Ellen DeGeneres Reconsiders Moving to the UK to Escape Trump’s America

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, moved to the United Kingdom about a year ago. Their decision was influenced by a desire to step away from the Trump presidency and embrace a quieter lifestyle in the Cotswolds.

Ellen spoke warmly about life in England, describing the countryside as peaceful and picturesque. She also praised the kindness of the people and what she felt was better treatment of animals.

The couple settled into rural living, keeping chickens, sheep, and horses on their property. Their estate offered privacy and a slower pace compared to their former life in California.

Despite their appreciation for the UK, reports now suggest they have been spending increasing amounts of time back in the United States. According to sources, the long British winters have been challenging for them.

Friends have said the couple misses the warmth, sunshine, and close friendships they left behind in California. Ellen has reportedly shared plans to return to the US, particularly around the holiday season.

They previously sold a 43-acre estate in Oxfordshire for £22.5 million and relocated to a hilltop mansion better suited for their horses. At the time, Ellen was firm about remaining in the UK due to political concerns in America.

However, their plans appear to be changing. While the move was once intended to be permanent, Ellen and Portia now seem ready to head back to California and reestablish their life there.
