The former talk show legend, Ellen DeGeneres, along with her spouse, Portia de Rossi, has embarked on a significant journey to relocate their lives to the United Kingdom. Reliable sources reveal that this move stems from their profound dissatisfaction with the political landscape of the United States post the 2024 electoral outcome, where President-elect Donald Trump emerged victorious against his adversary, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Earlier this year, the couple faced allegations from DeGeneres' former employees, which undoubtedly left a mark. Nonetheless, they reportedly purchased a serene home nestled in the Cotswolds, a picturesque region in Southwest England, just a couple of hours away from London. This strategic acquisition preceded the elections, hinting at premeditated plans.
Confidential sources close to the duo informed The Wrap that they have been "severely disillusioned" by the political environment, with one source bluntly stating their resolution to "make a swift exit." DeGeneres, a generous donor to Vice President Harris and a vocal advocate for her presidential candidacy, had shown immense support for her.
When Harris was chosen as the Democratic nominee in July, DeGeneres took to social media to voice her enthusiastic endorsement. "There's nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come!! I eagerly anticipate @KamalaHarris becoming our next president," penned the former talk show maven.
Furthermore, the couple is now gearing up to put their Montecito, California, residence on the market. This action follows the recent sale of another mansion for a staggering $96 million, with real estate experts predicting a surge of interest in their current abode.
While numerous celebrities have made threats to abandon the United States amidst political turmoil, DeGeneres stands out as one of the few who has kept her word and acted upon it with genuine commitment.
