Ellen DeGeneres isn’t leaving the UK<\/p>\n

Although the 68-year-old TV star and her wife, Portia de Rossi<\/a>, 53, recently splashed out on a $27.4 million home in Montecito, California, the couple have no plans to leave rural England where they settled in 2024.<\/p>\n

A source told Us Weekly: \u201cThey are still planning to live full-time in the UK but will spend a few months of the year in Montecito.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ellen and Portia – who have been married since 2008 – swapped the US for the Cotswolds in 2024, after contemplating a move for some time.<\/p>\n

A source previously told Us Weekly: “They had visited before and looked at homes but weren\u2019t sure when they would do it. When they found the right place, they jumped on it.”<\/p>\n

\nEllen previously claimed that “everything” is “just better” in the UK.<\/p>\n

\nThe TV star admitted that she was relishing her new lifestyle since making the move to England.<\/p>\n

\nShe told broadcaster Richard Bacon: “It’s absolutely beautiful. We’re just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture – everything you see is charming and it’s just a simpler way of life.<\/p>\n

\n“It’s clean. Everything here is just better – the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”<\/p>\n

\nEllen – who hosted her own TV talk show between 2003 and 2022 – explained that she has been enjoying the rural lifestyle since leaving the US in 2024.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.”<\/p>\n

\nDeGeneres also confirmed that she and de Rossi moved to the UK because of President Donald Trump\u2019s re-election.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: \u201cWe got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, \u2018He got in\u2019. And we\u2019re like, \u2018We\u2019re staying here.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
