Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi‘s recent decision to move abroad has caught attention, with reports suggesting that political factors may have played a role.

So, what led to their move, and what does it mean for their future? Let’s take a closer look at the circumstances surrounding their relocation and what it could signify.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are moving to UK
Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia De Rossi, have reportedly left the United States and moved to the UK, specifically to the Cotswolds, a rural region in south-central England.
According to multiple reports, the couple’s relocation comes in response to Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. According to TMZ, sources close to the couple stated that they bought the place before the election. However, they were “very disillusioned” after Trump’s victory, prompting them to decide to leave the US permanently.
A source told TheWrap that the election results served as the primary motivation for their move. DeGeneres has been a vocal supporter of Kamala Harris, publicly praising her candidacy and encouraging voter participation leading up to the election. In a recent social media post, DeGeneres stated, “Let’s vote like our lives depend on it. Because they do!” signaling her active stance on political issues.
DeGeneres, 66, and De Rossi, 51, have reportedly settled into the Cotswolds and recently visited a local pub owned by British television personality Jeremy Clarkson (via Sky News). Their Montecito mansion, purchased in 2019 for $27 million, is now listed for sale.
DeGeneres, known for her long-running talk show, faced career challenges in 2020 due to allegations of a toxic workplace environment. She addressed these claims before her show ended in 2022. The decision to end the show, however, was her own.
