The region has become a haven for celebrities seeking tranquillity, with neighbours like David and Victoria Beckham, Elizabeth Hurley, and Kate Moss.

For Ellen and Portia, the move signifies more than a change of scenery—it’s a deliberate step toward reprioritizing peace and privacy.

Their Montecito estate, a sprawling property that once hosted star-studded gatherings, is now on the market.

This follows their earlier sale of another mansion for $96 million, further solidifying their pivot away from life in the U.S.

The relocation also speaks to a larger trend among high-profile figures reevaluating their ties to America amid political turmoil.
