After decades in the spotlight, Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, made a major life change by relocating to the UK following Donald Trump’s 2024 re-election. In a public appearance in Cheltenham, Ellen confirmed the move, saying, “We moved here in November,” and shared her delight in seeing snow for the first time.
Now living in the Cotswolds, the couple has embraced a quieter, rural lifestyle—tending to chickens, briefly caring for runaway sheep, and transporting Portia’s horses across the Atlantic. Ellen described their home as “beautiful and charming,” and praised the calm, polite atmosphere of British life. Concerned by political shifts in the U.S., including fears over LGBTQ+ rights, they are even considering renewing their vows in England.
