Reason for Ellen DeGeneres’ shocking move exposed.
Ellen DeGeneres has just confirmed what fans long suspected: she left the United States because of Donald Trump.
Ellen’s controversies highlighted.
From talk show scandals to Hollywood exile, Ellen’s recent years have been riddled with change and controversy.
Back in 2020, former employees accused The Ellen DeGeneres Show of fostering a toxic workplace environment.
Ellen apologized on-air, saying the revelations were “shocking” and “eye-opening,” admitting she had learning to do.
The show was pulled off air in 2022, just two years after the bombshell accusations surfaced.
She told The Hollywood Reporter the scandal, though painful, was something she had to go through for personal growth.
Ellen returned in 2024 with her Netflix stand-up For Your Approval, but critics weren’t exactly applauding.
Despite high anticipation, audiences and critics alike weren’t impressed, labeling the show “out of touch.”
The backlash stuck, and Ellen appeared to retreat from the spotlight—until now.
Ellen’s move to UK explained.
The former daytime talk queen revealed she’s officially made the Cotswolds her home—with no plans to return across the pond.
The 67-year-old star now lives in the English countryside with wife Portia de Rossi, 52, and they’re not looking back.
“We got here the day before the election,” she revealed in a surprise chat at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham.
She said, “We woke up to texts with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in.’”
With Trump back in power, Ellen says she and Portia made a split-second but final decision to stay in England.
“It’s absolutely beautiful,” Ellen said. “The villages, the towns, the architecture—it’s all so charming.”
“It’s just a simpler way of life,” she added. “Everything here is just better—the way animals are treated, how polite people are.”
Portia flew over her horses. Ellen has chickens. And sheep—though they only lasted “about two weeks.”
Despite moving in November, Ellen says seeing snow “was magical” and made her fall even more in love with the UK.
Ellen’s future plans detailed.
She says anti-gay marriage sentiment in the US is rising, making her and Portia consider a second wedding—this time in the UK.
Ellen didn’t mince words: “They’re trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it.”
If US laws change, the couple plans to legally tie the knot in Britain to protect their union.
She lamented, “I wish we lived in a society where everybody could accept people and their differences.”
“So until we’re there,” she said, “I think there’s a hard place to say we’ve made huge progress.”
Ellen snapped Portia looking at a rainbow, captioning it: “3 things that make me happy: My Wife, A Rainbow, And my wife taking a photograph of a Rainbow.”
The pair wed in California before Prop 8 tried to slam the door shut on same-sex marriage.
Despite media storms and political pressure, the couple has remained rock-solid through it all.
She described life in the Cotswolds as “peaceful,” and says they’re finally living authentically and quietly.
She cited better animal rights, cleaner cities, and overall kindness as reasons they feel safe and happy abroad.
In conversation with British broadcaster Richard Bacon, Ellen spilled all the new details—uncensored.
When asked if she missed home, Ellen flatly said, “Not really. We’ve found our place.”
Ellen to stay in the UK.
Ellen made it crystal clear: the UK isn’t just a hideaway. It’s now home.
Between farm animals, country rainbows, and a whole new chapter, Ellen’s message was simple: She’s out—and loving it.
