Discover Ellen DeGeneres' Post-Election Journey
Ellen's Move to the UK
Reports suggest that DeGeneres and de Rossi moved to England to escape the post-election atmosphere in the U.S. They had purchased a home in the Cotswolds, about 2 hours from London, prior to the election. Sources close to them revealed that they were "very disillusioned" with Donald Trump's victory and felt the need to get away. This move was a significant decision for the A-list couple.
DeGeneres had been vocal in her support for Vice President Kamala Harris, donating thousands of dollars to her campaign and endorsing her on social media. When President Biden stepped down and Harris was tapped as his replacement, DeGeneres expressed her excitement on Instagram, stating, "There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I can’t wait for @KamalaHarris to be our next president."
Spotted at the UK Pub
On November 13, 66-year-old DeGeneres was seen at UK pub The Farmer’s Dog, accompanied by her wife and a host of other celebrities. The bar shared a video of their visit, in which DeGeneres could be seen waving at the camera. She was joined by "Torn" singer Natalie Imbruglia, actress Lisa Hogan, singer-songwriter James Blunt, the Irish band The Corrs, and English TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson. It was a great night in the pub, with an acoustic set, a few drinks, and great friends.
This sighting added to the buzz around DeGeneres' move and her new look. It showed a different side of her, away from the limelight of her talk show and other entertainment ventures.
Plans for Their California Home
The couple reportedly plan to list their house in Montecito, California. They had previously sold another mansion in the area for $96 million. This move further emphasizes their decision to leave the U.S. and start a new chapter in England.
DeGeneres and de Rossi are not the only celebrities to express their intentions of moving abroad after Trump's win. Stars like Barbra Streisand, Cher, Sharon Stone, and Whoopi Goldberg also discussed the possibility, but DeGeneres was one of the first to publicly follow through on her declaration.
