Donald Trump’s victory has drawn both good and bad reactions from citizens, including celebrities leaving the country and settling in other countries. Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi have made that list. According to The Wrap, the couple has left the US and settled in rural England.
According to the publication, the couple has put their Montecito residence on the market and have no plans to return back to the US. A person close to the Ellen Show host told the outlet that she has told friends that Trump’s election was the main reason for her move.
According to The Warp, a person close to Ellen revealed that the former TV show host has already moved to the Cotswolds, a rural part of south central England. He also said that his Montecito home, located about 90 minutes from Los Angeles, has been pocket-listed or will soon be listed.
The residence in Montecito was reportedly purchased by Ellen in 2019 and will become the couple’s main residence before moving to the Cotswolds. As of now, it’s unclear what will happen to other properties in Southern California.
As far as her professional front is concerned, she was featured on the Netflix standup show that she created with him, For Your Approval, and talked about how she was spending her time after the controversy. For those unaware, Ellen faced allegations of toxic work culture on her talk show. This led to her being canceled online and she faced severe backlash from netizens for the claims
She said she started gardening, raised chickens, and added, “Let me see what else I can tell you about what’s going on… Oh yes, I’ve been kicked out of show business …Yes, ‘Be Kind’ ‘The girl was not kind.’
Ellen continued, “If I had ended my show by saying, ‘Fuck yourself,’ people would have been pleasantly surprised to find that I was kind.”
The standup special was released in September 2024, and is available to stream on Netflix.
