Ellen and Portia’s UK Move: A Love Story, a Protest, and a New Chapter
So, have you heard the latest about Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi? It's pretty fascinating. After decades of living under the Hollywood spotlight, the couple has made a bold shift—quite literally crossing the Atlantic—to settle in the Cotswolds, England. But it’s not just a story about a celebrity couple embracing countryside charm. This move came with serious motivation, and some very human emotions behind it.
Apparently, the day after Donald Trump was re-elected as President in 2024, Ellen and Portia decided they’d had enough. They woke up to a flood of texts from friends filled with crying emojis, and that was it. Ellen looked at Portia and said, “We’re staying here.” What started as a plan to spend just a few months a year in the UK turned into a full-blown relocation. They bought a house—complete with its own pub, by the way—and have been trying to settle into a slower, simpler life in the English countryside.

But things haven't been all tea and scones. Their first Cotswolds mansion, which they reportedly bought for £15 million, was affected by flooding, prompting them to purchase a second home nearby. Now, that first house is quietly up for sale—no public listing, just waiting for the "right buyer" to come along.
Portia de Rossi, ever the graceful counterpart to Ellen’s candid humor, seems to be thriving in this new chapter. She even had her horses flown over, and the two briefly kept sheep before realizing they had a knack for escaping. It’s like something out of a British rom-com—minus the drama.
What really hits home, though, is Ellen’s openness about why they left. She spoke candidly at a Cheltenham event about how America still doesn’t feel entirely safe or welcoming for LGBTQ+ individuals. With conservative movements pushing to reverse the right to gay marriage, Ellen and Portia are even thinking about renewing their vows in England—just in case.
This isn’t just about politics or real estate. It’s about safety, acceptance, and choosing joy. For Ellen, the UK offers peace, beauty, and a society that feels a little more polite, a little more tolerant. She says it best herself: “Everything here is just better.”
And while Ellen has admitted she misses her talk show and is still figuring out what’s next, for now, the couple is enjoying chickens, countryside charm, and a slower pace of life. Maybe they’ll find a way to bring a bit of that Ellen sparkle to British screens. Until then, it’s refreshing to see someone like Ellen—flawed, honest, still funny—carving out a quieter, more intentional existence with the love of her life by her side.
