Ellen DeGeneres Says Donald Trump Is The Reason She Permanently Moved to England: ‘Everything Here Is Just Better’
Ellen DeGeneres, 67, and wife Portia de Rossi, 52, have permanently relocated to the Cotswolds, UK, citing Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election as the decisive factor. Speaking in Cheltenham, Ellen said they arrived just before the election and chose to stay after Trump’s victory, concerned about U.S. policies, particularly threats to LGBTQ+ rights like same-sex marriage. Facing backlash from toxic workplace allegations that ended her talk show, Ellen admitted to being blunt, sometimes perceived as mean. Their UK home, initially a retreat, is now permanent. Ellen praised the peaceful countryside, despite the UK’s challenges. This move reflects a broader trend: post-2024 election, nearly 20% of Americans express interest in leaving, with searches for moving abroad spiking. Ellen’s new chapter in England offers her a fresh start.
