Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have made a significant life change by moving to rural England, leaving behind their estate in Montecito, California, and their life in the United States.
Reasons for Relocation
A source close to DeGeneres revealed that the election of Donald Trump significantly influenced their decision to relocate. The couple’s Montecito property, acquired in 2019, is reportedly listed for sale.
Departure from Show Business
The former talk show host, who faced criticism in 2022 regarding allegations of a toxic work environment, has described herself as being “kicked out of show business.” In her Netflix special, Four Your Approval, she humorously reflected on her exit from Hollywood, discussing the difficulties of upholding her “be kind” image.
Embracing a New Lifestyle
Now living in the Cotswolds, DeGeneres is embracing a quieter lifestyle that includes gardening and raising chickens. This departure from the entertainment industry signifies a new chapter for her as she seeks personal fulfillment away from the public eye.
