Ellen DeGeneres: Did she flee to England because of Trump?

The decision has apparently been made: According to media reports, American talk show legend Ellen DeGeneres (66) and her wife Portia de Rossi (51) have already left the USA and moved to England. , the couple have settled in the Cotswolds, an idyllic region about two hours northwest of London. The decisive factor for this decision was the election of Donald Trump (78) as the next US President.

Insiders report that the couple had already purchased a property in the picturesque region before the US presidential election. After Donald Trump’s surprising election victory over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris (60), they decided to move away from the USA permanently, a source close to the couple reveals. DeGeneres and de Rossi were “very disillusioned” with the election results.

The former talk show host had previously clearly positioned herself for Harris during the election campaign. “There is nothing stronger than a woman whose time has come,” she wrote on Instagram in August, donating $3,300 to Harris’ campaign.

The move actually seems to be serious: According to the sources mentioned, the couple is also planning to sell their luxurious villa in Montecito, California. It wasn’t until 2023 that they sold another property there for $96 million.

DeGeneres is obviously one of the few celebrities to make good on her announcement that she will leave the country in the event of a Trump victory. Recently, numerous Trump supporters made fun of the moderator on social media and reminded her of previous statements. According to TMZ, the couple’s spokesman did not initially respond to a request for final confirmation of the move.
