Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have made a significant life change, leaving the U.S. behind and settling in the serene English countryside. According to TMZ, the 2016 presidential election and Donald Trump’s victory played a pivotal role in their decision to relocate.
The couple purchased a property in the Cotswolds, a picturesque region in South West England known for its rolling hills, charming villages, and peaceful atmosphere. The area is about two hours from London, providing a tranquil escape from their high-profile life in the United States.
Sources reveal that Ellen and Portia acquired the property before the election results but decided to make the move official after Trump’s win. “They were very disillusioned with the outcome,” one insider shared. “They immediately decided to get the hell out.”
The couple’s decision underscores the emotional and political toll the 2016 election took on many Americans. For Ellen and Portia, settling in the English countryside provided not just a geographical change but a fresh start away from the political climate that left them disheartened.
The Cotswolds has long been a favorite retreat for celebrities seeking privacy and a slower pace of life. The region offers historic architecture, scenic landscapes, and a sense of seclusion that’s hard to find in the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.
For now, Ellen and Portia seem to be embracing this new chapter, leaving behind the political and cultural tensions that contributed to their decision. Whether they’ll make England their permanent home or split time between countries remains to be seen, but one thing is clear, they’re relishing the change of scenery.
