Ellen Degeneres joins Americans eyeing life abroad after Trump’s return to power

The Hollywood star plans a move to England, joining others seeking life abroad amid political shifts.

Former talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres is trading sunny California for the picturesque Cotswolds in England, following Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential election victory. Reports reveal that DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, purchased their U.K. property before the election but decided to relocate permanently after Trump’s win left them “disillusioned.”

DeGeneres had vocally supported Kamala Harris, who stepped in as the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden withdrew. However, Trump’s narrow victory over Harris led to a wave of frustration among his critics, sparking renewed interest in emigration. Immigration websites for Canada, New Zealand, and Australia reportedly saw surges in traffic from despondent Americans exploring their options.

For DeGeneres, the move marks a new chapter away from the U.S. spotlight. She was recently seen settling into her new community, enjoying live music with local celebrities in a Cotswolds pub. The couple plans to list their Montecito estate, known for its A-list neighbors, as they embrace a quieter life across the pond.

DeGeneres’ decision reflects a broader sentiment among Americans questioning the country’s political direction and seeking opportunities abroad.
