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.
