and her wife, Portia de Rossi, 52, bought a home in the Cotswolds. What started as a retreat has become their permanent residence.
Ellen praised her new surroundings and criticized the direction of the U.S., especially regarding LGBTQ+ rights. She referenced moves by the Southern Baptist Convention to challenge same-sex marriage, saying, “If that happens, we’ll get married here.” Reflecting on her talk show, she admitted, “I’m blunt. Sometimes that means I’m mean.”
Ellen’s move aligns with a growing trend—after the 2024 election, searches about moving abroad surged, and polls show nearly 1 in 5 Americans want to leave the country. While the UK has its own challenges, Ellen says she’s found peace and a fresh start in the English countryside.
