Ellen DeGeneres expresses improvement following Trump's election victory: "Things are great now"
American talk show host Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, actress Portia de Rossi, have made a significant change in their long-term residency by permanently moving to England. The couple, who have been together since 2004, initially owned a house in England, intending to spend only three to four months there each year. However, their plans changed following the election of US President Donald Trump.
In a confirmation to British broadcaster BBC, DeGeneres shared that they decided to stay in England after waking up to messages with crying emojis following the US election. DeGeneres has been vocal about people in America being afraid "to be who they are," and she finds the treatment of animals and the politeness of the people in England to be better compared to the US.
The move to England has brought new experiences for DeGeneres, such as experiencing snow for the first time last winter and keeping chickens on her property. DeGeneres' wife Portia de Rossi even flew her horses to England to join them.
While DeGeneres and de Rossi's move to England was influenced by political reasons, it is important to note that there is no public record of them moving due to any specific U.S. political event. Other Hollywood celebrities, like Rosie O'Donnell, have also moved away from the US due to political reasons, with O'Donnell choosing to move to Ireland.
DeGeneres, known for her popular daytime talk show, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which concluded in 2022 after 19 seasons, has been involved in various philanthropic efforts and has spoken about social issues. The couple continues to reside in England, maintaining a low profile in their new home.
