Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have reportedly left the United States and moved to England, marking a significant change in their lives. The couple, who previously lived in Montecito, California—a neighborhood shared with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—have chosen the Cotswolds as their new home. This picturesque region in South West England is known for its charming villages and celebrity residents, including David and Victoria Beckham and Hugh Grant.
The move comes after a difficult few years for DeGeneres. Her long-running talk show faced allegations of a toxic work environment and bullying, which led to a public apology from the host in 2020. Despite her efforts to address the issues, the scandal had a lasting impact on her career and reputation. Her show ended in 2022, and DeGeneres has largely stayed out of the public eye since then.
At 66, DeGeneres seems to be seeking a fresh start. The decision to relocate to England follows the re-election of Donald Trump, which some believe may have influenced her choice to leave the U.S. While the couple has not officially commented on the move, sources suggest they are embracing a quieter, more peaceful life in the Cotswolds. This new chapter could provide the couple with the opportunity to step away from the spotlight and focus on their personal well-being.
