Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have left the United States. Their move comes after Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election. The couple, strong supporters of Kamala Harris, were unhappy with the result. Sources say they decided to “get the hell out” of the country.
They’ve settled in the Cotswolds, a peaceful region in South West England. It’s about two hours from London. Reports reveal they had purchased the property before the election. This move seems permanent. They are selling their Montecito mansion and another California home.
Disappointed and Disillusioned
Ellen DeGeneres publicly supported Kamala Harris during the campaign. In August, she posted on Instagram. “There’s nothing more powerful than a woman whose time has come,” she wrote. She also donated $3,300 to Harris’s campaign.
The election results left them deeply disappointed. They felt disillusioned with the direction of the country. Their decision to leave reflects that.

DeGeneres and de Rossi aren’t alone. Other celebrities are considering leaving the U.S.
- Eva Longoria spends time in Spain and Mexico. She called the U.S. a “dystopian country.”

Social Media Reactions
Trump supporters criticized DeGeneres online. Some reminded her of past comments about leaving. Others mocked her decision. She hasn’t responded to the backlash.
DeGeneres and de Rossi are now settling into their new life. Their move symbolizes frustration felt by many in Hollywood. Whether more stars will follow remains to be seen.
