According to TMZ reports, the couple was deeply "disillusioned" with Trump's reelection. They decided that it was time to "get the hell out" and seek a different environment. This decision shows their dissatisfaction with the current political climate in the United States.
The Cotswolds, located about two hours south of London, offer a peaceful and idyllic lifestyle. It is a place where celebrities often seek refuge. As the Daily Mail pointed out, Ellen and Portia will not be lacking for a posh social scene. Victoria Beckham has a farmhouse there, and Kate Moss, Elizabeth Hurley, and Sir Patrick Stewart also have homes in this charming countryside.
Ellen and Portia's move is not an isolated incident. Eva Longoria, another prominent Hollywood liberal, has also revealed that she no longer lives in the U.S. due to political reasons and high taxes in California. This trend of former network TV stars leaving the country is becoming more noticeable.
It remains to be seen how this exodus will affect the entertainment industry and the broader cultural landscape. Will it set a new precedent for other celebrities? Only time will tell.
Ellen and Portia are reportedly so committed to their move that they are planning to sell their Montecito mansion. This indicates their determination to start a new chapter in their lives in rural England. They will have to adapt to a different way of life and face new challenges.
However, with their celebrity status and connections, they are likely to find a place in the local community. Their presence may also bring some attention and excitement to the Cotswolds.
