Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have relocated to rural England. The Cotswolds, a charming area in south-central England, is where the former talk show presenter has made their home. According to a source close to DeGeneres, they decided to leave the United States once Donald Trump was elected.
Montecito Estate Listed for Sale
According to reports, the couple’s house in Montecito, which is north of Los Angeles, is for sale. They had made the property their main home after buying it in 2019. Whether they intend to sell other homes in Southern California is unknown. The real estate firm in charge of the listing, Riskin Partners, has not responded.
Fallout from Workplace Allegations
DeGeneres faced public criticism in 2022 over allegations of a toxic workplace environment on her talk show. She acknowledged these issues in her Netflix comedy special, “Four Your Approval.” In the special, DeGeneres remarked on the shift in public perception, noting, “The ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline.”
A Life Beyond Hollywood
DeGeneres has mostly avoided the entertainment sector since the end of her talk show. Her attention is now more on hobbies, such as gardening and poultry husbandry. According to a source, the relocation to England is a reflection of a yearning for a new beginning.
Trump’s Election: A Motivating Factor
DeGeneres apparently decided to leave the United States in large part because of Donald Trump’s win. The insider said that the couple’s decision was prompted by the political atmosphere during Trump’s presidency.
Transition to Private Life
Since her program ended, DeGeneres has kept a low profile in the public eye. She hasn’t taken on any new show business endeavors, but she did release the Netflix special to document her life after television. Citing the conclusion of her tour and specials, her former publicist declared that she is no longer DeGeneres’ representative.
