Ellen DeGeneres Reportedly Moves to the UK Following Trump’s Re-Election

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have reportedly decided to leave the United States following Donald Trump’s re-election as President. A source close to the couple indicated that they have settled in the Cotswolds, England, a decision allegedly prompted by Trump’s political victory. This decision comes while DeGeneres and de Rossi have already sold their home in Montecito, California, as confirmed by Fox News Digital in August.

According to reports, DeGeneres expressed her opinion regarding the political climate by supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and seemingly critiquing Vice President-elect J.D. Vance. On social media, she endorsed Harris by echoing singer Taylor Swift’s sentiments, writing «couldn’t agree more.» The entertainment journalist Caroline Thayer reports that representatives for DeGeneres and de Rossi have not commented on the couple’s recent relocation or their plans.

DeGeneres’ move has taken place against the backdrop of her stepping back from Hollywood after «The Ellen DeGeneres Show» concluded in 2022. The show ended amid allegations of a toxic workplace environment, which resulted in an internal investigation by Warner Bros. DeGeneres publicly apologized, stating that she was disappointed by the discrepancies between her expectations and the environment reportedly fostered during the show’s production.

Her departure to the UK follows statements by other celebrities such as Cher and Barbra Streisand, who have previously stated intentions to leave the country under a Trump-led administration. DeGeneres’ decision, unlike others, appears to have materialized as she was recently seen enjoying a low-profile event at a pub in England owned by former «Top Gear» host Jeremy Clarkson. The event featured «The Corrs,» an Irish band, and reportedly included other notable guests such as Natalie Imbruglia and James Blunt.

Colleagues and observers in Hollywood have been following DeGeneres’ next moves closely, especially in light of past controversies. The stand-up comedian previously addressed the allegations during her Netflix special, where she described the impact on her life and career. Meanwhile, actress Eva Longoria and other public figures continue to voice their concerns over the future political landscape in the United States, highlighting the diverse responses from celebrities to Trump’s presidency.
