According to TMZ, the couple has put their house in Montecito, Calif., on the market. They have already headed across the pond to their new home. Their former property is about 90 minutes north of Los Angeles. DeGeneres had purchased it in 2019. She and de Rossi made it their primary residence while in America.
The couple is settling down in the south-central England town of Cotswolds.
A source allegedly close to Ellen DeGeneres also confirmed to The Wrap that she and Portia de Rossi have no plans to return to America, especially once Donald Trump is officially the country’s 47th president.
It was further reported that DeGeneres and de Rossi had purchased their new UK home before the election, indicating that they were planning to move no matter the outcome of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.
The move also happened just after DeGeneres concluded her new Netflix stand-up show, For Your Approval. While the cameras were rolling, she spoke about what she has been up to since her famous self-titled talk show came to an end and when she was kicked out of the entertainment industry.
She was previously accused of creating a toxic culture on the set of her talk show.
“I decided to take up gardening,” DeGeneres further stated on the show. “I got chickens. Let me see what else I can tell you about what’s been going on … Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business … Yeah, the ‘be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline.”
Ellen DeGeneres Opens Up About How the Toxic Workplace Scandal Impacted Her Life
In the Netflix show, Ellen DeGeneres spoke out about how she went through therapy amid the workplace scandal. Taking to her therapist helped her “deal with all the hatred” she endured.
“It was not a common situation for a therapist to deal with,” DeGeneres also explained. “At one point, my therapist said, ‘Ellen, where do you get this idea that everyone hates you?’”
“I said, ‘Well, New York Times, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly — I think Elmo may have said something recently on an episode of ‘Sesame Street.'”
DeGeneres then recalled reading a headline, dubbing her the “most hated person in America.”
“It’s a horrible thing to say about somebody, and to make it worse,” she further declared. “There was no trophy, no awards banquet. Nothing.”
At some point in the special, DeGeneres spoke about how things would have turned out if the talk show had a different ending. “Had I ended my show by saying, ‘Go f–k yourselves,’ people would have been pleasantly surprised to find out I’m kind,” she jokingly added.
