Ellen DeGeneres and her wife of 15 years, Portia De Rossi, are moving out of the United States after their preferred presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, lost the election. By doing this, Ellen DeGeneres is one of the first celebrities to leave the country because of the results, and others may follow suit soon.
Amid the relocation, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi put up their multimillion-dollar home in Montecito, California for sale via Riskin Partners. The property reportedly sold in no time for $96 million via an off-market deal with a Singapore-based business mogul.

Sources say Ellen DeGeneres and her wife have moved to the Cotswolds, a rural area in south-central England, and are settled quite nicely. This comes after her standup special, Four Your Approval, premiered on Netflix. The comedy icon mentioned that she now spends her time gardening and rearing chickens since stopping Ellen.
Other Hollywood celebrities, including Cher, Sharon Stone, America Ferrera, Barbra Streisand, Sophie Turner, and a few others, have threatened to move soon. Like Ellen DeGeneres, Streisand also has her sights on England, as she stated on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

News of Ellen DeGeneres’ move hit social media, provoking varying reactions from fans and foes alike. Some also clarified that she cannot live there forever unless she has dual citizenship. “Wait until the rain starts, and the sun goes into hibernation. They’ll be back in California in less than a year,” someone teased.
A few supported her decision, calling on other liberals to follow suit in solidarity. “I support this… Come on! It will be an excellent adventure,” they said. The 66-year-old has yet to comment on her relocation and is currently running her Christmas giveaway specials via her Instagram page.
