Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi moving to ENGLAND after Trump win as they become latest stars to flee US

Ellen DeGeneres is making a quick exit from the United States — seemingly for good.

The 66-year-old talk show host, comedian and actress has moved to rural England, according to a new report in The Wrap.

DeGeneres is taking up roots in the UK with her wife Portia de Rossi, 51, and they reportedly have no plans to return to the US.

To underscore the apparent permanence of the move, the couple have put their Montecito mansion on the market.

A person close to the former Ellen DeGeneres Show host claimed that she and de Rossi were primarily skipping town in response to the 2024 presidential election, which saw Donald Trump win a second non-consecutive term.

DailyMail.com reached out to a former representative for DeGeneres for comment, but she no longer represents the comedian after the conclusion of her latest stand-up tour.

The couple are now reportedly living in the Cotswolds, a rural portion of Southwest England that is about 100 miles from London. 

The area is popular with celebrities looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of London, which would make sense for DeGeneres and Rossi, as they had already tried to avoid Los Angeles by moving out to Santa Barbara County’s Montecito, about 75 miles from LA.

Ellen and Portia will have plenty of celebrity neighbors. Among the stars with properties in the Cotswolds are David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Hurley and Damien Hirst, among many others.

Kate Winslet has also had a mansion in the area at one point, though it’s unclear if she still lives there, and Hugh Grant has been rumored for years to have a small hideaway in the Cotswolds.

Despite reportedly leaving the US because of the election and Donald Trump’s looming second administration, DeGeneres had plenty of reasons for a new start away from home.

Her career was tarnished — likely permanently — by accusations that she fostered a toxic workplace on the set of her eponymous daytime talk show, which aired its last episode on May 26, 2022. 

She delved into her persona non grata status on her stand-up special For Your Approval, which was released on Netflix in late September.

The comedian joked that she had been ‘kicked out of show business’ in the special, which featured material about how she has been spending her time since the end of her TV show.

A person close to DeGeneres said she and de Rossi were fleeing the US in response to the 2024 presidential election, in which former President Donald Trump won a second non-consecutive term; seen together in 2022 in Inglewood, Calif.
