Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have reportedly left the United States and settled in the United Kingdom after Donald Trump’s recent presidential election victory. The couple, who were longtime residents of Montecito, California, are said to be starting a new chapter in the picturesque English countryside.
Sources close to the couple shared that DeGeneres and de Rossi were deeply disillusioned following the election results, which saw Trump defeating Vice President Kamala Harris. DeGeneres, a vocal supporter of Harris, had endorsed her campaign on social media and contributed financially.
In an Instagram post earlier this year, DeGeneres, 66, declared her excitement for Harris’s candidacy:
“There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president.”
Following Trump’s win, DeGeneres and de Rossi reportedly decided to leave the U.S. permanently. They are said to be selling their $27 million Montecito mansion and relocating to the Cotswolds, an affluent region in South West England known for its scenic charm and celebrity residents.
The couple’s new home is in a region famous for its rolling hills, historic villages, and luxury retreats. The area, located about two hours from London, is home to prominent figures such as David and Victoria Beckham, Elizabeth Hurley, and Jeremy Clarkson.
DeGeneres and de Rossi were recently spotted at Clarkson’s pub, The Farmer’s Dog, where they appeared to be enjoying their new surroundings. Lisa Hogan, Clarkson’s partner, shared a video of the couple on Instagram, showing them sipping drinks and listening to live music.
Their move aligns with their well-documented passion for real estate. Over the years, DeGeneres and de Rossi have been known for their extensive property investments, especially in Southern California. Their Montecito estate, purchased in 2019, is located near other high-profile neighbors like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
DeGeneres is not the only high-profile figure to leave the U.S. in the aftermath of the election. Actress Eva Longoria recently revealed that she and her family have relocated to Mexico and Spain, citing political and social concerns.
In an interview with Marie Claire, Longoria expressed frustration with the political climate, including Trump’s return to the presidency:
“The shocking part is not that he won. It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office. If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place.”
Longoria, who actively campaigned for Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, also shared her reasons for leaving California:
“The vibe was different… it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
These high-profile departures underscore a growing trend among some celebrities who have expressed dissatisfaction with America’s political and social landscape.
According to sources, DeGeneres and de Rossi are unlikely to return to the U.S. on a full-time basis. DeGeneres, whose net worth is estimated at $370 million, is reportedly committed to starting anew in the UK.
The move also marks a symbolic end to a chapter for the television host, who has been a polarizing figure in recent years. DeGeneres faced significant backlash during the final years of her eponymous talk show, which ended in 2022 following accusations of fostering a toxic work environment.
However, the couple appears to be embracing their new life. The Cotswolds offer a serene escape, far removed from the political turbulence that reportedly prompted their departure.
Ellen DeGeneres’s relocation is a significant move, signaling her retreat from the American political and cultural scene. While she has not publicly commented on the decision, her actions suggest a desire to move past the disillusionment she felt following Trump’s victory and focus on a fresh chapter abroad.
With her relocation to the Cotswolds, DeGeneres joins a growing number of American celebrities choosing to leave the U.S. amid political polarization and social challenges. Time will tell whether this move becomes a permanent change or if the couple will eventually return to the country they once called home.

Good riddance. These spoiled brats don’t see what the Dems have done to this country because they have too much money and the inflation, open borders high prices for everything doesn’t hurt them. They do not see middle and lower class everyday people are living paycheck to paycheck, working multiple jobs and still not getting by. Trump will get this country back on track.
hope they take a lot more with them
It’s a good start, hopefully more to come.
To all these super CRAZY LIBS leaving America, 🎵So long, Farewell, Don’t ever come back🎵
I agree and hope they land in country that will not accept them but oh most countries are either communistic, socialistic, or run by a dictator.
Don’t care, all the wacko left wing so-called celebrities can leave. They’re not worth keeping anyway. They won’t be missed.The USA is better off without them.
Agree. Don’t come back!!!
Too bad they didn’t go in 2017. But that’s water under the bridge. They are making a big splash of leaving now, as if anybody cares. But, I will bet they will all be crawling back as things dramatically improve, as they will. And they will do it with as little fanfare as possible, so as not to be caught out.
I guess it doesn’t matter which one is the husband or wife. Its about time they all leave like they said they would.
Fire everyone who attend those secession there government employees and work for the government their personal unstable ability is a disgrace their political agenda has no bearing on their job. Fire all of them just again how the corrupt government democrat waste taxpayers money. Plus these people were paid personally for nor doing their jobs they were hired for. Major government democrat corruption. And Blinking should be the first one Fired
Jolly good move, Lezzies….
“LONDON, Oct 30 (Reuters) – British finance minister Rachel Reeves announced large tax increases on the rich on Wednesday, betting she could fund higher spending on public services without damaging the economy and triggering a mass exodus of millionaires.
For the wealthiest in Britain, the proposals will mean higher taxes on sales of their investments, businesses, estates, foreign income, use of private jets and private education for their children.”
They’ll get there just in time for the tax hike, great news.
Good for US!! We’re finally rid of 2 more insane weirdos! If they think they are hurting us by leaving or that any of us give a crap that they are going, they are sadly mistaken. I wish them well in their newly chosen country, & I hope never to see DeGeneres on tv again — ever.
Aside from the fact that Trump being in the WH would not change their lives one iota, good riddance
to them all, Bless their hearts.
Don’t waste our time or space on your site with this stuff. People move all the time. Who cares if a celebrity moves? By the way, Lassie and Trigger were celebrities. Those people moving are only celebrities in their eyes.
DeGeneres is a good entertainer. Too bad she doesn’t have much between the ears. Our gain is England’s loss. Wait until they get a load of the leadership across the pond. I guess when you have their money, they don’t have to deal with the day-to-day pressures of getting by when you get the likes of Obama, Biden and Harris calling the shots.
If enough of them leave Gov. Newsom will be begging them to come back, he misses your tax money Feder, State and Property. Many say Trump is the reason, but they are also sick of what the state is doing, but won’t admit it. They will not say what average people leaving are saying, crime, immigration, taxes and other things.
Wherever they go, good bye. America is for the free, willing to fight for what’s right. Eventually they will find out there is no other place on earth as great as America. It has everything for everyone. It’s the rotten, bad, degenerate idiots that are trying to destroy the beauty of our country. Don’t threaten, just go.
