BREAKING NEWS: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have moved to the UK following Trump’s victory as they become the latest stars to leave the US. Ellen DeGeneres says she couldn’t live here any longer…see more

Ellen DeGeneres is making a quick exit from the United States — seemingly for good.

The 66-year-old talk show host, comedian and actress has moved to rural England, according to a new report in The Wrap.

DeGeneres is taking up roots in the UK with her wife Portia de Rossi, 51, and they reportedly have no plans to return to the US.

To underscore the apparent permanence of the move, the couple plan to put their Montecito mansion on the market.

A person close to the former Ellen DeGeneres Show host claimed that she and de Rossi were primarily skipping town in response to the 2024 presidential election, which saw Donald Trump win a second non-consecutive term.

DailyMail.com reached out to a former representative for DeGeneres for comment, but she no longer represents the comedian after the conclusion of her latest stand-up tour.

The couple are now reportedly living in the Cotswolds, a rural portion of Southwest England that is about 100 miles from London. 

The area is popular with celebrities looking to avoid the hustle and bustle of London, which would make sense for DeGeneres and Rossi, as they had already tried to avoid Los Angeles by moving out to Santa Barbara County’s Montecito, about 75 miles from LA.

Ellen and Portia will have plenty of celebrity neighbors. Among the stars with properties in the Cotswolds are David and Victoria Beckham, Kate Moss, Patrick Stewart, Elizabeth Hurley, Jeremy Clarkson and Damien Hirst, among many others.

The area is even home to royalty, as King Charles owns Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.

Kate Winslet has also had a mansion in the area at one point, though it’s unclear if she still lives there, and Hugh Grant has been rumored for years to have a small hideaway in the Cotswolds.

Last week, DeGeneres and de Rossi were spotted visiting Clarkson’s pub in the Cotswolds. 

In October, The Sun reported that the couple had bought a Cotswolds property, so their purchase predates the 2024 election.

However, after Trump’s win the married couple became ‘very disillusioned,’ and one source claimed the vowed to ‘to get the hell out’ of the US afterward, according to sources who spoke to TMZ.

Though many celebrities have threatened to leave the US in the face of a Trump win, most haven’t followed through.

Stars including Cher, Barbra Streisand, Sharon Stone and Sophie Turner have all said they were considering leaving the US if Trump won, though it’s not clear if any of them will actually do so.

America Ferrera is said to be considering a move to the UK, and Eva Longoria has spoken about relocating to Europe, though she clarified that, despite her disapproval of Trump, she had moved for international work.

The publication notes that DeGeneres was among Vice President Kamala Harris’ high-profile celebrity donors. 

She donated $3,300 to the losing Democratic candidate, which is the maximum amount that can be donated directly to a candidate, though wealthy donors often get around the contribution limits by donating much more to political action committees and super PACs.

Harris was tapped to replace President Biden as the Democratic candidate in July of this year, and DeGeneres shared an endorsement for her on social media in August. 

Despite reportedly leaving the US because of the election and Donald Trump’s looming second administration, DeGeneres had plenty of reasons for a new start away from home.

Her career was tarnished — likely permanently — by accusations that she fostered a toxic workplace on the set of her eponymous daytime talk show, which aired its last episode on May 26, 2022. 

She delved into her persona non grata status on her stand-up special For Your Approval, which was released on Netflix in late September. 

The comedian joked that she had been ‘kicked out of show business’ in the special, which featured material about how she has been spending her time since the end of her TV show.

According to The Wrap, DeGeneres and de Rossi have either pocket-listed their Bali-inspired Montecito mansion, or it will soon be listed.

According to TMZ, they are still mulling a potential asking price, but once they settle on one the property will go on the market. 

DeGeneres and de Rossi purchased the massive home for an eye-popping $27 million in 2019. 

The mansion features five bedrooms and 10 bathrooms over 8,188 square feet, and it includes exotic features like bamboo ceilings, flamed black limestone and gorgeous distressed oak floors.
