Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres recently moved to the UK with wife Portia de Rossi amid Donald Trump’s victory against Kamala Harris in the United States. The news came as quite a surprise to fans as the couple had not announced the change before the election. And now, reports suggest that the two have joined in on a porch neighborhood in England.
The couple left their California home after Trump’s 2024 election victory and now live in the area often described as “Britain’s A-list capital.” Their new neighborhood includes an impressive list of high-profile neighbors. David and Victoria Beckham, who often share glimpses of their idyllic rural lifestyle, call the Cotswolds home.
Along with this, veteran actor Patrick Stewart and Hollywood icon Elizabeth Hurley along with supermodel Kate Moss and fashion designer Stella McCartney are also nearby. The celebrity appeal of the area doesn’t stop there. Royalty also live nearby, as King Charles owns Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, an estate known for its excellent gardens. Other notable names such as Jeremy Clarkson and artist Damien Hirst also enjoy the tranquil beauty of the area.
The move comes as a permanent change for DeGeneres and de Rossi, who are reportedly listing their Montecito mansion in California, a property they purchased in 2019 for $27 million. His decision to relocate reflects a growing trend among Hollywood stars to seek a quieter life. From the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles and London.
The Cotswolds, with their rolling hills and iconic stone-built villages, provide the perfect backdrop for this retreat. Popular among celebrities for its privacy and beauty, the area has also served as a filming location for hit films such as Harry Potter and Pride and Prejudice.
With DeGeneres and De Rossi joining such a dazzling lineup of neighbors, the Cotswolds is cementing its reputation as a paradise for the stars.
