After the divisive US presidential election, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi sold their Montecito, California, home and moved to England. The couple moved to the Cotswolds, a popular destination for celebrities in the UK, where they were recently seen having fun with friends.
The move was mostly prompted by the 2024 US presidential election, according to a person “close to the former TV host,” who told The Wrap that Ellen and Portia might never return to the US.
The Daily Beast revealed on Wednesday (November 20) that Ellen sold a different house near Santa Barbara for an astounding $96 million just months before the November 5 elections.
According to a different source who spoke to TMZ, the spouses bought their new house in rural England’s Cotswolds area prior to the election, but they were “very disillusioned” with the outcome and made the decision to “get the hell out.”
Ellen DeGeneres moved to England with her spouse, Portia de Rossi.
Numerous others shared their thoughts about the news, as evidenced by the Facebook comment, “Bon Voyage!”
“Praise God they are leaving,” someone wrote.
“Oh wow – this honestly IS a good news year for the US!!!!” wrote another.
“My sympathies to the United Kingdom,” a netizen joked.
“Ellen, you could run, but you can’t hide!” one commenter wrote. Everything will come back to haunt you.
“For all of you who think Ellen is a good person.. educate yourself,” said another commenter.
After the divisive US presidential election, the couple sold their house in Montecito, California.
“I adored her once.” Then I discovered how badly she handled both her guests and all of her staff.
E! Online said on Wednesday that the couple was seen last week at The Farmer’s Dog, a pub owned by British presenter Jeremy Clarkson in Burford, England.
Celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham call the Cotswolds home. It is a popular getaway destination for London’s nobility and affluent.
After they started dating in 2004, Ellen and Portia soon rose to prominence as one of Hollywood’s most well-known pairs.
Soon after same-sex marriage became legal in California, in August 2008, they exchanged vows in a private ceremony at their home in Beverly Hills.
In her recently released Netflix special For Your Approval, the 66-year-old media icon previously discussed her decline in popularity and career ending.
They made their home in the UK’s Cotswolds, a popular destination for celebrities, where they were recently seen having fun with friends.
The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended in 2022 after 19 seasons, and Ellen addressed accusations that she contributed to workplace toxicity in the stand-up comedy special.
Critics pointed out that the Emmy Award winner’s attempts at accountability frequently avoided responsibility and lacked reflection, despite her humorous and self-deprecating remarks about being “canceled.”
Journalist Abigail Covington wrote for The Daily Beast on September 24 that “her attempt to address the controversy lacks the depth and self-reflection the moment demands, with the parallels she draws between her public fall from grace in 2020 and the homophobic blowback she faced after coming out as a lesbian earlier in her career coming across as particularly out of touch.”
“The final product is a special that seems less like a genuine assessment of her career—failures and all—and more like an effort to regain likeability.”
One of Ellen’s jokes in For Your Approval is, “They kicked me out of show business because I was mean.” In show business, one cannot be cruel. They will expel you.
IMDb gave the comedy special a 5.4/10 rating, while Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 33% rating.
In August 2008, Ellen and Portia married in a private ceremony at their Beverly Hills residence, just after same-sex marriage became legal in California.
“Instead of concluding her career as a comedian with something irreverent or groundbreaking, she chose a stale recounting of the last two years’ headlines,” a critic on IMDb said.
“There’s nothing exceptional and no means to stop your innovative career. Ellen’s dry humor has always been a strength of hers, but I don’t think it worked well here.
Yes, we are aware that you have been termed mean, and it is awful if that isn’t the case. It only needed to be told once.
Since this is Ellen’s final special, I wish she had ended on a high note, but she forged her own career and doesn’t technically require comedy like most standups do.
“It appears that she required this admiration more than the amusement.”
One reader wrote, “I was concerned that they would return after pledging to go the last time.”
